Senator Dick Durbin (D): No self-respecting sportsman needs an "AR-47" to hunt deer.

[Cujo0920]

I'm a little hazy on my history, gents...but was the Second Amendment written because the Founding Fathers feared the deer would some day turn on us?

If you haven’t been keeping up with the gun control debate following the Orlando terrorist attack, many democratic senators are conducting a filibuster of sorts to demand banning certain types of weapons. Illinois senator, Dick Durbin, apparently couldn’t resist speaking on the topic either.

Ironically, every word that left Dick Durbin’s mouth made him look like a complete jackass. He claimed that no self-respecting sportsman in his home state of Illinois would ever use an ‘AR-47’ to hunt deer.

Senator Durbin is actually correct for two major reasons.

First of all, there’s no such thing as an ‘AR-47.’ There’s an AR-15. There’s an AK-47. But nope, no AR-47’s. So clearly nobody could ever use a rifle to hunt deer that doesn’t even exist. Sorry Dick.

I agree. Ban AR-47s. Don't forget the military AR-670 as well.

It's for the children.

Actually, using a .30 caliber to hunt deer makes more sense than a .223.

[hatidua]

I have no use for deer at all, can we ban those?

[BlasterBob]

Let's also ban politicians who do not get their facts straight. This would mean banning ALL politicians.

There is a model AR-47 rifle in existence. It's made by PSA. SideShowBob even posted a link above.

Dick Durbin is a total asshat, no doubt. And I have no doubt that he was talking out his ass when he said "AR-47". But, luckily for him, it does exist.

But if they ban the AR 670-1, how will they know how to dress or wear their hair?

[centrarchidae]

Durbin's right. It's illegal to use centerfire rifles for deer in Illinois. Because 12ga slugs are better for the environment or some such.

I still think he should go into his garage and drink the green Koolaid, and Make Illinois Great Again.

What would Dick Turban know about self-respecting sportsmen?

They believe that shotgun slugs are "safer" than a rifle bullets that travel 3, 000 fps.

[Martinjmpr]

I think the moral of the story is: Don't be a Dick. ;)

Dress regs of war. We don't need those on our streets.

Think of the children.

[BlasterBob]

Dick is a DICK. That's how he is thought of here in Illinois. Amazing that he is still in office. Must be a hell of a lot of "phantom" voters out here.

This is like those guys in 2013 that showed up as 'Hunters that were for the 2013 bills'. The Democrats were having a hay-day about limiting ammo to 5 rounds per mag and only really needed 1 or 2 rounds. Then the R asked 'How long their group had been established', it was in months, then ' How many members?', it was something like 68. They want to make it sound like guns are only for hunting because the majority of their consituancy are urban and only recognize two legitimate reasons (War is not one of them) for guns to exist, Hunting and Cops.

You don't get to hunt deer if you are on a watch list, though. Sorry.

How is it acceptable to strip someone of their 2A rights without due process by being on a 'no fly list', but none of the other rights protected by the Bill of Rights can be infringed under the same standard?

It isn't acceptable to many of us.

I guess we will see just how many of us find it unacceptable and how well our representatives represent us.
