    Now, this is accurate. This is how America used to be. Notice that once Democrats got back into power, they moved to reverse course for America.

    I don't get the point of your post. Are you saying that using a Thompson Submachine Gun to mow down ethnic minorities was a good idea and that the Democrats have taken that value away from us?

    I dunno, I thought the silhouettes in the picture were wearing cowboy hats and figured they were horse thieves or cattle rustlers.

    It looks a lot like the guy holding the machine gun has his face covered up, like a criminal not wanting to be recognized... applying his white privilege making a massacre of things.

    Killed even a horse.
    Good job!

    I am puzzled where you saw the company endorsing mowing down ethnic minorities.

    Will you tell me where you saw that?

    It should remind you of them Arian gangsters blasting their tommy guns around in the middle of crowds, causing fear and terror. But leave it up the Hollywood to romanticize it just because a white terrorist wearing a suit looks "cool".

    I clearly see cowboy hats. Looks like cattle russelers to me. Why do you see indi.... uh I mean native Americans every time someone is committing a crime on horse back? Such racism and bigotry in your words. A picture is worth a thousand words but words in response to a picture are also worth a thousand words.

    But who knows I guess I'm a little bit racist too. Who am I to see a cowboy hat and assume white guy. The cowboy hat is a very useful piece of clothing. Just b3cause the cowboy hat is not the traditional native American headdress does not mean that they didn't wear cowboy hats. He'll many famous pictures of Geranimo and Sitting Bull wearing cowboy hats. Oh it's so hard not to be racist isn't it. The left makes so many stupid rules it's impossible to follow.

    I suppose the question of this picture can be answered by simply not being a moron. The Thompson cane to market in the 1920s not the 1820. By that time the concern of farmers in the west was not raids by Native Americans but attack by common cattle russlers.

    Why do you think it was Indians on the horses? In fact, why do you even associate horses with Indians since they never even saw one until the white man got here. If Indians ever used horses to their benefit then it's just another advancement they gained by the presence of Europeans.

    The Thompson submachine gun is still legal to own by law abiding citizens as long as it was manufactured before 1986.

    In fact all fully automatic weapons are legal to own in America as long as they were manufactured before the left wing National Firearms Act of 1986. Back in 1986 the "New Left" in the Democrat party (today known as the Democrat establishment) still had hopes that the Soviet Union would invade America and win the Cold War and the liberals wanted to make it easier for the commies by reducing the number of full automatic weapons in the hands of American civilians.

    But you can still legally purchase full automatic weapons if you have the greenbacks. -> http://www.gunbroker.com/Machine-Guns/BI.aspx

    Much less why does he associate attack from Indians with life in Western America in the1920s?

    That is exactly how I read it. Those stinking commie pinko socialist loving Democrats have taken away our freedoms. One of those freedoms was our God given rights to kill anyone or any thing that theatres our way of life.

    Do not worry your Ilttle head about it though because a Great Leader is on his way to the Throne of Americaland and He, Our.Dear. Leader will make America great again. Then we will again be able to kill who ever and what ever we want with impunity.

    Ah, real America. Back when "arms" meant "arms". Pathetic that we can't have century old technology anymore. Whatever happened to freedom?

    I would say cattle rustlers but a good ad will force the target of your message to put whatever he fears most be it cattle rustlers, drunken Mexicans raiding his ranch , or if it was today,s world it could be Syrian terrorists riding Arabian horses and trying to kill your family and steal your cattle. At least pig farmers do not have to worry since Muslim terrorists will not touch a pig.

    If you interpret the 2nd amendment my way you should have the right to own a sub machine gun since the right to bear arms should not be infringed.n

    Well I for one am certainly worried about someone coming around and theatering me - unless they offer me free popcorn and Pepsi.

    Heathens and philistines. Why, bacon is the very backbone of a civilized society!

    It does not matter who your intended target of your ad sees I the image as the bad guys be it Indians, Mexicans, Rebel horse thieves, or Gay Cowboys your aim (get it aim) us to sell your product which will protect your family, you, and your property from any gang of bad guys.

    Remember that what shops a bad guy with a gun and a horse is a Thimpsom Sub Machine Gun.

    I was speaking of the post that discussed masks over the face.

    Nope, no "Arian" gangsters on those old west ranches.

    Where was the crowd in the advertisement?

    I was in Germany in the Army and was all over Germany. Funny but I can't recall a single ranch.

    What I did see in 62-4 was how the farmers lived in villages. Each AM they pulled a wagon into the field and farmed. Cattle were kept in the village in some buildings. I used to tell the folks, those post cards look awesome. But I can't show you the smell.

    I think one of the problems liberals have is projection. Projecting what they think they would do if given the chance. After all, they appear to be the ones that are desperate to tell others what they can and cannot do, what they can or cannot say. Look at the violent Bernie red shirts for example.

    I figure all of us posting want to write something before the thread lock.

    The gay cowboys won't hurt you, but they WILL redecorate your ranch and give you a fashion makeover at gunpoint. Look at those fluffy chaps the rifleman has on - those are going to be the first things to go.

    You can indeed own a Thompson Machine gun.

    If the price is right, waltz down to your gun dealer and he will get you fixed up pretty fast.

    I do believe that we are talking about Liberals or Betnie as such but about the ad which is funny and mist likely very effective fir but,s tine. Hell you can modernize it by not showing downed horses and make the bad guys appear or perceived to be Middle Easter or Illegal Alienish and you got yourself a sinner here.

    I asked my bro in law how is in advertising and he said (jokingly of course) that he could make the defender look like he fell off a LL BEAM or better still a Diluth Trading catalog.

    Seriously my Bro in law us in advertising a d he had consulted with Me at times with insurance or military themes.
