Gun control group opens fake gun store in NYC. [View all]

I find it amusing that when the antis make an attempt at humor (the Funny or Die PSA as an example),
they fall flat on their faces, but when they make a serious attempt, the results can be hilarious...

One thing worth noting, the 'gun store owner' is actor Ned Luke best known for his part in 'Grand Theft Auto V' ...

The game generated controversy over a mission that requires players to use torture equipment in a hostage interrogation.[187] It became subject to widespread online debate over its portrayal of women, particularly in the wake of backlash against GameSpot journalist Carolyn Petit after she claimed the game was misogynistic in her review.[188] Television personality Karen Gravano and actress Lindsay Lohan have both filed lawsuits against Rockstar in allegation that characters in the game were based off their likenesses.[189][190] Australian department store, Target, pulled the game from their 300 stores following a Change.org petition against depictions of violence toward women in the game.[191] A short time later, Kmart also removed copies of the game from all their stores.

There's a thread in General Discussion with dozens of DUers "in need of being educated" by you Electric Monk Mar 2015 #105

Funny thing gejohnston Mar 2015 #107

Is it possible to have the position sarisataka Mar 2015 #110

I was on a jury like that gejohnston Mar 2015 #113

And your comment in the other group disgusts me. GGJohn Mar 2015 #89

Im sorry pushing for a safer, saner America disgusts you. ncjustice80 Mar 2015 #91

Welcome to the Gungeon. It is because of posters like that one that the GCRA Group exists. Electric Monk Mar 2015 #92

Sounds like you are inviting someone Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #101

Thank you! nt ncjustice80 Mar 2015 #102

Safer for whom? NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #93

Can you help explain, then, why Canada's rates of violent crime are so much lower? Electric Monk Mar 2015 #95

Yeah, that's an easy one, GGJohn Mar 2015 #96

You beat me to it. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #97

So you guys are both agreeing with me, that American gun culture is a big part of the problem Electric Monk Mar 2015 #98

Frankly I think that Universal health care and *gasp* Socialism... NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #99

I totally agree with everything you wrote in this post. I think the guns matter too, though. nt Electric Monk Mar 2015 #100

given that their violent crime rates were still 1/3 gejohnston Mar 2015 #103

Yeah, safer for the criminals, whom wouldn't be impacted by any gun bans. GGJohn Mar 2015 #94

I'm sorry, but the whole "Trayvon doubled back and ambushed Zimmerman" story is total bunk. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #106

that is what the evidence shows gejohnston Mar 2015 #108

How did the evidence show Trayvon doubled back to ambush Zimmerman? nt Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #109

First off, gejohnston Mar 2015 #112

But Racheal Jeantel never testifed that Trayvon told her he had made it home. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #116

Assumptions are not proof of anything gejohnston Mar 2015 #117

You poo-poo the timeline like it's nothing, but it's critical to understanding Zimmerman's actions Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #118

actually we don't know any of that gejohnston Mar 2015 #119

Can I still buy the gun after hearing their spiel? bluestateguy Mar 2015 #29

chances are, they are toy guns gejohnston Mar 2015 #30

Look like replicas, not toys Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #31

That could be interesting. blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #39

No, see #10 sarisataka Mar 2015 #32

Loving the NRA is no love at all. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #43

Cabbage crates coming over the briny? sarisataka Mar 2015 #46

Loving the NRA? No one wants to watch these silly videos, empty as NRA fear mongering and doom and gloom. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #47

I still don't get your banter sarisataka Mar 2015 #50

A true progressive would be cheering anything that pisses off the gun running NRA...agreed? Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #42

That's a lot of projection in one post. Nuclear Unicorn Mar 2015 #83

Did you miss the post where Fred was appointed local Zampolit? DonP Mar 2015 #84

But don't call them "controllers" Nuclear Unicorn Mar 2015 #85

what's with the insult Duckhunter935 Mar 2015 #86

Yeah, "Controllers" is pretty rude, not like their affectionate sobriquet, "Gun Humpers" DonP Mar 2015 #114

Seems like a waste of money by the gun ban types. NaturalHigh Mar 2015 #79

I'm sure they were all well paid, not at Shannon Watt's salary level of course, but enough $$$ DonP Mar 2015 #90

Having just learned about this publicity stunt by States United, I'm still somewhat amused... derby378 Mar 2015 #104
