The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is launching a new ad as part of an effort to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to take up gun reform legislation.
The progressive outside group will go up with the ad in Kentucky this weekend, where it will appear on Fox, MSNBC and CNN.
"Our ad makes clear Mitch McConnell is out of step with Kentucky voters, even gun owners. He's corrupt and in the pocket of gun manufacturers who have spend hundreds of thousands to elect McConnell," Adam Green, the co-founder of PCCC, said in a statement.
In addition to running the ad over the weekend, Green said the group would also air at least $10,000 worth of ads "every time there is a mass gun shooting until McConnell schedules a vote on an assault weapons ban and universal background checks."
PCCC initially made the ad, which features a Kentucky hunter saying he supports banning assault weapons, in the wake of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six adults were killed.
PCCC noted that the only change they had made to the ad was the amount of money McConnell's campaign had received from the gun lobby.
According to the ad, gun lobbyists have given $671,347 to McConnell.
"I’m a Vietnam vet and a hunter. I only shot my rifle one time this last season. One shot, one deer. But I’d be a pretty bad hunter if I needed an assault rifle to shoot that buck. I support the plan to ban assault weapons, and keep them out of the wrong hands. Because I know these guns. I know what they can do," says Gary Nutt, the hunter featured in the ad, says in the video.
SNIP
It was about securing liberty for 'WE THE PEOPLE' of these United States.
They are wasting their money and that’s a good thing...............
“I’m a lifelong Christian woman, but abortions up to birth should remain legal and funded by your tax dollars.”
Between this and the “Moscow Mitch” label McConnell is in for a long re-election campaign.
Gary Nutt is an ignorant fool as most FUDDS are.
PCCC reminds me of CCCP.
Haven’t you noticed that lately, that they are getting these people who talk about their military and hunting backgrounds and how they think that firearms that would likely not be used at all on a battlefield to begin with are too dangerous to be owned by civilians.
“Moscow Mitch”? RIDICULOUS!!! He’s Beijing Mitch.
Taking my guns will not stop shootings ,except for me defending my family.
“Between this and the “Moscow Mitch” label McConnell is in for a long re-election campaign.”
Sure thing doo doo dog. The last demonrat tried did so well.
an assault weapons ban and universal background checks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Republicans that support these are Democrats in R jerseys as they are clearly against the 2nd Amendment.
Reminding Kentuckians that Mitch is solid on gun rights seems like a perverse election strategy for liberals to pursue.
“I’m a Vietnam vet and a hunter. I only shot my rifle one time this last season. One shot, one deer. But I’d be a pretty bad hunter if I needed an assault rifle to shoot that buck. I support the plan to ban assault weapons...”
In other words, “I’m a Vietnam vet, so STFU when I call for an assault weapons ban”.
BTW, I too am a Vietnam vet & I own a so-called assault weapon. And I’ve never cared for vets who wave their medals at anyone who disagrees. One’s vet status is an honorable thing but it is not a shield against criticism or dissent.
I also don’t like being told, “you don’t neeeeeeeeeed an AR-15!!”
hopefully, McConnell will push through a one sentence bill repealing all “gun control laws” and regs
this will help America get back towards a lawful, sane society...... and drive the commie.nazi-Dimocraps crazy!
smile smile smile
I wonder what Mr. Nutt believes he was fighting against in Vietnam?
Emphasizing a “Vietnam vet” once again?
Talk about (once again) revisiting their tired old playbook that isn’t working any more....
It’s been my observation that the Fudds and “deer season only” types are the most dangerous on the range, as they have the least regular exposure to firearms and frequently do dumb/dangerous things on the firing line. A living example of “not twenty years’ experience, but a year’s experience repeated twenty times”.
In contrast, the guys with the ARs and AKs tend to be pretty safe, since they shoot for fun, and much more frequently, and are cognizant of range safety.
