A Maine town’s tourism sector has come under fire after some visitors have been complaining about a large, hand-painted sign on a private lawn that reads “Black Rifles Matter.”

Linc Sample, the sign’s creator, told NECN on Monday that his work in Boothbay Harbor is about gun rights, not race. He was inspired to post the sign after reading an ad in the local paper that supported a ban on assault weapons.

If they were paying me commercial billboard rates, I’d display whatever message they’d like. $3,000/month would be about right.

If they’re not paying me, it’s none of their business.

It’s okay - just leave your money then go home.

Maybe they are upset because the correct phrase from now on is “rifles of color”.

After all you can get an AR in Pink or Magenta, not only black.

Lets be inclusive.....

Shouldn’t that be a “wicked pissa”?

Tourists are *offended*. Scared of the *black* gun.

My goodness, it could jump off the sign and get pointed at a tourist. :)

I saw tons of BLM signs everywhere, yet the community there seemed lily white. I don’t get it.
