125. "Are you expecting EVERYONE to support gun ownership?"

No. I do not.

However, when stupid people create stupid ads that make stupid statements portrayed stupidly I reserve the right to note the fact it's stupid.

If you are REALLY so attached to this ad -- fine. Post it far and wide. Rent an IMAX movie projector and shine it on the moon. If this is how the gun control movement chooses to beclown itself far be it for me to interfere.

by the way....many many women are raped....should they ALL just go around "strapped" 24/7? Is that your solution?

Whether or not a woman decides to carry is her choice (Try to remember that, would you?) but any person considering committing a sexual assault should fear for their life. A would-be rapist should be terrified of the idea of acting on their intention and I support utilizing whatever means is necessary to decidedly instill such abject terror.

Ooh! Fancy words! "apologist" and now, OMG, "proliferationist".... NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #44

Sort of like the fictive label "Gun-grabber" you mean, and what it tells about the user? villager Apr 2014 #47

Test? What kind of test? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #30

Whatever it is you are using to judge this public safety message ad campaign. VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #36

And hell the anti gun people are proud of not knowing anything about that which they want to ban clffrdjk Apr 2014 #38

No I am not saying it SHOULD have depicted that....I am saying...if NO creative license VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #40

because people unfamiliar with guns wouldn't know that perhaps? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #57

The target audience is not capable of using context clues? clffrdjk Apr 2014 #58

"Various police agencies already said they will not enforce it." mikeysnot Apr 2014 #83

Not doing their jobs gejohnston Apr 2014 #87

Okay. My proposed regulation -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #209

add 10 round magazines to this and I am cool with it. mikeysnot Apr 2014 #211

10 rounds is not the most practical limit. Extensive military experience shows 30 rounds is optimal. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #213

30 rounds is for people with mikeysnot Apr 2014 #214

"30 rounds is for people with bad aim" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #215

Police not private citizens mikeysnot Apr 2014 #216

If 30 rounds is the sign of bad aim why are police issued 30-round magazines? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #217
