Riverhead Town Board mulls ban on gun stores downtown

“I have nothing against gun shop owners, but they don’t belong in that area,” said Councilman Tim Hubbard, adding that there are other places in town such businesses could be located and that having them downtown runs counter to the town’s goals of promoting the area as a destination for families and tourists.

Why? Are tourists being assaulted in and around gun stores and gunsmith shops?

Good! Now the hate crime squad can go after the gun haters!

 

[Apeman]

I like to look in gun shops when I'm visiting new places to see what they have. Guess I'm not the kind of tourist they want

Not the greatest area anyway. Lots of illegals.

They're (town board) full of $hit. bunch of gun haters. Meanwhile the Riverhead prison is just down the road. What is that a tourist attraction? morons

Not like it matters. All the gun shops are likely to be forced out of business with the new requirements anyway.
