Gun-toting attorney Mark McCloskey has shown off his new rifle just two days after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreeing to surrender the weapon he pointed unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters.

‘Checking out my new AR,’ reads the caption. McCloskey is seen in the photos wearing a curt smile and brandishing the weapon with a finger just above the trigger. One photo also includes his wife Patricia giving a thumbs up.

The gun-toting St. Louis couple, both personal injury attorneys in their 60s, appeared in court Thursday where they admitted to a judge that their actions had put peaceful protesters at risk of serious injury.

I read somewhere that he said he intended to put the protestors at risk, and that that was the point of the rifle, and that the proper solution is to legislate it from being a misdemeanor to being a justified response to threatening acts, not to litigate it in the court.

If he dropped any of them do you think the rest wouldn’t running away as fast as they could? Antifa are cowards bullies and thugs not NVA. Besides how would they know if he ran dry?

They were not protestors. They were rioters. Protesters become rioters when they destroy property and trespass.

[ExGeeEye]

Agreed, but I was trying to come as close as possible to his quote without claiming it as an exact quote.

So you’re saying he’s true Senator material who will go along to get along.

We have enough of those.

Thanks for the heads up.

The standard GI bayonet is designed for the 14.5 inch barrel of the M-4, or the 20” barrel of the M-16 series, not the NFA required 16” one of the civvy AR-15.”.

I do have a bipod made by NcStar with adjustable length legs that attaches to my 16” AR-15 carbine length gas system version though.

I think he’s getting ready for a senate run.

He announced his senate run a couple of weeks ago.

No it’s not. It’s got the carry handle sights.

Thanks for repeating what I said. Its good to have fans. 😆

[Who is John Galt?]

No it’s not [a flattop]. It’s got the carry handle sights.

It's a flattop upper with removable carry handle; if you look closely, you can see parts of the attachment mechanism (the 'thumb nuts') on the side facing the camera...

He should have got the Mrs. an AR pistol and taught her how to use it.
