Heard back from my Representative today. His e-mail is below*. From the way he "talks the talk", it is hard to believe Mr. Allen's "Walkin' the walk" has earned him an F from GOA. Couldn't find Mr. Allen's NRA score.

Thank you for contacting me about restrictions on gun ownership. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Law-abiding citizens in this country have a constitutional right to own guns. In Maine, hunting is a tradition that is important to Maine people and vital to our economy. I support the right to bear arms, and I believe in a state's sovereign right to establish its own gun laws. I do support federal restrictions on the ownership, possession, or use of firearms by convicted felons, persons arrested for domestic violence, and the mentally ill.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I will keep your views in mind when considering legislation on this subject that comes before the House.
Sincerely,
Tom Allen
Member of Congress
