“A billboard touting assault rifles as ‘Pure American’ as baseball and apple pie is stirring up controversy,” myfoxphilly.com reports. “Thousands of cars pass by the billboard in Chicago every day alongside a giant rifle is the American flag and Second Amendment in one corner and the Christian fish and the Statue of Liberty in the other. Slide Fire, the company behind the advertisement, is promoting how its product can effectively modify an assault rifle from semi to fully automatic.” Huh? It looks to me like Slide Fire‘s promoting modern black home defense sporting rifles as Americana. And, as the official letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [and Really Big Fires] acknowledges, the Slide Fire device is designed for handicapped shooters. Seems like the mainstream media has a new target. So to speak.
This billboard actually pisses me off. In the sense that it is a constant reminder that I live in Cook County and can’t own an AR.
We have a gun store/aquarium shop here. Virginia is weird
I like the gun store / gas station in Canada.
i like the ATF in Colorado. no, not the group of thugs but the convenience store.
But do they sell ARs? I can buy a nemo fish AND an AR if I wanted to there. Now if they sold car parts and beer served by near naked women, I’d never have to go anywhere else
In Ukiah, California I saw a few wierd gun store combos. My favorite was “Car Stereos, Car Alarms, Guns.”
Across the street from my hotel there was a liquor store/gun store. It’s not the ENTIRE state that’s loopy.
In Arizona we have drive-thru gun/liqueur stores. 🙂
I was just about to mention the drive through gun store in Flagstaff, AZ, but Mark beat me to it.
that’s cool, I’m glad Aquaman found a good outlet for his abilities in retirement.
Gun store/Laundromat/Sandwich Shop would be nice. One-stop shopping!
I would go broke waiting on my laundry
In Florida we have a gun and spa store
Here in Michigan we have a Gun/ Liquor& Tobacco/ Pizza place.
Its the real ATF+ pizza!
Sure you can. You just can’t (legally) keep it there. But you could keep a Mini-14 (no flash hider)…
No mas. Specifically banned now.
Who says you can’t own a ar in Cook? Go to aany of the ranges in Cook and I bet you’ll see many many AR-15s.
You will. And those ranges tend to be in “home rule” towns that excluded themselves from Cook County’s ban ala Hoffman Estates (home to Cabelas.). Frankly, it doesn’t appear to be enforced – until it is. I have seen guys shoot banned firearms right next to off-duty cops at the range. Get a domestic call or something similar, however, I wouldn’t bank on getting any leeway.
This was definitely a “meh” article until I read down a few lines. PA gun owners love ARs and anything else that goes bang so if some prick at channel 29 doesn’t like it then screw him. UNTIL, that is, I read that this billboard is in Chicago. Now THAT is funny. I hope tiny dancer has to drive by it in his armored limo every day. What a perfect slap in the face to every Chicago elite.
You should come down hear to Southern Illinois, my friend. Then you’ll have the problem of figuring out *which* AR. Or perhaps going AK. Maybe getting the best of both with a Sig 556? Grrr…. decisions…
Well, not a work of art its better than all the Drink Michigan Beer billboards I see every day.
I like Bells.
Personally I like Crankers Brewery Honey Kolsch, but Moutain town station raspberry wheat is pretty high up there on the list.
The Belgian-style Trappist fruit beers are too over-the-top for me. Beer should taste like beer, not like a milkshake.
Unless it’s a chocolate stout. Which is one of the most wonderful treats in the world.
Then you would like Crankers Crankenstein, which is my favorite fall beer.
Been to Bells many times. Good beer. Nothing like Oberon on a hot day.
I like it.
Eh we had many deist founders.
Which ones were those? Please supply evidence.
Relevance would be better than evidence in this case.
Christianity is not american not that I care but that’s the falsehood the gun is fine
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deists
This piece is good for some background on the subject.
http://www.history.org/foundation/journal/spring09/deism.cfm
It is sad someone would ask for evidence of something that should be basic common knowledge about the founders of our country.
Perhaps a Christian organization- or one that endorses Christianity- helped pay for the sign.
