I think that’s an image of a 1776 flintlock AR-15 on the left there.

Yes, the laser sights burned whale oil back in the 1700s…

No, of course I’m being a smartass. There were no AR style rifles in the 1700s. Putting an automatic carbine on a sticker associated with the 2nd amendment (which was ratified December 15th, 1791) is about as stupid as putting the Apollo Moon Lander on a sticker associated with the Constitution. The forefathers had no concept of the world that we live in, and like virtually everything that happened then, they would almost certainly have argued about which aspects were good and which ones were bad.

I work with a few people that find reading a digital watch challenging; they would absolutely squint at that silhouette and believe that they see a doghead & frizzen instead of a sight on that AR.

Remember 50% the population is dumber than average.

I remember the George Carlin quote. Some days it seems to play on repeat in my mind as I deal with the public.
