Anti-Gun Politicians Try to Sneak in Dangerous Amendments

In a bill called "An Act to Amend the Law Governing the Disposition of Forfeited Firearms" , anti-gun politicians have snuck in an amendment that would seek to change the definition of Machine Guns to include many common modifications to semi-automatic firearms. 

This is just one step away from being amended in a later session to completely remove semi-automatic firearms from law-abiding citizens.

The Maine Gun Safety Coalition is even touting this change as an "assault weapons ban".
