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

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.”

Well, I guess it’s back the muzzle-loading muskets for gun owners.

If I was a gun owner, I’d turn mine in right away for a cool flintlock. No, I would, for sure.

Let us know how his negotiations with the chicoms and soviet bloc go on getting rid of their AK platforms.

Oink.

Dang fool probably would have called to outlaw the Ferguson Rifle back in 1787.

[NorthMountain]

Rapidly fire?

Hah!

Ever see Jerry Miculek run a revolver?

THAT is “rapidly firing”. Accurate, too.

The first name that popped into my head was Ed McGivern. https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/remembering-the-legendary-ed-mcgivern/

[NorthMountain]

the guy’s son died in the attack in October.

I.

DON'T.

CARE.

Emotionally incontinent ignorami in positions of power and authority are an existential threat to the Republic. You say his grief has overcome his rationality? Fine. It's time for him to resign his office, return to private life, and get his head right. Currently, he's violating his oath of office.

So if my kid choked on his meatloaf sandwich, (a possibility, how do you expect to fit half a meatloaf in your mouth?) you would be "understanding" of my wanting a law to ban food?

Or would you think I was an idiot?

Sorry for the loss of your kid. Not going to leave my kids unprotected because of it.

Guns Which Can ‘Rapidly Fire’”
= = =

It’s those guns again.

They get out of the cabinet, and ‘rapidly fire’.

[Gritty]

In 1776 a trained soldier could load and fire three rounds a minute from his musket. Is that slow enough for you Leroy?

[Chode]

here he is breaking McGivern’s record

Fastest shooter EVER, Jerry Miculek- World record 8 shots in 1 second & 12 shot reload!

That’s ok Leroy...you can have a muzzle loader and I’ll keep a semi-auto.

[kawhill]

When they pass a law stating that I can’t buy black powder it’s “Katy bar the door”. I guess I should be buying potassium nitrate, sulphur and charcoal by the ton so I can grind up my own. Better snuff out my cigar before I do. Boom!

[dfwgator]

With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?

[dfwgator]

Looks like a pedo.

[Bonemaker]

10 rounds against this in illannoy, and 5 in Canada.

[NorthMountain]

I’m most impressed with the first shot following the reload. THAT was some very fine shooting.

[shooter223]

I have seen some of Jerry Miculek’s videos. Absolutely AMAZING! I remember reading McGivern’s book in Vietnam of all places. He did most of his shooting with off the shelf S&W model 10s.

[Chode]

100%

[Chode]
