What the hell does a joke about sights on the side of your gun have to do with MLK Day?

Birdman used to post on Biggerhammer a lot several years ago. he was fun for a good conversation, a good joke, very creative, but grew annoying, and started to become a real immature dick after awhile. Not sure why. I got the impression he was starting to lose his mind about gun law issues; he stopped making sense and became incoherent most of the time. I think he needed a break from it all.

Who is Birdman? Wow this thread keeps getting more and more stange. I didn't ever see the name Birdman anywhere in this thread.

Yes. Didn't you know? James Earl Ray had sights like these on his Gamemaster Model 760, but then opted to go with a Redfield scope instead. However, the "side-sights" (called that long before they were called Homeboy sights) were still on the side of the receiver when the Tennessee Sheriff's department found the rifle in Ray's hotel room.

Know your history damn it!

Birdman created that photoshop ad. He did a bunch of things like this. they were for fake products, but one or two of the ads were referenced as if real by idiotic politicians in govenrmental meetings or when trying to get gun-ban bills passed, to their embarassment and apologies when they discovered the Birdman products were fake. Lots of fun.

We can all hope that Sniper3142 was also joking.

If not, I'll quote a little ol' document.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

While it would be interesting to encourage all sorts of conspiracy theories, pouring gas onto the fire and such, I posted that "ad-photo" just because I hadn't seen it before and thought it was funny. Not being racist or hyper-sensitive to political over-correctness, MLK didn't come to mind. Even if he had, I don't equate MLK with gangbangers. I don't think there are any similarities between MLK and black gangbangers other than skin color so I doubt that even MLK would have taken personal offense. That said, let's focus on leading lives that promote a better life for all and forget this racial garbage. MLK wasn't a racist, I'm not a racist, and remember that racism isn't confined by skin color.
