Portland police delete post on homemade ‘ghost gun’ encounter after backlash
Portland police delete post on homemade ‘ghost gun’ encounter after backlash
The Portland Police Department deleted a Facebook post about “ghost guns” on Monday after it was criticized by people who said it condemned the possession of legal homemade guns.
The post was made at around 8:30 a.m. but it was deleted less than an hour later and contained few details about the encounter. Several commenters criticized it during the short time it was up, saying that it lacked context and could be interpreted as an attack on homemade guns.
Good to know when your local PD has openly embraced firearm prohibition.While Monday’s post was not explicitly political, the department has advocated for gun-control measures in the past. Former chief Michael Sauschuck, who now serves as commissioner of the Maine Department of Public Safety under Gov. Janet Mills, campaigned for an expansion of background checks while leading the city department.
