Steve Stockman AR-15 Giveaway Prods Twitter Followers: 'Grab This Gun Before Obama Does!

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) took his pro-gun beliefs to Twitter Wednesday, offering followers a rare opportunity.

Stockman informed the social media community that he is giving away a free Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle, pointing readers to a form on his website.

"Enter the drawing to win a FREE Bushmaster AR-15 rifle, almost impossible to find in stores and the number one firearm on the gun banners' wish list!," the post reads.

Within the tweet, Stockman also took a jab at President Barack Obama's efforts to enact gun control laws.

just compulsive liars. They know Obama doesn't want to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens, but it is advantageous to their agenda to repeat that lie to their dimwitted and hateful voters.

How about Ms. Feinstein's quotes from this short video?

How does that square with your premise?

Obama has said nothing whatsoever about any gun bans altogether. All he's asking for right now is a background check on all gun purchases.

Nice try, she's talking about assault weapons ban. Not a repeal of the 2nd Amendment, and CERTAINLY nothing Pres.Obama is proposing.
