chislinger Posted September 17, 2018 at 12:49 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 12:49 PM Is this some sort of lever action AR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrapyard Posted September 17, 2018 at 01:47 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 01:47 PM Is this some sort of lever action AR? Yes. You use the forward carry handle grip to cycle it. You can also use the extra rear sight on the carry handle to view the targets behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted September 17, 2018 at 04:17 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 04:17 PM This ad isn't targeted at people who know the picture is ridiculous. Those people, if any exist in his district, won't be voting for him, anyway. A more cynical point of view would consider the possibility that Madigan is actually ridiculing his target audience by demonstrating their ignorance while soliciting their votes. Another possibility is that whoever made the poster is subversively demonstrating Madigan's ignorance. How many people, including probably Madigan himself, approved the flyer, including the picture, for public circulation after reviewing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xwing Posted September 17, 2018 at 05:57 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 05:57 PM I'm sure every person involved in creating and approving this mailer is throughoughly anti-gun. They don't know nor care what an AR-15 looks like. They just wanted to find a picture of "scary gun", and this silly example works for them. Anyone swayed by it probably never saw a real AR-15 in their lives either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted September 17, 2018 at 06:06 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 06:06 PM I just love the outright lies. Since when has the NRA EVER advocated for the open carry of AR 15's on city streets??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybermgk Posted September 17, 2018 at 07:33 PM Share Posted September 17, 2018 at 07:33 PM Just destroyed a Yingling door to door campaigner this weekend. Yingling, my current rep, who never saw a Madigan initiative he didn't like, who voted for every single gun control bill proposed in the house this year. He kept saying he was out with Yingling and could have him over to discuss my concerns, Of which I agreed to, yet he never did show up. Guy tried to say Yingling had an NRA A rating in 2016. Yes, I told him because he campaigned then on lies. When he stuttered, I listed off 6 of the bills, this year, he voted yes on, and added that, there were more, but those were the only ones I could remember without looking up. "Well, I can have him come over and discuss this with you". Again, I said sure, and he never did. "But, he had an A NRA rating in 2016". I asked if he wanted me to list off those bills again, better yet, asked him if we should pull up his full record this year. I also listed off 3 Madigan bills he voted yes for. "But he voted against the Madigan Tax hike". I just laughed. He left after getting actually angry. But the anger, I could tell, was he was starting to doubt what he 'knew' about his candidate.

I have received probably half a dozen Yingling mailers this election cycle already, toss all them out in the can before I even get in the house. Last election cycle I had to literally kick Yingling's own dad (and I believe brother) off my property when he was trespassing and illegally attempting to put up his son's campaign signs on my property, he argued to the end that he had a right to put signs on my property because "no one else follows the campaign sign laws, thus he didn't have to either" I informed him he was dead wrong in that regard as I pulled out the phone to snap photos/video of him trespassing/littering while I demanded he vacate, he finally conceded and said "Oh, you are one of those people" and I replied "Yes, I'm a law-abiding citizen that obeys the laws unlike you."

2smartby1/2 Posted September 20, 2018 at 07:58 PM Share Posted September 20, 2018 at 07:58 PM If they turned that carry handle around, it would at least look a bit like an angled foregrip.....hmmmm.....they might be on to something. But there are a couple other issues they might want to look at. Since there is no riser on that optic....and they are running an old fashioned A2 front iron sight.....I guess that is the new and less improved "completely obstructed" co-witness? Also.... I see that they are running the "no safety" option to make it extra dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, it's a DE-M83A2 (or rebrand) airsoft and thus does have a grip safety button. They probably saw it advertised as a 256 in 1 tactical kit and just couldn't resist the warm and fuzzy feeling coming over them. https://www.amazon.com/256-Clone-Electric-Airsoft-Rifle/dp/B01M01OVCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
