One of Maine’s primary gun control advocate groups, the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, oversaw a gun-giveback program on Saturday at local police departments throughout southern Maine. Despite the focus on gun safety, contractors working with MGSC and the Old Orchard Beach Police Department failed...

What are the odds of it happening if the highly trained professionals from OOBPD were the ones destroying the firearms instead of an anti gun group?

Likely the same....but cops doing physical labor to cut up guns? Not going to happen unless there's a donut in the center of the reciever.

At least no dogs were killed.

Look on the bright side: that's one less evil assault muzzle loader on the streets. I'll sleep better tonight.

"“I think Maine Gun Safety Coalition should have to wait 72 hours before handling a firearm,” Sen. Matt Harrington (R-York) told the Maine Wire."

To be fair, after reading the story, this wasn’t a cop that caused this ND, they were outside contractors hired from MGSC who allegedly specialize in gun safety.

I wish they would provide some details on the muzzleloader. Was it one of the in-line rifles that resemble a modern firearm?

It’s like the scene of the movie “rust” all over again

At work, we got a snail trap and are required to pull the trigger in the office. I make everybody else do it. I don’t wanna do my first desk pop but I just simply clear them like a normal person.

I don’t check them when they pull the trigger though. I usually leave the room.

I'm pretty sure I saw something like this in a Three Stooges episode.

More than once.

Keeping the streets safe from the muzzle loader threat. Too bad it didn't hit one of the antis in the groin, then they'd at least have 1 ball

Best and brightest, not.

The only thing that could make the story more interesting would be that someone was sitting in one of those vehicles and got tagged in the head.

That would have been the most expensive gun "buy back" in history.

Just one more reason to never attend or participate in a government "slow walk", gun confiscation program.

Would like to see them do a EV buy back
Considering all the gas cars with EV plates

Me too. But id bet it was an old fixed breech or replica hence they had to cut - right in the wrong place.

"Despite the focus on gun safety, contractors working with MGSC and the Old Orchard Beach Police Department failed to practice basic gun safety when they attempted to saw a loaded blackpowder rifle, which led to the negligent discharge of the firearm."
***************************

They weren't focused on safety, they were mentally consumed with destroying guns and unqualified to be doing it.

If they didn't know enough to push the ramrod down the barrel and check its length to see if it was loaded, they had no business even handling the thing.

Take the word "Safety" out of their name. Problem solved.
