| Brady Ad Off-Target |

We have reported many times on the Brady Campaign’s rush to exploit tragedy for political gain. Since its inception as the National Council to Control Handguns over 30 years ago, the group has premised its entire agenda on this kind of exploitation for political gain, and on the notion that having more gun control laws and, therefore, fewer guns, means that crime must necessarily decrease. Since the senseless January 8 attack on U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her innocent staff and constituents, anti-Second Amendment groups have been working overtime to exploit the tragedy to resurrect their political agendas. The Brady Campaign’s most recent, tasteless ploy may represent a new low. The group has coined the term “assault clip” to describe magazines that are capable of holding more than 10 rounds. They are claiming that these “assault clips” lead to more crime and should therefore be banned. This is nothing more than a rehash of the magazine bans they’ve been supporting for nearly two decades, but they promote it with a despicable twist. The group’s new ad shows a young male shooter on a range, shooting a pistol at silhouette targets first depicting a young girl, then a series of other innocent citizens. The imagery is meant to support the Brady assertion that, “large capacity ammunition magazines are designed to enable shooting mass numbers of people quickly and efficiently without reloading.” But in truth, the ad insults not just the intelligence of viewers, but also the good name of the millions of honest Americans who own such firearms and magazines. Today, Americans own more semi-automatic rifles than ever before, and more self-defense handguns with standard magazines that hold more than 10 rounds than ever before. Yet despite gun ban groups' predictions, the nation's violent crime rate is at a 35-year low. |
I found the shameless silhouette agitprop at the link. I couldn't get a specific image .gif for it. Just http://www.bradycampaign.org/images/common/spacer.gif
Click on the shameless silhouette gets am Adobe Flash Player.
The enablers in the media dutifully parrot the disproven Brady tripe every time they trott it out.
The Brady Campaign is a bunch of idiots.
But I repeat myself.
Plus they called it an “assault clip” not a magazine.
The Disarm Everyone group also failed to point out it was a liberal nutjob who shot a liberal congresswoman for not being liberal enough for him.
Scummy buggers!
Scummy buggers indeed.
Weak tea.
This isn’t going to move public opinion. The ground has shifted seismically over the past two decades.
Besides, they’re behind the times. PETA raised the bar for raising awareness. They need to recruit D-list starlets and models posing in the buff with guns for a “Go-naked” campaign on their website.
And require their nubile young interns to do topless street theater.
How did you get the image, from Adobe Flash Player?
Not from Adobe - from the browser. Did a "View Page Info" from Firefox, then skip down the Media list. Grab the URL and voila!
Thank you.
I am surprised gun grabbers have not yet placed naked girls in cages for their cause. Libs seem to like exploiting young girls that way.
I say ban hair clips. Those pigtails look silly.
Soros must be keeping them alive. Maybe Obama is sneaking them Porkulus bucks as well.
Their website is a snoozer. Like PETA they need to go for the shock and outrage effect. Throw in grisly crime scene photos. Make outrageous statements. Throw outrageous stunts and yep, nekkid chicks. Ads directed by Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone.
It ain’t exploitation if liberals are doing it.
And sinister. Nowadays you only see pigtails on porn chicks.
Not only that, but for a woman who was busted making a Straw Purchase of a 'hunting rifle'(1) for her son as a 'present'. Sarah was busted a couple years ago. (thread was on FR)
Her excuse was.... "I didn't know it was illegal". (yeah, right)
(1) Her self named group now classifies all 'hunting riles' as 'Sniper Rifles' if they have a Scope and wants them banned too!
(I saw this myself on that Paul Schmuck's Facebook page. (the VP of the Brady Bunch)
I wish that scum organization would go belly up.
LOL
“And sinister. Nowadays you only see pigtails on porn chicks.”
As a FR member, you should be ashamed of yourself, watching porn flicks. /sarc
