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.

Considering the fact that the increase in id number signifies an exponential increase in killingousity, the AK-48 is gonna be a monster.

The problem I had was that the Frebus lock needed a new vibration phremolator and I couldn’t find one anywhere. Not even on Craig’s Book.

The 223 is a legal deer round in Ga and many other states. It is as effective on smaller south eastern white tails as a 30-30.

Hold out for the AK-48. It’s gonna have led lights that pulse in time with the rate o’ fire.

You can always improvise with a spintater on the croblock. Attach it with the punion pin.

The AK-49 shoots black holes.

Little Dick Durban? I expect it from

It’s the anti-gun RINOS that needs to be condemned first.

There is such a thing as an AR-47. It uses an AR upper on a modified AR lower that uses AK mags.

Saw them for sale 10 years ago, not sure they are still available.

A rather odd gun, but they do exist.

Almost as bad as Obama saying that the shooter “had a Glock that held several clips”.

That’s gotta be a pretty untested setup. I sure wouldn’t rely on it.

The existence of the AR-17 is immaterial to Durbin. He is classing the 2nd Amendment as an amendment which protects our right to hunt. We all know that is not the intent of the 2nd Amendment. Just read George Mason’s comments on this amendment. He should know. He helped write it. It’s purpose is to protect us against people who wish to kill us whether that includes the government or not. George Washington said that the 2nd Amendment is second only to the Constitution. Washington said the 2nd Amendment was our “liberty teeth”. I stand with Mason and Washington and against Durbin.

Bear in mind that the spintater is likely to braize off after twelve or thirteen rackings, so have a few spares.

It’s very important to only own a traditional looking rifle with fine wood carvings. Carvings such as skunks, birds, hedge hogs and parakeets are all approved carvings.

Liberal lawmakers continue to show their ignorance on a topic they want to pass legislation on.
