Today I see in ODL magazine an advertisement by LCW ar15
It features a full page ad for a .223 ar15, but this rifle also
features a modular attached arrow rifle under the forearm and you can
order it in the "blood splattered" paint scheme shown....
Stuff like this has to hurt our image.

    Who gives a good G-D what paint scheme is on it?

    For me, I am not concerned in the least about what anyone would think about a 'blood-spatter' paint job on an AR, or on any other firearm, ball bat, knife handle or brick.

    The only 'image' I am concerned with, is the image the government needs to have of angry free-Americans, where the gov't fears to further encroach upon individual liberty.

    Lets see.

    We have the Second Amendment and 'Shall Not Be Infringed'.

    Then we have Jaegermisters 'image'. Looks a bit warped, to me.....

    In a world of "priveleges",
    "image" is everything.

    i.e. Ron Paul.

    Gotta worry about blood spatter paint schemed and such?

    Style over substance. PC'ness.

    Bullsnot.

    What 'image'?

    Oh; you mean the 'sanitized' image; 'sportsmen', 'hunters' and 'target shooting', right?

    No thanks.

    I'll stand with the hard-hearted, hard-nosed bunch that has no tolerance for tyranny.

    You have to think outside of just yourself. As for myself the paint scheme has no influence on the performance of the rifle. The arrow apparatus represents a expensive and useless add on. It is the entire image it infers to others than is important. And yes it is important to look the part of the "clean sportsman/competitive shooter/gun collector whatever". Not for yourself now but for someone yet unborn whose gun ownership will hang on the balance beam of the vote. We as individuals do not make laws it is we as a collective group that make laws. Come time to vote it just ain't you or us, its' them too.
    Last I have to say on it, goin to shave and clean up.

    While my activities with weapons encompass some of those 'labels', my PRIMARY purpose for owning weapons is PRECISELY the same as that of the Founders...RESISTING TYRANNY !!
    Yours...and those of the NRA/trfoxes and the rest of the anti-gunners...is recreation.

    I speak American. You speak compromise and defeatism.

    Gun ownership hangs on the balance beam of the SECOND AMENDMENT....and the courage and willingness of the American to defend it with his life if necessary.

    You go right ahead voting for the obamacains of this country. Soon enough...after they finalize their agenda..you will discover to your regret what the '3%' is all about.

    YOU, individually, decide to trot down to the polling booths and vote obamacain...two collectivist pieces of garbage. YOU, as an individual, are responsible for putting into office those socialist/fascist scumbags...and it is YOU...as an individual..responsible for 20,000++++ gun laws in this country.

    I retract this statement ONLY if you have not voted republican OR democrat in your lifetime...

    You forgot to mention the slapping on of perfume, right after the shave.

    The unborn need to know that the 2nd Amendment exists so that they are guarenteed the natural right of owning weapons with which they can preserve the liberty. 'Cleaning up' the 2nd Amendment for popular consumption destroys it.

    One can look however ones wishes, but the fact of the matter is that the 2nd Amendment is an implied threat of violence against individuals that make and enforce laws that are counter to the freedom and liberty of individual Americans. We need more people, not fewer to know this so as to ensure that implementation is not necessary.

    EDIT:

    Perhaps this AR is more to your liking?[:)]

    Damn well right..we are ALL guilty.

    The difference between the evil and the righteous ?

    The evil revel in their scurrilous behaviour, and insist upon continuing...the righteous determine that they WILL NOT REPEAT THOSE ACTS....

    Forgive us, Lord, for we knew not what we were doing...voting for EVIL all these years.

    Today...WE KNOW BETTER !!!

    Excellent position!

    You may really benefit from reading this thread that is intrinsically based in your perspective, "People kill people, not guns".

    I can see there has been a few reads on the thread,

    http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=434277

    and am hoping that this deeply common sense approach which is vital to the protection of all rights is understood and accepted as a tangible direction having method for gun owners to act in political/lawful fashion and compel proper performance instead of extreme violence, . . . considering how volatile the imposition of tyranny can be; period.

    This is a big thing for humanity. We take a few small steps, and the BS starts to recede. Rights and freedoms protected. True security visible in all areas.

    We have to get past the divisions intentionally created. Guns and the fact they are a tool for survival is quite universally recognized. Common ground that must be traversed.

    There is no room for "compromise" on thie issue. NONE

    Said it before, EVEN IF THERE WERE NO GUNS, Government would want to ban your Bows and Arrows, or your Sword, Or your baseball bat with a nail pounded through the end.

    Not willing to compromise.

    I perceive that every weapon that I have or obtain in the future is with the idea of keeping food on the table.

    I even went hunting once ...... but I forget what year that was.
