Milwaukee Gun Ad Mocks 'Man Buns, Noodle Arms'
An ad for a gun on sale features a weapon assembled and tested in Waukesha.
WAUKESHA, WI—A Milwaukee man's for-sale gun advertisement got some chuckles and raised eyebrows. If you have "forearms and biceps like spaghetti noodles, have a man bun", don't read any further.
A gun for sale with the headline, "For Sale: 1-Of-1 LR308/SR25/AR-10--Don't Be Cheap," was posted online for $3,800.
The man said in the ad he was given an ultimatum by his wife to either choose her or his custom-built rifle.

The gun was purchased over a year ago and the man said it was "assembled and tested by Midwest Industries in Waukesha."
The ad said he has over $5,000 in the build including accessories and optics. He encouraged people to read the build list and Google the parts before trying to "low ball" him.

The man described the gun as "probably one of the most anti-Biden, anti-snowflake, and anti-man bun rifles in existence."
"It is a man's gun. If you have forearms and biceps like spaghetti noodles, have a man bun, are a snowflake or Democrat, this gun goes against everything you stand for. You are most certain to get a divorce for looking, let alone buying," the ad said.
At the end of the sales ad, the man said, "Thanks for looking, and don't be a cheap@$$, and don't annoy me, trying to get something for nothing. The 25% reduction that I've already taken, for basically a brand new gun, is all you're getting. It's the holiday season, and I am thankful for, and gifting to, myself."
