In a victory for the Second Amendment, Maine voters soundly rejected a Michael Bloomberg-backed gun control measure that would have expanded background checks throughout the state. Voters voted against Question 3 by a vote of 52 to 48.
Question 3 would have made it illegal for a person to lend or gift a firearm to a friend without a background check. Given Maine’s strong gun culture, Constitutional carry law, and relative lack of gun crime, many voters were concerned that this measure was attempting to “solve” a problem that didn’t actually exist in the state.
