An anti-gun poster shows a complete cartridge being fired. Again. [View all] Jgarrick Apr 2014 OP

A pro-gun poster misses the point entirely and deliberately. Again. villager Apr 2014 #1

Oh, I get its point, I assure you. Jgarrick Apr 2014 #4

well, they certainly aren't inhibiting it. lastlib Apr 2014 #24

Let's define this -- Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #35

Exactly. Precisely the same as buying booze for an alcoholic then feigning surprise when... villager Apr 2014 #46

No, they just leave loaded guns around all over the place Warpy Apr 2014 #55

The poster says nothing about unsecured firearms. Jgarrick Apr 2014 #56

The point is a lie, a logical fallacy, a false equivalency. So obvious. nt NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #23

kinda like the "cars kill more people than gunz" meme, huh? lastlib Apr 2014 #26

Very much like that, yes. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #30

Pretty much the same, a false equivalency that would make any researcher cringe. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #34

Technical accuracy doesn't always matter...but sometimes it does. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #29

Kinda like "The shoulder thingy that goes up". n/t oneshooter Apr 2014 #31

That's the technical term. Lizzie Poppet Apr 2014 #33

i wouldn't say that at all melm00se Apr 2014 #59

It doesn't have to be accurate. nt rrneck Apr 2014 #2

what was "their point" were they trying to precisely accurately depict a gun being fired? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #3

It speaks to credibility. Straw Man Apr 2014 #6

credibility? A gun being "accurately depicted" in an advertisement MUST VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #7

Yes, credibility. Straw Man Apr 2014 #8

So McDonalds isn't "credible" because it uses a clown in its advertisements instead of a VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #9

If you are suggesting that this ad has the same credibility ... Straw Man Apr 2014 #11

Yeah....Ronald McDonald has had ZERO impact.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #12

So the clown has you convinced ... Straw Man Apr 2014 #13

Not I....but he sure HAS sold alot of burgers....no realistic representation required VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #36

Sold a lot of burgers -- to children and idiots. Straw Man Apr 2014 #44

So???? This changes the point that creative license is always used as a medium in VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #48

Creative license is supposed to be "creative." Straw Man Apr 2014 #49

No creative license in advertisement....is meant to capture attention..... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #50

So far, all of the advertizing you have mentioned Jenoch Apr 2014 #51

What difference does THAT even make? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #52

In each case in which you posted 'gun' I believe you meant "cartridge'. Jenoch Apr 2014 #53

I don't even care ....what difference does that make to the overall message? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #54

Capture attention? Straw Man Apr 2014 #58

When did you see a clown on a McDonald's television advertisement? Jenoch Apr 2014 #25

What difference does THAT make....this AD was not on TV VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #37

They had a thief in their TV commercials too. Jenoch Apr 2014 #38

Obviously not a point you have been reading along with.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #39

Technically that graphic is not an advertisement. Jenoch Apr 2014 #40

Google gives me other versions of this without the typo - I'm guessing petronius Apr 2014 #5

So? Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #10

They're not missing the point. This is the type of misdirection that proliferationists are schooled villager Apr 2014 #15

How can this thread be misdirected when the entire Jenoch Apr 2014 #27

There is sweeping accusation heavily & obviously implied... Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #16

not many people Niceguy1 Apr 2014 #17

Wait a sec...it happened again? mokawanis Apr 2014 #18

Right? tazkcmo Apr 2014 #19

All regressives know is that "guns kill people"....what do you expect? ileus Apr 2014 #20

Keep your children SevenSixtyTwo Apr 2014 #21

Another Gun Lover has difficulty understanding figurative symbolism. CBGLuthier Apr 2014 #28

So to defend this poster, you point out that it's as accurate a depiction of guns as a Bugs Bunny Jgarrick Apr 2014 #32

Gonna get $50,000,000 worth of this mis-informed bs. geckosfeet Apr 2014 #41

A prominent anti-gun activist has recently explicitly admiited that her side's arguments are based Jgarrick Apr 2014 #43

Admitted? It is obvious. There is nothing but fear, hate, disdain and paranoia. geckosfeet Apr 2014 #47

I would have made it look just as dumb for half the price. Bloomberg should call me. nt Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #64

For those who are down with this sort of exaggeration for effect... friendly_iconoclast Apr 2014 #42
