Maine and NH Legislators Pressure Gun Store to Stop Selling Rifles
Three Democrat Maine legislators are using their position to demand the biggest gun store in Maine, stop selling rifles the lawmakers disapprove of. Kittery Trading Post has been a successful business since 1938. From nh1.com:
The Democratic lawmakers wrote a letter to Kittery Trading Post, asking the store to restrict gun sales and to discontinue sales of what the lawmakers said are assault-style rifles. The letter was written by Deane Rykerson, Lydia Blume, and Patty Hymanson -- who represent York and Kittery -- alongside others from Maine and New Hampshire.
"Your store to us has been a symbol of a good business that is involved in the community and the area in which it does business," said the lawmakers in the letter.
The legislators cite the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, as one reason for the request, and say boycotts and protests are planned if the store does not respond to their letter.
Using legislative positions to force actions that could not be accomplished within the political system is an abuse of political power. The legislators have far more power than ordinary people. They are threaten boycotts and protests if their demands are not met. Ordinary people can boycott and protest within legal limits. Adding the power of legislators to the efforts, aimed a at singular local business, becomes an abuse of power.

I smell a Supreme Court case. You can't deny a business from selling a legal item, especially a Constitutionally-protected one, just because you don;t want to buy one for yourself, even if you pass a law regarding it.

Stuff like this deserves to be trolled. Absolutely take them to court for whatever you can, but abuse the crap out of them the whole way. They have no business acting like that with a private business, especially the ones from out of state.
Post that all over social media, hang posters of them in the store, send them free ammo on their birthday, find their neighbors and offer them a free jacket if they let their dogs poop on their yard, or anything. This kind of behavior needs to be treated in kind.Sic semper tyrannis
