Molly B. Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:10 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:10 PM The Democratic Party of Illinois sent out this anti-gun mailing on behalf of Carol Sente in Representative District 59 the Rep. who replaced anti-gun, anti-rights Kathrine Ryg. This is a close race and they're trying to use the right to protect ourselves to bash Sugre who is a pro-carry candidate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templar223 Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:20 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:20 PM F'in scumbags. Wonder how long it took for them to find a long-slide Glock? Or more likely it's just photoshopped. I see an editorial in next month's GunNews. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see an editorial in next month's GunNews. John I have two Glocks and neither have that style trigger. Perhaps the long slide versions have different triggers or this was a custom job.

mikew Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:58 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 01:58 PM Glocks don't have little pan-head screws in the side of the slide. Airsoft... or BB gun. hmm, it's a Daisy 1700.auctionarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyre400 Posted October 22, 2010 at 02:04 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 02:04 PM .357.. cool. He'd have my vote. I was pointing out to the Quinn page, where he was talking about how Brady wants to kill everyone's dog, and I was suggesting that he should pass out dog food. Not to feed people's pets, but to feed his constituents when he finally finishes off IL's economy - should he win. One could almost say that the dems have become pretty frantic - one might even say desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too simple for them to understand. And it is way too "common sense". My favorite line from the Brady bunch. "The gun laws in other parts of the country might not work here." Really genious? Doesn't look like our gun laws are working either. THAT'S BECAUSE THE ONLY PEOPLE GUN LAWS AFFECT ARE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AND IT AFFECTS THEM IN AN ADVERSE WAY YOU MORONS!

Nothing like reinforcing the stereotype there, guys. And the BB gun... Nice catch, Mike. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolt243 Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:17 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:17 PM Here's a map of the 59th if you don't know where it is. Looks like North Suburbs to this prairie raised boy. If you live here or know somebody that lives here, get the word out. This is one of those districts that gets us one vote closer to RTC!! And, two votes closer to an ® controlled House (one fewer D, one more ®!!). We CAN make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolt243 Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:26 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:26 PM Another map, with zip codes and a link to Dan's website. Dan Sugrue Make a donation, walk a block or two, get this guy a vote!! OK, I just popped for $25. I can't get there to physically help, but maybe a few bucks will help out. All you downstaters that have complained about Madigan in the House, here's your chance to take a shot at him. Send a buck or two, get on the site and volunteer to make some calls, this is a pro-gun, pro-carry candidate in the north suburbs of CHICAGO!! Get him elected!

John It would be nice to figure out a way to embarrass her, publicizing the fact that her "scary gun" is a toy BB gun. Sort of like "The REST of the story"..... They HAD to cut off the bottom of the toy's handle in the picture, because it would have shown the CO2 cylinder piercing knob. Talk about "the gang who couldn't shoot straight"................ oh, and yeah - donation sent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markthesignguy Posted October 22, 2010 at 09:16 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 09:16 PM Give each and every precinct walker a copy of the hit ad, and also a copy of the BB gun ad, and ask those that they talk to if they have seen the "scary gun" ad, then show them the BB gun picture and give them a link so they can see for themselves... Then ask if they want to send someone who can't even get something as simple as that correct, to straighten out the financial mess the state is in....

BMartin542 Posted October 22, 2010 at 09:22 PM Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 09:22 PM Here is a copy of the e-mail I just sent: Today I had the unfortunate opportunity to view your anti-firearm flyer put out against Dan Sugrue. Frankly, it is an insult to the intelligence of any voter within your district. The "evil" gun you decry in the picture is actually a BB gun. But facts like that don't matter to a zealout like yourself. I suppose it is possible that you are simply so ignorant on the issue that you did not know the difference, though I believe you or a campaign staffer probably believed that it looked scarier than a real firearm. Furthermore, you assert that Sugrue would be a vote in favory of Right to Carry in Illinois. That would be the same right that has been recognized by 48 states and most recently by the Supreme Court of the United States in both the Heller and MacDonald decisions. Again, facts like that just don't matter to you I suppose. Finally you purport that we need "common sense" gun laws. I suppose you believe that criminals will suddenly change their wicked ways and follow the next gun law that we pass. The fact that criminals don't follow EXISTING gun laws is another fact that simply does not matter to you. If you really want a common sense gun law, let me suggest one that has been on the books for over 200 years. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State; the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Thank you for delineating the clear difference between Dan Sugrue and yourself. I have sent a donation to his campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the polling has them about even. I'd say the anti gunners feel threatened enough to spend some money in the race. Our "guest-mystery" commenter mentions that race in this thread.
