[Alabama] District 2 House Candidate Rich Hobson Giving Away AR-15 Rifle
Source: waka.com
Republican candidate Rich Hobson is not only running for Congress. Hes giving away an AR-15 rifle.It has recently made headlines as the weapon of choice in mass shootings across the country.
But District 2 candidate Rich Hobson says hes giving one away.
A weapon that many people own across America, that I own too, myself. And there is nothing wrong with this weapon, said Hobson.
In fact, Hobson says he believes everyone should have one.Well, Ill tell you what, its for defense. Its for defense of our home. I mean its our Second Amendment right. I see nothing wrong with that. And I believe every family should have one if they so desire, and they should, of course, go through proper training. Our rights are being trampled upon, said Hobson.
We asked people in Montgomery what they think about the giveaway. There were mixed reactions. Well, I feel like an AR 15 as a giveaway due to an election is excessive. Thats not the way to get votes. But at the same time I am very pro-gun and guns dont kill people, its people that kill people, said Brittany Peterson.

Everyone who actually watched this movie in 1974 thought it was the craziest thing they'd ever seen. But now I believe they were warning us.

(16,104 posts)Going up against incumbent R Martha Roby, infamous Benghazi nut, and Bobby Bright (former Democrat who held the office before Roby, now R).
They are all running campaign ads in 100% support of the Dotard's agenda - walls, tax cuts, budget cuts, the whole nine yards.
To be honest, the Democratic opposition is getting out funded at least $10 to $1. To be honest, it isn't looking good.
This is another example of the conundrum Alabama Democrats face in open primary season. Crossover and pick the R we might be able to beat - knock off the incumbent - or help elect the most bat shit crazy R's we can find, and hasten their demise?
Or stand on the sidelines (voting for D's) voiceless as the R's pick the one they want, the one they are going to get?

Maybe they're after different "constituents?"

I like your idea: get a wienner (and a beer)
