Yes, TFB is firearms and not politics. But how awesome is this commercial for Eric Greitens, Governor Elect of Missouri? Greitens is a former Navy Seal. In the commercial he looks to be using an SBR with quad rail, Eotech, DBAL, and Surefire X300. He “takes aim” and shoots at something explosive. possibly tannerite and gasoline? I don’t recognize the exact make and model of AR he is using. Can anyone identify it?

If that wasn’t enough, here is another ad of him shooting a minigun.

Lets see, elect another anti gun, leftist lawyer or a pro Second Amendment Navy Seal who enjoys shooting a mini gun. Hmm....... that's a tough one.
FYI, Missouri just elected ALL Republicans. Every position from Gov on down to Treasurer was lost by the Left. The State House and Senate are already controlled by Republicans. It is a red state from top to bottom. The only exceptions were the urban enclaves of St. Louis, KC, and Columbia (home to the disgraced MIZZOU).
Greitens was always solid Republican and never pretended to be anything but.
This was in stark contrast to the 2010 Senate campaign run by Tommy Sowers. Iraq War vet! Gun owner! Humble Missourian! I seem so conservative! (Just please don't let anyone know I'm actually a Democrat) He did everything he could to hide his true colors.
Fortunately he lost his bid for the Senate, but was still rewarded by Obama with a political appointment to the VA as Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs.
