A gunshop in Merrimack, NH. I didn't think we had to deal with crap like this in New England:

Note, this is about 150 miles from me.

This is the gun shop in my parents town. Don’t fucking tell me this isn’t a call to violence. Don’t tell me gun culture isn’t sick to its very core. #NoRA #MerrimackNH #NHPolitics

3. Alexey Obukhov:

Nov 2021
While not officially commenting on a suspicious death investigation of three people on McAfee Farm Road in Bedford yesterday, a past domestic violence arrest and missing BMW have led police to issue alerts for Alexey Obukhov as a person of interest in the case.

The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office issued an alert at just before 8 p.m., saying it was investigating three suspicious deaths at the home but releasing no other information. The names of the deceased are expected to be released after the next of kin has been found. Investigators and police have been tight lipped about the case.

Obukhov was previously arrested for domestic violence assault in August 2013 although the charges were dismissed after his wife invoked her 5th Amendment right not to testify in the case. In October 2013, Obukov applied for a conceal carry permit that was later denied by the Bedford Chief of Police. He sued and the New Hampshire Supreme Court reversed the decision in November 2014.

According to his online records, Obukhov is the owner of a company called New Vector Corporation and also 619 DW Guns and Ammo in Merrimack. The store in Merrimack made national headlines in 2013 after hanging posters of President Barack Obama with Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and calling him "firearm salesman of the year."

It's time Democrats stop catering to these silly ass cowards too scared to be without a gun. They won't vote Dem anyway, so yeah say it loud and proud, "We want to take your military style guns away."

I suppose it's the lack of state taxes that attracts the right-wingers. *sigh*

That's really sickening. It is an obvious call to violence. Sorry you have to put up with that in your neck of the woods. We don't see things like that down here in Boston. I don't think people would put up with it.

Nobody lives there and the ones that do are pretty backwoods. A majority of the population is on the southern coast.

I'm not really familiar with the quotes attributed to Biden or Feinstein.

These posters don't even seem to rise to "Don't Tread on Me" or "Come and take them".

They aren't even targets.

....(my little joke!!)

In those 34 years I never saw anything like that up here. There are pockets of right wingers (a couple are in-laws) but nothing like this.

Here's a moron about a half-mile from us, this is about the worst I've seen up until now. These are still there more than a year after the election:

Over as far as New York state, we know New Hampshire (Live Free or Die) is home to plenty of nasty characters.

Here is a link to the latest that SPLC has on each state. I hope the link takes you right to New Hampshire, if I did this right.

(much to my dismay) by allowing them in national parks, while Trump restricted them by not allowing their stupid bump stocks. Fauci should sue the asshole for using his likeness in such a vile manner. Politicians are public figures, but doctors aren't.

Turned a substantial percentage of gun owners into fear-based, weaponized assholes.

It took about 10 years.

…ends up being one of the non-threatening looking, standard-looking deer rifles, that we say are the ok ones, should we demand they sell low-powered deer rifles? Demand that it won’t be able to kill anyone, thereby ensuring a long painful death for the deer on the off chance a person accidentally gets shot with it?

Maybe we could just ban hunting rifles? People can get their meat from the store where no animals are harmed, as they do meat donations for us so we don’t have to hunt them.
