"We in the police and military are
trained in handling life threatening situations, so we can do it, but
you can't, no matter how much time you spend on the range."
michael --
Those are the words of Michael Sauschuck
of Portland, speaking a few years ago at a televised forum on gun
control about his belief that Maine people are too incompetent to
properly exercise our 2nd Amendment rights.
Sadly, we are in danger of this anti-gun
activist being put in charge of enforcing all firearm laws in the
State of Maine.

Our Gun Rights!

Who is Michael
Sauschuck?
Sauschuck is the man Governor Janet Mills has picked
to serve as Commissioner of Public Safety, which would put him in
charge of enforcing firearm policy in the State of
Maine.
He has been a leading activist in the gun
control movement and sits on the Board of Directors for the “Maine Gun
Safety Coalition,” a gun control advocacy group affiliated with NYC
billionaire and gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg.
As
Portland Police Chief, Sauschuck has regularly appeared in uniform to
advocate for stricter gun laws, often putting him at odds with others
in Maine’s law enforcement community.
In 2016, Sauschuck
appeared in uniform (pictured above, alongside national gun control
advocate Gabby Giffords) to urge voters to pass Question 3 --- a gun
control referendum largely financed by Bloomberg.
And worse, new video has emerged (see
above) of Mike Sauschuck rallying gun control supporters in Portland,
outlining his gun control agenda to:
- Criminalize the transfer of firearms
between law-abiding Maine gun owners
- Ban and confiscate commonly owned rifles
on the basis of cosmetic features
- Ban and confiscate commonly owned
ammunition devices
- Empower state government to confiscate
firearms from targeted Maine people without constituionaly-requred due
process of the law

Sauschuck!
Some have asked me, “Why is Mike Sauschuck such a bad choice to lead the
Department of Public Safety and the State Police? Sure he’s an
outspoken gun control activist with ties to Michael Bloomberg, but the
legislature makes the laws, not the Commissioner of Public Safety. Why
does it matter?”
These are fair questions and they deserve
real answers.
We might like to think that all the laws of our
state are written by our elected representatives, but that’s not
completely true.
Increasingly over time, legislatures across
America have surrendered tremendous policy-making authority to
administrative agencies in the executive branch, giving incredible
room for administrative discretion.
Within that discretion, a
Commissioner
Sauschuck would have real authority to set policies that suppress the
individual right to keep and bear arms, including
potential for slowing down the application process for concealed
weapon permits or denying permits to people on arbitrary
grounds.
But what’s far worse is what Sauschuck could do with
the gun control authority Janet Mills and many in the Legislature want
to give him.
You see, Mike Sauschuck is the perfect
pick for a Governor planning an aggressive gun control
agenda.
Our law enforcement community in
Maine, by and large, is very supportive of the individual right to
keep and bear arms compared to most states and many officers could be
resistant to new gun control laws.
To implement an anti-gun
agenda, Mills would need a committed ideologue like Mike Sauschuck at
the head of law enforcement to ensure compliance down the chain of
command.
One of
the new gun control laws that Janet Mills, Mike Sauschuck and gun
grabbers in Augusta have publicly called for would give government
discretion to confiscate firearms from targeted Maine people without
due process of the law.
That means
you would
have no right to know your firearms are being confiscated until the
police show up at your door.
But we can
STOP the confirmation of Mike Sauschuck by making our voice heard in
Augusta.

Step 5. Speak Up in Augusta
Early this year, there will be a public

Augusta.
The confirmation hearing has yet to be scheduled, but
stay posted and I will inform you as soon as information is
available.

of Maine people.
Free Maine,

P.S. Governor Janet Mills has selected anti-gun activist Mike
Sauschuck to be put in charge of enforcing all firearm laws in the
state of Maine.
And she wants to give him the
outrageous authority to confiscate firearms from targeted Maine people
without due process of the law!

Sauschuck!
