Maine group backs three-part legislation on guns

AUGUSTA, Maine — Prompted by the Connecticut school massacre, a Maine group announced its formation Wednesday, saying that it supports legislation to prevent gun-related violence and will promote gun safety in the state.

Former US attorney Paula Silsby and former Lewiston mayor Larry Gilbert, who also was the city’s police chief and later a US marshal, are co-chairing the Coalition for a ­Safer Maine.

Thank, you, people of Maine, for coming together on this!  You are a role model for the entire nation.
