Joseph Goebbels said that, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." ... Goebbels also warned, however, that the Big Lie could be maintained only for a certain amount of time unless the government used its authority to stifle dissent. This is the United States and not a totalitarian regime, so this is simply not going to happen. We will now expose MAIG's recent ad, in whose circulation Mayor Bloomberg's money had an apparent role, as a lie that is aggravated by the associated description:
Mayors Against Illegal Guns released this ad featuring a gun owner who understands that support for background checks goes hand in hand with support for the Second Amendment and defending their families.
The man in the video is almost certainly not a gun owner, and nobody ever taught him to hunt. He is probably an actor who was paid to portray a gun owner -- and a stereotypical one, complete with pickup truck and Southern drawl -- so Mayors Against Illegal Guns could claim that even the NRA's constituency supports universal background checks. Why do we think MAIG is lying? Its own video provides the evidence, which is the worst imaginable propaganda blunder.
(1) The shotgun's barrel is pointed horizontally, thus endangering anything within its line of fire unless the backstop of something like a target range is directly in front of it. The context of the video suggests that this is not the case.
(2) The shotgun's breech is closed, which makes it impossible to see whether there is a live round in the chamber.

The actor playing a hick? To hell with him, and to hell with Bloomberg. Bloomberg has no authority outside NYC, and people need to start telling him so.
Money talks and Bloomie has billions.
My prayer is that he has enough success to run for POTUS as an indy in 16 and give us a plurality win.
He could be Hillary’s Perot.
Caught lying to America?????
They’ve been lying to America for years, now.
Legal guns against stupid mayors.
