Political Ad for Pamela Gorman for Congress

[C19fan]

Hat tip to Hot Air for the link. Do enough of a gun aficnado to know what pistol she is firing.

[Riley]

Trigger control ma’am- trigger control.

[Uncle Miltie]

ttiuwp

[rarestia]

Damn, she likes her toys BIG! First pistol looks like a .45 by how it kicks. Can’t make out make/model. Revolver might be a .38?

And yes, def. NOT guilty!

[PapaBear3625]

[Lurker]

So not guilty.

[Uncle Miltie]

[Melas]

Not to pick, but why does the M16 or variation thereof seem to kick more in the video than the Thompson? I’ve fired both weapons and the Thompson is a beast that’s almost impossible to control. In this vid, she’s in complete control of the Thompson, but both handguns and the rifle rock her whole body. I strongly suspect that she’s firing blanks in the Thompson.

[Uncle Miltie]

[dfwgator]

So Not Guilty it’s not even funny.

[Uncle Miltie]

"both handguns and the rifle rock her whole body"

Ahem, sir, may I volunteer for that duty?

The Thompson has a compensator. I don't know what Tommy you shot but they are one of the easiest to control sub guns.

[paul51]

that semi auto pistol she is rapid firing is pointed all over the place. Those last couple shots were off into the air somewhere.

[C19fan]

Basically keep a healthy distance from her when she is firing a gun, hee hee.

[calex59]

Sorry, but the Thompson is also setting her back. Notice how she is holding it, this keeps her from feeling the recoil as much, since the butt is being held under her arm and not against her shoulder. I would say she learned her lesson about holding the Thompson on her shoulder!

[karnage]

The Thompson a beast, you say? I beg to differ! The gun’s heft reduces its recoil to a mere nudge. My petite wife handles it with ease.

VOTE GORMAN!

I know nothing of her policies or politics, but anyone with the gumption to put out such an ad in politically-correct 2010 deserves to win!

[PhatHead]

The Thompson has a compensator. I don't know what Tommy you shot but they are one of the easiest to control sub guns.

I believe the standard issue military version (M1A1) did not have the Cutts Compensator.

[snarkbait]

Anything that gets the autocopulating, too-smart-by-half, liberal pantywastes favorite BVD’s into a tight little wad works for me.

(the goo-tube comments are priceless)

[Recon Dad]

The semi kicked like a .45 the pistol shot like a 357. That’s my best guess.

[Recon Dad]

Yeah, she was doing fine on everything except the 45. Looked like she was holding on for dear life.

[Enterprise]

Not only yes but HELL YES!!

[Recon Dad]

I had an uncle who kept a Thompson under his bed his entire adult life. Where he lived is was a necessity.

[Candor7]

Not guilty.

However she will need to start a second fund raising account above and beyond her campaign fund raising to stay well supplied with ammo. ;-)

Talk about pull the trigger!

[colorado tanker]

Yes, maam. No, maam. Anything you say, maam.

[GonzoGOP]

the add refers to the “Caliber of our Candidates”. In this case that appears to be .45 ACP.

[TigersEye]

That works! .45 ACP has great stopping power. ;^)

[Tainan]

Good advert.

It pisses off the right people.

[sabe@q.com]

But you don’t support Gorman do you?

[chessplayer]

Dumbest ad I`ve ever seen. Talk about giving libs talking points.

[freekitty]

I like her already.

[Cyber Liberty]

I think she has a snowball’s chance in heck. Sure is purty, though....

[sabe@q.com]

She was a great state senate representative of ours. And she was a state house rep of ours as well and we liked her.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Hmmmm. Politicians in the news.

How about a "compare and contrast" session.

Conservative

Liberal

I rest my case. Ooh. Brutal.

[Armedanddangerous]

INNOCENT!...OF ANYTHING..

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, I’m in love.

[RegulatorCountry]

Yep, the son Fred Flintstone never had.

[texmexis best]

A perfect political ad. Wonderful and it matches Arizonans mood.

Dead on.

[SwedeBoy2]

“why does the M16 or variation thereof seem to kick more in the video than the Thompson?”

Probably a 9mm Thompson.

I have fired one in 9mm at the Machine Gun shoot in Albany.

From Wikipedia: “Some experimental calibers were .45 ACP (11.4x23mm), .22LR, .32 ACP, .38 ACP, and 9mm P.”

[ataDude]

I’m in love.

[McGavin999]

I don’t know who she is sabe, but most of us here know that if you are against someone, we should seriously consider supporting them.

[sabe@q.com]

Sure you do. I recommended her before to you in this forum and you said some ex mayor from Gilbert would be better.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

I’ll buy that.

[McGavin999]

Well, if you’re recommending her, then we should stay away from her.

[sabe@q.com]

She’s as conservative as they come. In fact, she was number 4 in the republican leadership in the state house and because she took a no tax pledge was forced out.

[Retired COB]

How about a "compare and contrast" session.

Hey, somebody had to replace Helen Thomas as the most telegenic liberal.

[sig226]

It looks like you’re feeling a bit better, which is good to see. What did you think of her as a state rep?

The video is pretty obviously a put-up job. She’s obviously not familiar with the AR-15 or the pistol. It’s cute, and I’ll giver her credit for doing it, but is she for real conservative?

[Cyber Liberty]

I really don’t know much about her performance as Rep. Others who are in her district say she’s good, so I’ll go by that.

I think there is a large number of candidates for the seat she’s running. It’s “safe Republican,” so the winner of the Primary will be the next Representative.

No denying she’s easy on the eyes. I don’t think this ad is very good, but it sure as heck isn’t going to hurt her in this race.

Yes, I’m feeling better every day. Thanks for noticing! :^)
