Lawmakers ask store to stop selling assault-style rifles (Maine)

[Uzi2]

Here is the reply I got from one of them. From what he says it is obvious he has no idea what a semi-auto is or about the brief federal laws pertaining to the so called assault rifle. I did reply and pointed out his ignorance and have not gotten another reply.


"I am sorry I have not made my position clear. I am totally in fair of expanding deer permits. I can even see semi-automatics at ranges (as long as they stay there). Semi-automatics were not legal from 1994 to 2004, so it is not a constitutional issue. I am politely asking the Trading Post to make guns that could easily be used for mass shootings less available. I know people are lawsuit happy but I know there is no basis for a lawsuit for asking."

Obviously Deane Rykerson thinks the 2A is about deer hunting. He also didn't proof read his letter before sending it out, unless the typo in the second sentence is a product of the poster.

Mr. Rykerson actually there IS basis for a lawsuit against YOU and your two tyrant cohorts. You are using the titles of your office as elected officials as a basis to exhibit and insinuate a claim of legal authority and intimidate and oppress the activities of a legal business entity that is conducting lawful business in the state of Maine.
That is abuse of office. Had you done the same as private citizens you would have been within your rights, but as an elected official and sending your letter identifying yourselves as such you have overstepped your bounds and are in violation of the law, placing yourselves in jeopardy.

The Conspiracy Against Rights statute, 18 USC 241, makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any rightor privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).

Perhaps you should now seek legal council for the potential suit that may be brought against you in the near future.

That was my first thought.

Anybody know who these three douchebags are?

Probably all transplants from other states.

I would send a letter back saying "Not to be Dick's, but go take a flying "F" on a rolling donut!".
Freedom is having the right to do what some might call dangerous and paying the price if you get it wrong!

Is this a direct cut-and-paste? In addition to the idiotic shit about "semi-automatics," did he really say he's "totally in fair of expanding deer permits?"

What kind of moron is this guy?

 

[ISOTOX]

I'm surprised that Moon Bat Collins did not get into this one....

 

[Peicemaker]

I hope that these shitbirds get sued and removed from office. Pathetic.

 

[McReef]

Stupid spreads like a disease.

 

[Kurtz]

Imagine if they were in control of the House and Senate

Trump claims to be a huge supporter of the 2nd A. yet stands by while state after state screws their gun owners

Lets see what happens after he gets another SC pick. Especially if there's no blue wave in November and he then gets a second term. I think his second term is when he starts putting the screws to all this unconstitutional bullshit.

Last sentence makes zero sense... but then again nothing about this does.

Another classic example of gun grabbers not knowing what they are talking about. Semi-auto's weren't legal from 1994 to 2004 huh? Wow who knew that!

And don't worry it isn't a Constitutional issue because, well, I don't understand/respect how the Constitution works.

I don't think the President can do a whole lot directly about individual state laws. We must be patient and wait while those laws are challenged and (hopefully) come before a more 2A friendly SCOTUS.

 

[amm5061]

How does this law not apply to all of these people harassing store owners or any other business owners for that matter?

The Conspiracy Against Rights statute, 18 USC 241, makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).

Everyone knows that laws do not apply to Democrats, duh!

He's from NY...whadda you expect?

Hmmm. So maybe the answer is for all of us to become DimoCRAPs! Even better, illegal alien DimoCRAPs!

Actually the The Conspiracy Against Rights statute, 18 USC 241 is a federal Law and I believe the President can do something about it.

 

[M60]

Sounds like a great way to not get yourself re-elected!

Boycotting gun retailers in Maine is like boycotting tobacco retailers in North Carolina.

 

[H-minus]

Those clams suck. Bought a greasy mess. Ended up throwing out half a box. Never again

Blasphemy

 

[ToddDubya]

Just sent their president an email offering my support against these traitors. Now to find something to buy from their website.

Yet the Liberals get to cry foul when Transgenders don't get their choice of bathrooms in NC.

Well, I sympathize with you, but how many times has that worked out for us in the past? Zero I believe. Something about "qualified immunity" protecting our worthless leftist pols?

I believe it would still have to go through the courts. I don't think the President can just unilaterally put those worthless pols in jail.

 

[Radtekk]

How exactly isnt most of the dem party facing charges for the above.......

Sessions needs to get his arse in gear

Sessions needs to get his arse in a rocking chair on the porch and let a REAL man take charge of the DoJ.

 

[T-Unit]

KTP should move across border to NH. Imagine the tax revenues that place generates.

Kittery is well known among gun people in Mass and RI. If they moved over to somewhere outside Nashua, they'd probably get even more business then before cuz no sales tax.

Unfortunately, KTP is one of those companies that has been intimidated by our series of nutty anti-2A AG's and refuses to sell handguns to Massachusetts residents (via FFL-to-FFL transfer, of course). They have disappointed me more than a few times. I guess that's why I am not a big fan... but that said, I still think this ugly intimidation thing is despicable.

No, but he CAN do stuff about the ATF, DEA, FBI, NSA, DHS, CBP, ICE, etc.

Wow, thanks for the pro-tip.
if I start eating seafood I'll have to not eat it there.

 

[Horrible]

With Maine being one of the top 5 safest states in the nation perhaps these lying scumsucking opportunist propagandist politicians' time is better spent on actual problems that exist in ME!
In other words, follow the oath you took!
