"Three Maine legislators – Democrats Deane Rykerson, Lydia Blume and Patty Hymanson – joined colleagues from New Hampshire and members of the community this week to plead with the Kittery store to follow the lead of Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods in ending the sale of the controversial weapons.

In a joint letter to the store published by the Portsmouth (N.H.) Herald , the three legislators and others called themselves regular customers who appreciate its quality and friendly employees.

They said it has always been a good business that values its customers and community, so “we naturally assumed” it would “take meaningful action” to requests that it stop selling assault-style weapons and would restrict sales to those 21 or older.

Instead, the lawmakers said, the store proved unresponsive. It has yet to answer the letter.

Some of those pressing the store for a policy change mentioned a possible boycott until it agrees."

Bullies. They are law makers. If they don't like it get the law changed instead of threatening businesses.

All three of these people are state REPS, their ONLY job is to represent their constituents, period. If a majority of their constituents ask them to "change the laws", it is kosher....if they take it on themselves to do it because THEY want a change not backed up by the people that put them in office, they should be removed immediately.

Most of southern Maine voted to restrict black guns so I'd say they probably are doing their jobs. I do agree they should be removed immediately for using their position to try and strong arm local business though.
