Congressman Poliquin released the following statement:\nGrowing up in Central Maine, I understand the importance and tradition of fishing, camping, hunting and exercising our Second Amendment rights.\nFrom combating the Administrations proposed ban on M855 5.56 x 45mm ammunition to supporting a national concealed carry reciprocity bill, I have supported numerous bills that will help protect Mainers Second Amendment rights.\nFor example, I proudly cosponsored a bill that will repeal current laws and regulations that restrict firearms-trained military personnel from carrying firearms on military bases and armed forces recruitment facilities.There is simply no reason that our military members should not be afforded this right.\nIn Congress, I will continue to support bills that will allow Mainers to pass along the rich tradition of exercising their Second Amendment rights from one generation to the next.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://poliquin.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/commitment-protecting-mainers-second-amendment-rights"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7761120796203613, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
