Why is a copy of Little Red Riding Hood more dangerous than a gun?
That's the question asked by an ad released late Sunday night by pro gun control group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America as part of their push this week to persuade lawmakers on the state and federal level to increase limits on firearms.
"One child is holding something that's been banned in America to protect them," the caption reads above two young girls. One girl is holding a copy of the childhood story and the other an assault weapon.
The ad is part of a series posted on Facebook juxtaposing gun laws with strict restrictions meant to protect children against things like banned books, the game dodgeball and Kinder Surprise Eggs - an Italian candy banned in the U.S. because of fears that children might swallow the small toys inside.
The book featured in one of their ads is a copy of Little Red Riding Hood banned in at least two California school districts because it shows a bottle of wine on the cover.

What idiocy. Of course, CA is a left-wing state, so I'd expect no less.
Interesting that it is also the left-wingers that want to ban guns.
yes--we are a left-wing state... however, i am so glad that California has very relaxed homeschooling laws--virtually none... more homeschooling freedom here than many of the "red states." therefore, i am free to give my kids the classics... like Red Riding Hood... the one where the grandma is eaten up by the wolf...
Oops....I guess this Pro Tyrant group didn’t get the memo they were attacking they’re own with the slap at the book banning.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head at how stupid some people are.
Uh, so far as I can tell the book is nit “banned.” You merely can’t bring ot into certain schools. Last time I checked you can’t bring guns into most schools.
