Maine Tourists Outraged About a Man’s ‘Black Rifles Matter’ Sign

Maine resident Linc Sample is getting some heat from tourists over this sign:

Sample addressed potential concerns by Black Lives Matter protesters by telling NCEN, “They’re being targeted because of their appearance. Fair enough. So’s my rifle.”

“If anything,”, he added, “they ought to be flattered that I used the phrase.”

The director of the local chamber of commerce says he’s heard complaints from tourists––including people who said they were gonna cut their vacations short.
