Gun safety group to hold Portland forum

PORTLAND — The Maine Gun Safety Coalition will hold a public forum at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 16, at the First Parish Unitarian Church, 425 Congress St.

The guest speaker will be Igor Volsky, co-founder of Guns Down America, who in a new book argues that guns – not criminals –are the problem.

During the town hall-style forum, Volsky will also discuss a new campaign to push the nation’s 15 largest banks to stop doing business with the gun lobby, the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers. 

Call 780-0501 or email [email protected] for more information. The Maine Gun Safety Coalition was founded in 2000.
