Maine is a state with an out-sized hunting establishment, an establishment that drives a good portion of the state economy. This whole mantra that someone is coming for your guns DID NOT originate from nor was it promulgated by these folks.
It was a pure fabrication of the US armament industry and was sold to hunters under the falsest of premises - that was someone is going to steal their livelihood. That they unfortunately bought the argument shows the power of propaganda disguised as advertising.
Once that sort of lie is embedded, it's almost impossible to extract.
My guess is that your and sekker are both correct, meaning that there was some collusion between both the manufacturer and the gun sucking rights groups.
