Forty-five Maine lawmakers are pressuring Cabela’s to stop selling AR-15s and other firearms Democrats describe as “assault rifles,” noting the October 25, 2023, Lewiston attacker bought a handgun from the retail giant.

Lawmakers did not explain what buying a handgun has to do with buying an AR-15, but they are pushing for Cabela’s to drop the sales of AR-15s anyway.

WGME noted that the push is being led by State Rep. Lori Gramlich (D), and that she the other 44 lawmakers sent a letter to Cabela’s which said, in part:

Cabelas should respond with:

After hearing the pleas from our public masters, we are no longer going to sell any type of firearm or ammunition to ANY Public Employee in the State.

Dick's Sporting Goods stopped selling ARs after one of the school shootings, and Walmart stopped selling ARs and even .223 ammunition around the same time.

Man, I got a lot of good deals with closeout .223 ammunition from WallyWorld.

You’re thinking we’re still living in the America we grew up in. Have you noticed what happening to people now who tell democrats to ‘piss up a rope’?

“..Cabela’s should tell them to piss up a rope....”

Yep...for sure.
However, the proper Maine vernacular is: “Go Piss Up A Stump”.
The beotch leading the charge on the letter went to the Kittery store was was totally freaked out by the typical row of guns on display behind the counter along with those big, huge magazines that fit in em.
She’s a total moron (typical RAT) and up for re-election.

“..Shouldn’t they be taking this up with Bass Pro...?...”

Their letter did go to BassPro.
The whole southern part of the state has been invaded by RATs from NY, MA, CT, etc. trying to escape from the very RAT BS that they’re now wanting to do in ME....they’re fricken’ morons..
They now call southern ME: little Massachusetts. Even this beotch leading the charge is not originally from ME, although she has lived there for over 30 years.

You’re asking too much of liberals if you expect them to know the difference between a handgun and a rifle.

After all we know a .38 Special is actually an AR15 rifle. A crossbow is also an AR15.

AR stands for “atomic rifle”, the type used in the Castle Bravo test.

Cabellas should tell them that at no time ever have they sold “assault rifles” because it is illegal to do so unless you have special permits to do so. Then tell em to piss up a rope

Maine is a beuatiful state to live in- I have a better idea- kick the liberal scum in Maine to the curb and retake the beautiful state of Maine for the fantastic conservatives who are living there.

To reflect actual killers, shouldn’t all Trans be blamed as they are the largest killing and certain people with violent criminal occurrences? Facts not Fear.

Also follow-up, obese can’t purchase donuts, pizza, fries, marijuana, smoke, etc. as not to hurt themselves. And I thought the Puritans were distinct?

The appropriate response should be something akin to an old time DI yelling at a new recruit about something stupid they did. No discussion. Just high volume yelling about how big of a FU they are.

From your keyboard to God’s ears.
That Austin Powers look-alike they have as governor now is a typical moronic RAT idiot....
