“ legally purchased a sniper rifle with .308 caliber bullets‘ - that would describe most deer hunting rifles. .308 or 30-06.
At least we’re not any safer.
It’s shredding the second amendment a little at a time. Every mass shooting provides the excuse to take more guns away from the non-violent people.
It is not about stopping any gun violence, in schools or anywhere else.
When I was growing up, Maine was loaded with U.S. males who all had served in WWII and when they weren’t bustin’ their asses working, they were out hunting. Everyone had a gun. Now, the typical Maine male is a manbun boy or a boy whose head full of cornrows looks like it exploded.
.308 caliber? A .308 rifle cartridge will NOT work in and AR 15 platform. Case is too long. But it might have been a 300 AAC blackout rifle, which is a modified .223 brass. The neck of the brass is sized for 30 caliber. It is a short range weapon. Or it might have been 7.62x39 (again 30 caliber) (ammo used in AK rifles), that is much less likely.
They have been for a long time. Case in point: Susan Collins.
Besides, gun control to Dems is not about preventing mass shootings. It's about gun owner control.
Every “gun bill” is feel good crap...
Note: 300 Blackout has a short effective range, the rifle in the photo had a very short barrel. That type of rifle will have an effective range of 100-150 yards. It is NOT a sniper rifle.
Idiots write the News articles. Clueless.
If Maine is so blue why did Deep State shove RCV down its throat, hmmm...?
Maine will soon cut down on drunk driving by refusing to issue driver’s licensees to non drinkers
