'Pure American' rifle billboard assaulted

Anti-gun group opposes ad equating rifles with apple pie, baseball

They're not a 'gun control' group or anti-gun violence, they're anti-gun.  That's the bottom line. 

A selection of the comments from anti-gun supporters:

It advocates violence. End of story.
 Brick Barns but isn't strange that they always manage to obtain a real cache of weaponry? Here's the thing about guns...they are usually fatal when used. They are made ONLY to kill. The fact that we in America glorify them is the main reason killers use them. Think about it. 
 Truly sad day when a semi-automatic rifle is elevated to an American icon. This country is BETTER than that and has much prouder icons than a killing machine. Just saw the news that 4 more were shot in Logan Square--perhaps the ad is generating business. 
 Wow, the gun-humpers are scared now. Needing billboards to attract more whack-jobs.
 You know why men like guns???   Tiny penises...
 Disgusting. Americans have such a bad reputation abroad due to crap like this. I sure wouldn't be putting up a billboard about it either! Of course it advertises a Texan product...we know how they like guns there.
 Why is it whenever there's a mass shooting, gun fetishists somehow end up the biggest "victims"?

Insults, bigotry, obsession w/ genitalia, emotional diatribes, ignorance.  Hate, hate and more hate.  That's the ant-gun way.

OGRE Fluff

It was suggested I frame some of the sheets for posterity.  I liked that idea. 

Front and back of both the sheet and insert.  The bottom is the thank you card from Steve Jackson for supporting the Kickstarter campaign. This will be going on the wall in my den.

Also from 'Litko Game Accessories, I picked up a couple of 'Nuclear Explosions' based off a suggestion from the SJ forums.

Very nice plastic pieces.  Shipping took near 2 weeks though as they apparently manufacture on demand.

Understatement

Anti-gun Il State Rep Laura Fine on Concealed Carry:

Fine, who was against the legislation, said her personal stance is no longer relevant

But she's still going to hold 'informational meetings' loaded w/ people who support her 'personal stance' in order to restrict firearms in any way they can.

Complete w/ some zip files containing 'court statements'.  '200 minimum wage amounts'?  WTF is that?  Looking around there actually is a 'rid.uscourts.gov' for Rhode Island. ISP location is St. Jerome, Quebec, Canada. 174.92.238.29 notice_support.5@riduscourt.com

I'm sure it's legit. 

Paris Gun Show AAR

Mixed bag this weekend.  Unfortunately, mitigating circumstances caused two of the bigger firearm vendors to pull out so we had to stretch out a bit, one thing this organizer is really good about.  Saturday had a good crowd w/ about 200 people coming through.  Not many guns were sold but accessories and smaller items moved, the knife/deer antler stuff guy did really well.

Sunday was corpse-like resulting in the usual political discussions, stories and getting some reading done. Next show is in Arcola, IL 22/23rd.
