Dick Durbin Says No Self-Respecting Sportsman Uses an 'AR-47' to Hunt Deer in Illinois
BuzzPo ^ | 6/15/2016 | BY ERIC REED

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.

Dick, when I want your opinion about what I will use for hunting, I’ll beat it out of you. Since I don’t believe in initiating physical force, shut up.

One pull of the trigger and reality ceases to exist.

I could have sworn that gun went off when Obama was elected.

I would love to have an AR-47, an AR platform that is chambered in 7.62x39. Best of both worlds.

The rail attachment on my AR houses my bug-out vehicle. This is the perfect gift for father’s day!

Correct but a .30-30 is just as good. Why carry the extra weight when you can carry a lighter lever gun hunting?

You can’t hunt deer with any center fire rifle in Illinois. It’s shotgun, muzzle loader, and archery only.

I prefer hunting deer with a Bowie knife.

I have yet to bag one, though.

Deep sea fishing tackle is the way to go.
There’s nothing like the feel of a 300 lb. buck
stripping line off the reel at 35 mph.