And you’re not talking about the non-american roots of baseball, either, so maybe let’s concentrate on the scary black gun.
Why doncha look it up? I dare you!
Actually, you’ll find many were, in fact, deists. But a majority? I’m not sure.
I can hardly wait until the MDA cult releases a statement.
Lol. The anti gunners just got trolled.
Slide fire should prepare themselves for the huge wave of “tolerance” they are about to receive from the allegedly peaceful libs.
10 bucks says they’ve already received death threats from “non-violent” anti gunners. Any takers?
They won’t be death threats. They will be messages of people wishing death on the owners and their families.
Close, but not quite the same.
Ah, you are correct.
I forgot that’s the usual sweet nothings they whisper are things to that effect. Stay classy left-tards.
Those are just death threats as edited by lawyers.
No rear sight? Talk about spray and pray. But aside from that not bad.
No point in actually trying to aim when using Slide Fire 🙂
Yep, trolling, but every movement needs a bit of help in the morale department once in awhile.
What kind of mutilated abortion of the English language is that second sentence?
‘merican journalism at its finest!
Not one of his best, I’ll agree.
And MAIG respects and supports the disabled. Am I right?
Unless said disabled person owns a firearm.
Then they is the devil. Got da devil right in ’em. Mmm hmm.
Them and Vicky Vallencourt.
Or unless the disabled needs to defend themselves. Pretty sure MAIG wouldn’t go to bat for them, either. Even disabled moms don’t qualify. Unless they are stupid wealthy and also donors to the right political party.
Vicky Valencourt is hot.
the Slide Fire device is designed for handicapped shooters
Oh please. Don’t be coy.
The Slide Fire is for handicapped people in the way that all of the bongs sold in head shops are for “tobacco use only”.
Just 6 words. Without guns we’d all be British.
“Slide Fire device is designed for handicapped shooters”
Robert? Ten lashes of the whip.
Not being allowed or able to afford a full auto gun IS a handicap in my book!
If you follow the link, you will see ATF’s letter confirming that the Slide Fire is not a device to making a semi-automatic weapon a fully-automatic weapon. It is apparently designed for people with limited hand function, and allows them to fire the weapon with the less-fine motor skills of pushing with their arms instead of using a single finger.
There’s a billboard, not one block from my house, for some TV company that says
“Christmas, Hannakah, Kwanzaa, we all worship TV”
mentioning of politically correct Kwanzaa aside, how is it ok in anyones mind to say that we “worship” TV as if it were as important as religion? I’m not even religious and this pisses me off.
ugh… liberals…
Love them shoving it in the faces of the elitist’s in Chicago , they are so full of themselves that they really think that the rest of the US will go along with their national gun control , a storm is coming and it will be devestating to the government , and their lackies , they just don’t understand that they almost already caused a 2nd Revolution last year around April , when the gun control bill if it would have passed would have been the trigger and started insurrection on a nation wide scale , remember folks there are over 1 million gun owners out there and a lot of them are so the mind that their guns will have to be taken by force , and there will not be registration , what the Feds will get is a backlash that will consume them .Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.
Over 1 million? That’s an understatement. Now as to a civil war? I doubt it.
funny that the last 5 major shootings in the US were by registered Democrats …go figure guess r. maddow and chris mathews along with that retard from britain piers morgan missed that the spineless bastards
Question is, does Rahm get to see this billboard often? I am sure the people of chicago are tired of cleaning up his piss stains off the limo’s upholstery.
I think there are way more than 1M gun owners in the US. More like 60M on the low end of the estimates.
There are probably 1.5M (or more) gun owners that are, or would become, three-percenters.
This sign is awesome. Let the anti’s fret and sweat, I say, every time they drive past.
amen that semi auto is as much a part of the inception as the apple pie and probably beat baseball to the states actually anti commies can kiss my ass i love it
boys don’t forget to check out fostech for the “bump ski” solid piece of equipment that makes the ak sing a little louder and of course faster ah….capitalism at its best fellas the more restrictions the more our ingenuity rises
