I saw this yesterday when Imperious Leader, Birthday Boy, and all-round good guy, MB, posted it on the blog. I did not notice it then, but it is appalingly clear here - the gun photo is reversed. I mean, unless someone makes left-handed bolt actions and scope knobs. The lefties just can not get anything right when they are talking about guns.

I especially liked the double trigger.

I'm far from an expert but I believe the double trigger is for real.  I think it could be a Mauser Model 66.  And I think it may be cocked as well.  Don't know enough about Mauser's to tell if the safety is engaged.

It appears some organizations, rather than obtain permission (pay for) for images, invert them, as a way of justifying free use.  Same with this "mailer".   I think they're fooling themselves by inverting the image.  It's still theft of intellectual property, if they didn't obtain permission.  And if they did.....why invert the picture?  I don't think this would fall under "fair use", as it is neither incidental, nor is it a satire, nor is it an article about the "picture".

This is like asking us what we'd rather be shot with: a 41 mag or a 10mm.  >:(

You got to admit, she has a bigger set of gonads than the other two just putting out a pack of BS like that ad!  She must think we have very short memories.
