A push for stricter gun laws in Maine

A MASS SHOOTING THAT LEFT 18 people dead at a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Oct. 25 is putting a spotlight on the state's legal laxity on gun safety.

It is Donald Trump's.

Are the world's wealthiest innovators saving humanity or hastening our demise?
