Maine's Governor Janet Mills enacted a 72-hour waiting period for certain firearm purchases while vetoing a bump stock ban. The new waiting period includes caveats that exempt law enforcement, correction officers, and security personnel, and exempts private sales, leading to questions about its enforceability and constitutionality. The veto of the bump stock ban was justified by concerns over unintended consequences for responsible gun owners.
