Maine Republican Wants Limits on Guns Which Can ‘Rapidly Fire’
Breitbart ^ | 12/19/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 12/19/2023 6:27:32 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Leroy G. Walker Sr. (R), is a city council member in Auburn, Maine, and he wants to see limits on firearms which can “rapidly fire.”

Bangor Daily News (BDN) reported Walker’s son was killed in the October 25, 2023, Lewiston attacks in which the gunman allegedly used an AR-10 and an AR-15. An AR-10 is traditionally chambered in .308 and an AR-15 in 5.56.

Since the attack, Walker has pointed the finger at Republicans who have long opposed additional gun controls, claiming they are “prolonging what needs to be done to slow these weapons down.”

Maine, like Alaska and the UP in Michigan, is about as fun-country as it gets.

The level of stupidity these people display is mind boggling.

“rapidly fire.”

Deliberately subjective phrasing to allow for a wide parameter for the definition.

Now they can define “rapidly” as anything more than one round a minute for instance......so now they can ban ALL firearms.

I could probably cause him to have a seizure watching me fan my single action Schofield revolver.

Leroy G. Walker Sr. (R) is a idiot.

That knows nothing about firearms.

Stupid is the correct word. The non-existent “assault weapon” that is being demonized is nowhere near the deadly menace it has been sold by the left as being. Any semi-automatic shotgun is FAR more lethal. It doesn’t even have to be semi-automatic...a good pump action can be worked almost as fast. Now that they have worked the bugs out, the Keltec KSG dual-tube pump is one nasty weapon.

“Rapidly fire.” What the hell is that? My blackpowder flintlock rifle can fire about two rounds per minute, is that rapid fire? Just more bullsh!t symantics.

” Maine Republican Wants Limits on Guns Which Can ‘Rapidly Fire’”

That pretty much includes any semiautomatic weapon which by the way is what the Democrats call assault weapons.

Is a fully loaded cap and ball revolver rapid fire?

While I completely oppose what this guy wants to do, I don’t think that most of you read even the part of the article posted here: the guy’s son died in the attack in October. If I were in Maine, I would fight his proposal, but still have some understanding of, and compassion for, what the guy is going through. Calling him an idiot, etc. may be accurate, but it certainly isn’t called for.
