Interesting Ad

Springfield Armory is going to roll out something new this September. They've got a countdown clock and everything at this link here. We're imagining it's a new self defense pistol based on the advertising - take a look at this screen shot (click for larger version):


That skyline isn't exactly familiar.....except for that tall black building, dead center of the ad. Whatever they're selling, their message seems pretty clear, and we don't blame them for a second using certain imagery to sell their product.

Thankfully it didn't pass. Yet.

LOL!

No mistaking the skyline of the most breathtakingly
corrupt, evil, hateful, murderous, nasty, vengeful,
vicious, vile and violent - limp-wristed/wet-eyed
white guilt liberal democrat/sjw/aclu/#blm run,
totally given over to Dude Inc. large urban
center in America...

That would be Chicago, children...

Springfield Armory has positioned itself well for
a comparatively Johnny-Come-Lately firearms company.

Hope they sell millions of them...

Been carrying the "War Hammer" aka Springfield XD 45 Tactical
since striker-fired pistols have been approved.

Very soft-shooting (comparatively) with the .45 Super
equivalent +P loads the cognoscenti carry that are quite
naturally very accurate and hard-hitting.

Good things happen when you have nearly 600 foot pounds
of muzzle energy and tough, bonded jhps at your disposal.

The only thing more formidable is the inherited S&W Model 27
that rode with during the Bulls Riots and NYE in the "jets."

A grim, upright and unflinching Law Enforcement Gunman of yore said:

"It's YOUR hide...
How much do you value it?"

Well?

Chicago's armed, forcible felon class of folkses and peoples,
aka Dude Inc., is merciless, remorseless, tenacious,
vengeful, vicious and violent in the extreme.

Any attempt to classify them as anything but,
is an exercise in futility and folly that is
sure to be fatal to YOU.

In addition to being fully culturally, financially,
politically and socially weaponized against the law
abiding rest-of-everybody-else.

Heh...

"The Police are what's wrong with Chicago...
Once we finally fix THEM, everything else
will fall into place."

"If you guys weren't so harsh, insular, mean, unfriendly and
self-protective, maybe we would actually support you..."

Yeah... Thanks...

Going up against Dude Inc. without relief figures
bigly in your complaint.

Solve Dude first and maybe you can cajole
The Policeman into not having his guard up
so high and tight.

Or not.

Nothing but half a lifetime of seeing Dude up close
and too personal from behind the wheel of a CPD Blue & White.

Or maybe an "urban" inspired handgun.

It’s a Jungle Out There, the clever theme song used on the San Fran PD tv show Monk from 2002-2009.
Boy have the Dems changed and put their skid mark that famous Rice-a-Roni town.
Germaphobe Det. Adrian Monk would really have a hard time tip toeing around the biological dropping and tent camps today.

If Springfield were using SF in the ad pic, they’d include the Golden Gate.
So definitely the ad is Chicago, perfect for referencing something ominous.

Take another look, are they saying it’s a jungle IN there?
Showing the downtown from the southwest to the northeast.
It’s more a jungle OUT there from a the reverse view, but not by much, I could be wrong now...but I don’t think so.

Springfield won’t be offering anything new in the way of personal protection devices, save that stuff for Shot Show in 146 days.
Maybe they're planning a Springfield Armory Training, Product Demonstration Range and company store to open, outside of Cook County of course.

Liberal tries to buy a gun in Walmart because it is SO EASY to guy a gun lawfully without any procedure to follow. Just ask and the store gifts you dozens of AR-15s, right?

Liberal then learns Obama might have lied about the Chicago yoofs just walking to Indiana and buying all the guns they desire from the loophole ridden gunshows and Walmart stores present in that state.

I tried to buy a gun at Walmart twice, and roadblocks left me empty-handed both times

Here is the back story:

Did RRA and SA just align themselves with the wrong group and then terminate the alliance when they were caught getting special treatment? Or did they just terminate the alliance BECAUSE they were caught playing well with Madigan? You decide...

The Illinois gun licensing scheme is onerous, substantially impacts the right to keep and bear arms,unduly burdens businesses, and is unconstitutional. The courts ought to strict it down in its entirety. Oh, and by the way, like the FOID card hoax, this piece of legislation will not result in a decrease in murder, armed violence, home invasions, armed carjackings, armed robbery, and other crimes of violence. Thug does not care about FOID's, Illinois gun dealer licensing, or down right bans.
