It makes me angry that in 'Merica, a business can't advertise cigarettes and yet

[Ferrets are Cool]

businesses selling WMD are advertised quite frequently on our interstates.




There is a new one not more than 5 miles from my home. So very angry.

1. Baseball, Mom and Apple Pie. Wait a minute, where's Mom?

Oh....right.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Wimmin jus' get in the way. Mom is 6ft under the corn field.

She was always yappin' 'bout not keepin' loaded guns on the coffee table an' stupid shit like that. Plus - she never had the damn dinner on the table on time. Can't find no good woman, figured maybe I can grow one. (Huh huh.)

[yonder]

29. The symbol of humanity that largely keeps things held together,

is the one they choose to drop from their "message". Sports, food and guns, why am I not surprised?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. That is sickening!

I'm still glad cancer sticks can't be advertised though.

[Sibelius Fan]

3. Fuck cigarettes. They kill a lot more Americans than guns.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. That's not the point

[TomSlick]

10. Nice NRA talking point you got there. Is it in the NRA literature?

It's classic whataboutism.

[smirkymonkey]

11. +1000

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. +1

[SYFROYH]

30. But the OP is based on whataboutism.

[texasfiddler]

4. Mom got killed at the local grocery store

[RegularJam]

5. Congresspersons have been shot at a baseball game...

And a pizza shop was shot up by conspiracy theorists.

That’s their idea of America.

[oasis]

7. Congress"person" Steve Scalise would applaud that billboard.

"Thank you sir, may I have another?".

[Hekate]

9. Hey, it even has a little Jesus-fishy in the lower right corner!

Heartwarming

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. I noticed that too. WWJS

Who would Jesus shoot?

[Hugin]

22. Those assault rifles are a must for every angler.

A regular Swiss lure they are.

[eShirl]

12. These people are sick.

[ananda]

13. The fact that that billboard is still standing..

speaks volumes about the people who live around there.

[Treefrog]

23. What? That they're law-abiding?

How would you have them take it down?

[sl8]

28. I'm pretty sure that billboard was taken down in 2014.

What makes you say that it's still standing?

Have you seen a similar one recently?

[Dial H For Hero]

14. Slide Fire went out of business three years ago. What's more, bump stocks have been illegal since

2019.

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. Yes, I know that. That's not the point of the post.

I see billboards advertising the sale of WMD all the time. A new one went up in my neighborhood yesterday.

[Dial H For Hero]

18. "WMD"? I can't recall ever seeing a billboard for such weapons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapon_of_mass_destruction

Semiautomatic rifles are not WMD's, the term is quite specific.

[uponit7771]

24. Mass kill or WMD pgrs are NOT designed for "defense"

[Dial H For Hero]

26. I didn't say that WMD's were for defense, bearing in mind that semiautomatic rifles aren't WMD's.

As for "mass kill" weapons, I've never seen the term. What are they?

[uponit7771]

27. Semi auto pgrs are mass kill weapons and force multiplier devices the general public SHOULD NOT

... have them no more than they should have grenades.

[Dial H For Hero]

34. I don't find a Baby Browning or AR-15 on par with an M67 fragmentation grenade in terms of

appropriate ownership restrictions.

[ChubbyStar]

35. Yeah sure whatever dude

[uponit7771]

37. PGR and grenades are both *DESIGNED* as kill/maim offensive force multiplier devices ...

... I would like PGRs to be mass kill weapon but its not designed to be/send explosives or poison gas.

Whatever, both devices were DESIGNED to do the same thing; kill a bunch of humans in a short time.

Neither grenade nor PGR need to be in the hands of the unregistered for use.

[Dial H For Hero]

39. "PGR"? Perhaps I'm particularly slow today, but I'm stumped by that acronym.

[uponit7771]

40. Pistol Grip Rifles mostly the SA ones vs BA

[Dial H For Hero]

43. Why does a pistol grip matter? Is a Mini-14 with such a grip deadlier than one with a more

traditional stock? They fire the same round at the same velocity with the same accuracy at the same rate of fire.

[uponit7771]

44. Cali definition ... wide swath and that's good

[Dial H For Hero]

45. Are you arguing that the logic (or lack thereof) of a particular ban is irrelevant as long as it o

results in more guns being banned?

[Ferrets are Cool]

41. Some post are nothing but trolling

Yours certainly applies.

[Dial H For Hero]

42. Pointing out the error of calling a rifle a "WMD" is trolling?

Isn’t it interesting that accusations of trolling are frequently made by those without sound arguments?



For that matter, I’m surprised I haven’t been accused of “gunsplaining” yet.

[sarisataka]

21. Details, details

It existed some time...

[milestogo]

19. Translation... if your baseball lands in my dessert I will shoot you dead -

that's Pure American

[Oneironaut]

20. Proposed fourth image: A mass shooter

They’re as American as the rest of those.

[RussBLib]

25. so "comforting" to know they are "good Christians"

after all, the fish symbol.

total perversion

[SYFROYH]

31. Doesn't bother me.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

32. Which state is this in?

Because the only reference I can find is from 2014 in Chicago.

[ChubbyStar]

36. Then you have your answer n/t

[Initech]

33. Oh when we have a gun show here, signs get plastered everywhere.

It's truly sickening.

[lame54]

38. You're right - let's advertise cigarettes

[fescuerescue]

46. It's an abuse of the 1st and 2nd amendment

This is not what the founders intended.
