Our fight began in 1999 when Senator Diane Feinstein made her first attempt to ban .50 caliber rifles. A fledgeling FCSPI rose to the challenge and won. To date at the federal level, we have successfully defeated proposed bans in the the 106th, 107th and 108th Congress. Now the battle has spread nationwide. The anti-gun lobbyists are forum shopping an looking for the best locations that their agenda can be spread. FCI will fight for your rights as long as we can, but we need your support to continue.

LD-1579:
The state of Maine began its movement towards not only banning ownership and manufacture of .50 caliber rifles, but of owning .50 caliber ammunition as well. Even reloading your own casings is prohibited!

The proposal calls for confiscation without compensation. Believe it or not, this piece of legislation is actually WORSE than California and Illinois.

As of this writing the status of the proposed legislation in the state of maine to ban assault weapons and .50 BMG is officially "Under suspension of the Rules Pursuant to Joint Rule 310.3 Placed in Legislative Files (DEAD)." It is clear that that the author of the bill deided to pull his proposed ban as a result of the public's overwhelming response at the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee hearing. Keep up the good work! [More.]
