<h1>Preventing Gun Violence in Maine</h1>
Welcome to the home of Maine Citizens Against Handgun Violence. Founded in 1999, MCAHV is actually two organizations - Maine Citizens Against Handgun Violence (501c4) whose mission includes legislative and lobbying work, and Maine Citizens Against Handgun Violence Foundation (501c3) whose primary mission includes education through programs like our Gun Lock Giveaway which has distributed over 23,000 locks to Maine families.</div>

At gun stores, you have to get a background check before you can buy a weapon. But online in most states, anyone from law-abiding citizens to dangerous criminals – even terrorists – can get just about any weapon they want, no questions asked. Our hidden camera investigation shows the deals going down in broad daylight, in suburban mall parking lots.</strong></p>

A shooting where 19 people were shot, six of whom died including a 9-year-old girl who had simply gone to meet her Congresswoman. </p>
<p>Over 70 people including several "Silent Witnesses" attended the vigil on the steps of Portland City Hall. We had very good press coverage and hope that the vigil also lends itself to bringing awareness to the issue of gun violence.</p>
