    "Page not found" soooooo, I'm guessing... No?
    I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
    "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
    " prepared for what" he asked?
    "more stuff than you are"
    God Bless our Troups!

          I don't see anything wrong with the ad and voted accordingly.
          Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

              It's a bit confusing or confused. Apple pie and baseball are not "rights" 2A is a right. Perhaps equating the AR to a library card (speech) or a church building (religion) or better yet a voting ballot, brings the message home more so than passing enjoyments.

              Do we pay for our library card permit?
              Are there restrictions on religions?
              Can some state prohibit your voting?
              Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all.

                    Of course it is. Insensitive only to anti's. Screw them. It's an ad...freedom of speech.

                      Ads for Obamacare and food stamps are offensive to me. Also billboards for ambulance chasing lawyers. But I don't try to get them banned.

                        +1. Those ads VIOLATE your 1st A rights by making you pay (through involuntary taxation) to advocate for something you're actually against. By contrast, there's nothing wrong or offensive with the billboard. It's simply saying that guns are as American as baseball and apple pie. The fact that others may disagree with someone's statement (or in this case, simply wish it were not true when they know it is) does not make it offensive or insensitive.

                        Note the false alternatives presented by the poll:The billboard is either 1) offensive and should be banned or 2) offensive but unfortunately protected by the First Amendment. No option 3) not offensive at all or 4) I agree with the billboard.

                          Are you saying that it's liberal biased?
