Weapons grade freeped it
I'm not picturing Maine going for it.
You can "believe" it all you want. It does not make it a reality or your idiot gun ban Constitutional.
37 weapons were found at crime scenes meaning that when the police arrested some one a weapon was found. Not that they were used 37 times. A nice play on words for a lieing SOB.
I wonder if I can arrange a field trip there for my grandson's preschool. That would make his Marine dad happy and drive the libs here nuts.
Makes me sick to think these arseholes are in positions of influence and power.
Liberals, UGH
LOL, so this is funny. ME is one of the safest places on earth (right behind NH and VT). What are the liberals thinking of? I think its more along the lines of tyranny than public safety.
Q: What is the defn of an assault weapon?
A: Anything the liberals want it to be.
Portland is a cartoon - that city went about 72% for Skerry. That's Strimling's district.
Ping....
"Bushmaster Firearms of Windham sent a letter to the committee last week saying the bill "would require Bushmaster to move out of Maine immediately." Richard Dyke, Bushmaster's chairman, said in the letter that the state would then lose the taxes on $60 million in annual sales, the annual payroll of more than $7 million for 91 employees and nearly $34,000 in property taxes. "
Now the gun makers begin to wake up.

BM wouldnt have too far to move as NH would be the perfect location.
That would work... the nice thing is that if the bill becomes law, it will hurt the pocket books of that state. I'd be thrilled if Bushmaster refused to sell to any agency in that state as well.

Ah yes, MA the state that keeps on giving. NH seems to have dodged the plight of We Know Whats Best For You Liberals Migrating North....at least so far. Perhaps there are still enough right thinking folks there to balance the goblin under every bed phobia of the liberals. I think ME is pretty set too. This time around it won't get much traction. The liberals will need some high profile incident to whip the populace into the required panic to give away their precious rights.
It would be far better if they just moved to NH. However, I suspect the ME liberals just aren't going to get the necessary traction to get this one past...at least not this time.
Sadly, I think BM couldn't exist as a company by selective sales. Think of the irony of it though. Liberal govts that deny the citizen's RIGHT to own guns not able to buy guns themselves. It just gives me goose bumps of delight thinking about it!! :)
LOL... well, Ronnie Barrett's thinking seems to be spreading quite a bit. Now all we need is for the ammo manufacturers to do the same in California. Let the cops have to go to Nevada and pay retail for their ammo.
That brings up a good point... does the bill in Cali take into account over the border trips for ammo from neighboring free states?
Mike
Yes it seems to be...slowly. The tough part of all this is that the guys on the line are getting poked in the eye rather than the dull bunch in the legislature. I think bringing the pain home really is whats needed. For instance...legislators will have to endure EXACTLY the same procedures and laws as everyone else...no special favors or dispensations. Laws creating special classes really stink for those left out. As a side note notice the liberals only talk about disenfranchisment in a narrow context that suits their agenda. Why should I depend on the state for my protection? I believe most police feel the same way and really don't want to be involved w/ the community in that way. Those Ive talked to really prefer the populace be well armed.
