I've never seen an orange bore before, nor such a sharp front sight, or a round leaving the muzzle without a cloud of expanding propellant gases... Maybe it's not a firearm at all, but a fancy blow-gun? ;-)

As the guy said - so many things wrong with this you just know these people know nothing about firearms. There is no reason to believe anything they say on the subject when they have demonstrated such a complete lack of knowledge on the topic.

Thats quite correct. They’re completely ignorant of their ‘enemy’. Thats good intel in my book.

To be fair, I sat in a CC class once and observed an NRA poster on the wall that made the same error.

Idiots.

Don’t point it out, or you’ll be accused of deflecting the discussion with minutia.

This is why there can be no rational discussion about ‘assault weapons’ being no different than a 1950’s hunting rifle. These people refuse to actually learn anything about firearms...because they already know they’re right.

I used to think that the anti-second amendment leaders were extremely smart, machiavellian elitists who wanted us disarmed for nefarious purposes.

But after reading of Bloombergs efforts, and “I will walk into heaven” smugness, I have come to another conclusion:

They are extremely smart but factually ignorant machiavellian elitists who want us disarmed for nefarious purposes.

Pointless since inner city hoodies can’t read.

No, its one of those rocket rounds that shoots into space. That ‘case’ is actually a fuel tank and it gets ejected once the bullet leaves the atmosphere.

Oh the heck with it, I can’t even make up an ironic story about something this stupid.

OK....

Just for kicks, lets say the picture showed a bullet coming out of the barrel instead of a loaded cartridge. Then the picture would have its proper art and message. The message is "Who is faster than a speeding bullet? Nobody."

UUugghh... ok ...... and....?

That's the message? People are not faster than a speeding bullet. Got it.

Thanks for the PSA commie gun grabber control freaks. Bullets are faster than people.

wow

Put all blacks in jail. That should significantly curtail the shootings for a while.

No no no... there is no rifling in that barrel so its obviously a smooth bore muzzleloader. Some idiot didn’t have any bullets so he shoved a cartridge down the barrel on top of the black powder charge.
yeah thats it.

This is not new. years ago when Reagan was shot, TIME or Newsweek did an illustrated story on how the bullet left the pistol and hit the president. All those bullets still had their casings when they left the pistol.

Some movie poster about 20 years ago also showed a bullet (with casing) heading for the target.

It does show that the anti-gunners don’t have the slightest idea of what they are talking about.

Bloombutt will have to spend more than 50 million dollars to counter the NRA. That comes to less than $.50 for firearm owning family, and less than $.10 per firearm, and I’m probably grossly inflating the dollar per person and gun numbers. Bloombutt should put his money towards feeding the growing number of hungry people in NYC. He might do some good.

Might not be such a “fail” after all.

Yeah! Artist's concept to motivate the ignorant--doesn't the whole cartridge look so-o-o much more frightening than just the bullet part, flying through the air?

That’s only with ghost guns with belt fed clips that shoot a bazillion bullets a second.

I forget the documentary name but it had some idiot holding Azoom Snap caps calling them one hit one kill bullets. Even more deadlier than the dreaded teflon coated cop killer dumdum rounds.
