A large lawn sign that reads "Black Rifles Matter" in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, has sparked outrage.

The sign's creator, Linc Sample, said the sign is about gun rights, not race. Sample painted it and placed it on private property after an ad in the local paper supported an assault-style weapons ban.

"We have received a few complaints from visitors to the region," said Boothbay Region Chamber of Commerce Director Rick Prose.

"Some of these people have cut their vacation short and left early," said Town Manager Thomas Woodin.

Some of the people vacationing there said they had to leave because they were snowflakes and had to go find a safespace.
