Anti-Gun Newspaper?

[RMBLON]

Is this the norm thru out Louisiana and USA? I tried to put an ad in The Advocate (here in BR), for my AR-15 and was told "We do not list Assault Rifles" Well I argued with her for a bit and asked about the papers liberal views on guns, and she said they do not have any stance on guns,and I could sell any other firearm accept assault rifles. Anyway, if any one is interested my AR-15 is in the classified section here on our forum.

That's very interesting and definitely deserves some emails to the paper.

You should just reword your description of your weapon a little and try again.

 

[spanky]

you should have told her it's an ArmaliteRifle, not an AssaultRifle.

Should have asked her why they take ads from gun stores that sell them

We, as consumers, have the power to shut down these newspapers. Just cancel your subscription, enmasse. I did.

I've seen AR's in other cities newspapers. You'd think the way these media co's are crying broke right now they'd take what they could get.

Bummer. All mine were lost in the boating accident are at the bottom of the river.

Isn't an assault rifle full auto? An AR15 is not an assault rifle, it's a semi-auto rifle.

 

[dantheman]

The media and the politicians have forever more labeled the AR-15 as an assault rifle .
That will never change .

Well I read my version at Wiki. It said it was a misnomer.

I surprised my rifles last night and they assaulted me, until I got the light on and they realized it was me. Got one hell of a black eye today!
