Have You Seen the Caveman’s ‘Assault Weapon’ Up for Sale on eBay?

Jan. 11, 2013 7:05am Jonathon M. Seidl

If you ask anyone who is knowledgeable about guns, they’ll tell you that today’s talk about an “assault” weapons ban is really just a scary-looking weapons ban. The laws, the argument goes, mostly just outlaw guns that look menacing. It seems that line of thinking got one person on eBay thinking: What would so-called “assault” weapons look like back in the time of cavemen?

We seem to have an answer — and it could be yours for ~~$20.51~~ now ~~$100~~ $3,050:*

Cavemans Assault Weapon Rock on Sale on eBay

(Photo: eBay)

“This is your chance to own the most iconic piece of history tried and true of all assault weapons!” the auction’s description says. “This rock is millions of years old and may have been the caveman’s AR15. This is not a modern AR15 or assault weapon, rather this is the caveman’s AR15 (Assault Rock). Again this is a ROCK.

“This item is intended purely for decoration and not intended to be used as a weapon. This is your chance to own a piece of history.”

The auction has nine days left and started out at $0.99. However, you might want to rush to see it: One internet thread claims that a similar auction was taken down by eBay.

No word on if Vice President Biden is expected to include such weapons in his gun control recommendations.

(H/T: Blaze reader Tim)

*Update:

The auction price has now risen. We’ll continue updating it throughout the day.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Actually, I think this rock being classified as an assault weapon is correct; there have been a few videos showing stats from the FBI and CDC that bludgeoning deaths by hammers, pipes, rocks, etc… is higher than guns !

Oh great! Now they’ll outlaw bras! I’m not well endowed, but I bet, with a little practice, I could use my B cup as one heck of a slingshot! Oh, and it’s double bbl too!

How come nobody hasn’t correlated the US Dollar as being an ‘assault weapon’ yet?

Lord knows the govt. has been using it to destroy us for the past 4 years.

This article somewhat accidentally hits on the major problem with the so called assault weapons ban. The law doesn’t define what an assault weapon actually is, it just bans them. They talk about high capacity magazines and other such things in the media, but the assault weapons ban doesn’t even mention those things. It gives the government the power to ban any weapon as long as they call it an assault weapon.

And that’s all beside the point that it’s completely unconstitutional anyway.

If someone is absolutely determined to kill someone, they will find whatever weapon is available, whether
it is a gun, knife, rock or a sharpened stick.

Ok- You have now confused Biteme to a point of no-return, he may explode due to brain overload. The man is so comical as to be dangerous. For all of us over 60, this man reminds us of Goering, and is just as scary. Possibly a little bit like Mussolini These characters were just as comical, and look what they did.. Do not underestimate the freak because he is stupid, look to Mussolini and Goering, stupid oafs, look what they did.

This is what you must know:

Poor conservatives, relegated to thumping their chests, making empty threats of violence, whining their loss of power, and losing elections. Face it, your sleeping giant is dead.

It is so.

So I guess the village idiot, Biden, is going to outlaw rocks and confiscate all the rocks.

Old joke:
A baseball scout is on a hunting vacation in the east Tennessee mountains. In the woods, he spies a young man stealthily moving among the trees. The boy stops, hesitates, then flings a rock into the treetops. A squirrel comes tumbling down, dead. Fascinated, the scout follows along quietly behind the kid. After a few minutes, the whole scene is repeated. The scout is almost beside himself. He approaches the boy, explains who he is, and immediately suggests that he is eager to hire the boy to pitch for his team. The kid seems interested. “Well”, says the scout, “I notice that you’re a lefty, and with that kind of accuracy and power, I can say that you have a very bright future as a pitcher”. “Oh”, says the kid, “I’m not left-handed. It’s just that if I use my right hand, it mess ‘em up too much”.

I swear to God; Americans are the bestist in the world. Bring up a subject, a good old American will come up with a solution or a logical declaration of why. Thank God I was born an American not a Progressive Liberal Communist living in California or New York City.
