A gun in my direction, you're pointing. I'm going to correct anyone doing it.

rewatch the video. the kid is behnid the gun and its aimed at an angle away from him. ive watched it 5 times. if that gun was reloaded and fired every second of the video at no time would the kid have been shot. its just pure lunacy. almost pointing an unloaded gun at someone, my god, the horror.

Dumb commercial, but no point in getting worked up into a tizzy over it.

Then again, when the general election comes, if you can get liberals to pitch a hissy fit over your ad that might actually help motivate voters to come out and support you.

You all are free to hang around idiots with cavalier attitudes towards gun safety. ******** pointing in my direction are pointing and I'm not tolerating that carelessness.

LOL

I suggest you avoid duck blinds and any tactical shooting courses because you'll find muzzles a lot closer than what is shown in the video in either of them.

Or you could just admit that you were wrong about the video and stop embarrassing yourself.

Fair enough, but I doubt that there weren't people involved with this that didn't know what they were doing and took extra care.

Kronke channeling Gordon Liddy with that one. +3

Don Blankenship in West Virginia has a doozy too. He says at the end of his ad he wants to ditch Cocaine Mitch (referring to Mitch McConnell). He's expanded on his nickname in a press release where he says that 'McConnell's family's shipping company was implicated recently in smuggling cocaine from Colombia to Europe. Hidden aboard a company ship carrying foreign coal was $7 million dollars of cocaine and that is why we’ve deemed him “Cocaine Mitch.”

ETA - since I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of crazy ads this year, I've changed the name of this thread. Feel free to post any odd ads you see or hear about.

I feel like this ad will motivate the exact people it intends to motivate, and those it turns off wouldn't be voting for him anyway.

I guess Brian Kemp thinks it's amusing to point a rifle at a teenager who wants to date one of his daughters. Thankfully, the ad is backfiring (pun intended) among many conservative voters in Georgia.

I didn't see him point a rifle at anyone. He had it pointed away. Oh, and just for your edification, it was a shotgun.

“I am a conservative who believes in the 2nd amendment but this commercial makes me want to vote for the other side.” There are other comments too - I suppose some could be liberals claiming they are conservative.

Sorry it's a shotgun, not a rifle. It's obvious I'm not a gun expert.

Which means you should limit your output regarding them, let the adults handle that.

Selective outrage, it's who they are and what they do.

Unless...it's Alabama rehab.

This is satire poking fun at a stereotype while getting ones message out. I'd bet there are far more who liked the ad than didn't.

"Who they are". LOL.

I have the same view as I would have if that were Obama or Pelosi in that ad. Same view others would have if this were a libtard and not an irresponsible Republican and are selectively excusing it.

Save the "selective outrage" charge for yourself and others who actually have that affliction.
