Moriarty Explains Proposed Arms Bill in Augusta
Police Chief Frank Moriarty argues the Firearms Bill would require registration for guns with six inch barrels or less. He notes it could have prevented a diner murder in Auburn and Lewiston by blocking weapon purchases without proper ID. He adds rifles and shotguns would not be registered and hunting licenses could reveal weapon locations. The bill, he says, would aid crime detection and prevention.
