Everytown / Bloomberg - Making a Case for Guns

[luvmystang67]

I haven't seen a post on here about this yet, so I thought I'd make one (unless I missed it).

I was a little worried about Bloomberg dumping 50 million into "common sense gun control legislation" until I saw their most recent ad.  Watch it, have your wife watch it, she'll want a gun.

Think about it really, what if the aim of Everytown was successful and the bad guy didn't have a gun and they played this exact scenario over again... The guy breaks in, and the woman STILL wishes she had a gun (especially because they're portraying women as helpless and weak).  Actually it could be a damned good Smith & Wesson commercial if you took the gun out of the guy's hand.

What morons... this is great.

Will you stop this?

Bloomberg must think everyone is as stupid as he is.  That ad actually makes a strong case that the woman should be armed.  I don't see how that will help the pro gun control folks at all.

Hopefully he'll keep spending billions on ads like that!

Any thinking person knows that what they're trying to accomplish won't be accomplished.

This is a pretty poor argument. Take the gun out of the guys hand and put something else there. (Knife, club, ect.) Could he not still kill her?

Not if she had a gun and was willing and able to use it.
