Ban Assault Clips (New Brady Campaign Vid) comment alternative

As a marketing professional I find the Brady Bunch's presentation of issues and "facts" to be laughable. I personally think that they are their own worst enemy.
 
Brady Bunch FB Page Not All That Friendly

You can post there once or twice, but after awhile their admins will dump all your comments and block you.
 
Then why not make a Facebook AGAINST the Brady Bunch, but instead of just posting things to troll 'em, we post things that prove them wrong. Sort of public education. Find every thing the Brady Bunch hits on, and show the truth (I know, we'll be busy getting EVERYTHING).

I think it'd work well. Just post it on various gun forums, have members join, and we will have double their members.
 
I just posted on their Facebook page. I don't expect the comment to last long. Nonetheless, if several people post than at least a few people might see the comments and perhaps contemplate the reality of gun control measures.
 
I think public opinion is on our side here. On facebook the Brady page has 14,676 likes. The NRA on the other hand has 1,195,708 likes
 
Waste of time. Nobody ever changed their mind about a conviction by reading a comment on a social network or online article. To have any chance of winning over a convert, said convert has to be engaged in a debate or education information with a question/answer format.

These types of responses to anti gun rhetoric are really just a lazy mans way out of putting leather to the sidewalk and spending time in the public trying to inform them properly. Some may think that guns shows are preaching to the choir, but in all my years there I don't think I ever came away from a gun show weekend without changing the attitude of at least one gun owner, hunter or tag along with a gun owner working an NRA booth.

The Brady center is more about money and donations than anything else. I had the opportunity to debate John Shanks from the Brady center on NPR out of Tampa after the assault weapons ban sunset.

Every argument out of his mouth I countered with real facts from law enforcement and pure logic and each time he hemmed and hawed around, had no rebuttal and the host kept going to the next topic rather than have dead air.

Yet they continue. Its all about the Benjamins. Forget the formal groups like in the other thread about the we hate HK. Go after individuals.

I challenge many of you to spend time at a gun show. Almost all shows have a volunteer type education booth. If they don't start one. When you get comfortable converting hunters who have no use for an AR, then go after the liberal gun haters.

I'm not so sure that it is a waste of time. I wholeheartedly agree that we need to be engaging in the real world, but I wouldn't say that posting on social networks and/or online articles is useless. Keep in mind that the vast majority of people today get their information online or at least in non-traditional forms. Viewing posts and information online is a very valid way of reaching those with whom we may differ. I believe we even have some members here on THR that stumbled across this site when they were either on the fence or fairly anti-gun. They read some posts and started to think logically.

Like they like to say, "If we save even just one" than making a post or two to their Facebook page is well worth it.
 
We should be a bit careful here. Too much attention helps to legitimize their cause. They are a small minority fringe group and should be treated as such.
 
There was another video associated with the first where an "assault weapon," as defined by the female commentator, is designed to be "spray fired from the hip" (???) (whatever that is), and were designed to be used in "trench warfare." I really was unaware of the fact that AK 47s, M-16s, Mac 10s et. al. were used during the First World War.
 
Throw a monkeywrench in their plans, take a kid shooting.

Their arguement is entirely emotional based and that kind of arguement only holds sway with the ignorant. Of course logic and education best ignorance, hence take a kid (or even an anti) shooting. Whether or not they become firearms enthusiasts, they will forevermore look at the anti ads in the same ridiculous light that the rest of us do.

Taking kids shooting is very important. There need to be more kids out there at these ranges. A kid, a 10/22 and a huge box of ammo, and you can both have fun all day long, while providing an important education and life experience to boot. Bring the wife and make it a family outing!

This really is the best way to respond to drivel like this. Do it and let them know you do it; tell them for every propagandist ad they release, you will take so many kids shooting and teach them safe shooting and how sacred the 2A is.

If you don't have kids (who would have friends that would like to go shooting) then join the NRA and write a lot of letters. Do that too even if you have kids I guess. Talking about it on here is fine and all, but doing something about it is better.

I just joined NRA (I had to do it to join a local range, but meant to do it for years). I write lots of letters. I vote. I educate. I try to do my part.
 
Well, they killed your vid. I guess they're okay with information packet violence. If you could send me an mpeg of it or something I'd like that. At least it beats when companies claim copyright infringement and then they get counted as three parties which have had their copyright infringed upon. No Viacom, no matter how hard you rage against people doing edits of Spongebob, you still only count as one group claiming copyright.
 
I just love it how they always use the word "assault" to describe guns and other such things. "Assault rifles" Assault weapons" "Assault Clips"....and do those dumb ***** even know the difference between a clip and a magazine?! For God's sake, if you are going to try and ban something, you should at least know what the dang thing is called!

....How about "extended magazine"? that is what they are. Those dumb *****!
