Hey Joe you picked a bad day to forget your vest
“This would be in direct violation of the US Constitution.”
That’s pretty funny. They wipe their butts with it.
“After all, they’re our neighbors with ties to the communities they live in.”
I live in Maine. I know where the police chief lives. I know where the county sheriff lives. I know where police officers live. If I know, many other people know, too.
People in Maine are heavily armed.
Ms. Piggy is nuts.
They don’t find it. Oh Shucks.
I don’t get Maine. From what I’ve heard, you folks are hard-nosed, live in rural areas. Yet you folks vote as if you lived in Los Angeles. What’s up with your politics?
From 1994 through 2004, I thought it was the MANUFACTURE of new weapons that was banned.
Wasn’t it legal to purchase pre-1994 semi-automatic rifles in gun shops and from private parties?
This will not turn out good.
“Support for the NRA is being demonized and ridiculed...”
Sure - but the NRA has been adding 8K new members a day since last Saturday. The more vitriole the left spews...
Yeah, Dumbberg wipes his butt with it in his little fiefdom.
The pansy soda ban man can stick it every where else in the US.
I recall reading of a Marine at Guadalcanal did something similar tho I cannot recall his name offhand. The one who ended up holding a Browning .30 caliber machine gun in his arms as he kept fighting the Japs.
They’ll need to bring a map of the county, a bulldozer and a darned good metal detector to get some of mine and the ammo.

Uh-huh.
They would not dare to enforce federal immigation law. And Holder would stop them if they tried. FUBO!!!!
Who said anything about perfectly good? Read much?
“The pansy soda ban man can stick it every where else in the US.”
This is bigger than just NY, I suspect there will be a bandwagon effect. Call your reps to cut this off before it gains too much momentum.
Yes, still is.
From 1994 through 2004, I thought it was the MANUFACTURE of new weapons that was banned.
No, just dumb cosmetic changes to the ARs like no flash suppressors and bayonet lugs, et cetera.
