Typical leftist propaganda trying to motivate their base….

CHICAGO – Mothers Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, an organization funded by billionaire Michael R. Bloomberg, is falsely claiming a victory for forcing a billboard company to take down a Slide Fire advertisement in Chicago.

The truth is that the manufacturer contracted for the billboard to stay up for only two months
A publicist for Mothers Demand Action emailed me Tuesday saying, “The controversial billboard from rifle company Slide Fire (that you’ve written about before) came down Tuesday following a campaign from Chicago members of Moms Demand Action.”
She was referring to a billboard that depicted an AR-style rifle along with an apple pie and a baseball glove. The text said, “Pure American.”
The ad copy and design were done in house by Slide Fire, a Texas company that sells a replacement stock that allows for faster shooting.
