Just Saw the Lame Anti-Hillary NRA Ad on TV

Really stupid and ineffective. Depicts a 30-something WHITE woman in her bedroom going for her gun to protect herself when it suddenly vanishes and all she's left with is her cell phone. A 15-second spot.

This was on Faux during the OSU/OU game.

Most of the time the gun ends up killing someone in the family or used in a suicide. The NRA uses a lie to make people fearful.

I know that most of my neighbors have guns. I have never understood it.

I have always lived in what I considered to be safe neighborhoods. However, my husband worked in law enforcement and often worked nights (because it was overtime and readily available). He's now retired and as a retired member, he automatically qualified for a concealed weapon permit. I hate it and insist that he keep it locked up at all time. I constantly remind him that statistically a member of our family is more likely to be killed by that gun, than a stranger or an intruder.

Not once has Hillary said anything or claimed anything about taking guns away.

This is pure rubbish and nonsense.

She opens it by keying in a combination. When the box opens, it then disappears.

Of course, this is in and of itself propaganda: "see how SAFE guns are in the home? Why, only the scared white woman looking to protect herself from the dark-skinned evildoer has access. And Hillary wants to take away such responsible gun owner's rights!!!"
