Clean, we are a representative republic and we are outnumbered by women who by large margins support gun control. Liberal senators and represenatives can be placed into office who will themselves impose "common sense" regulations like closing "gunshow loop holes," ballistic fingerprinting, and other things. We already see our rights collapsing, and the largest single voting block supports further restrictions. These advertisements alienate women, and that is already something we cannot afford. It reinforces that firearms are only for mindless simpletons who think with their penises only.
You mistake me if you think me some kind of prude. However, can you explain why H&K, Glock, Springfield Armory, Remington, Winchester, Mossberg, Steyr, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Kimber, or CZ do not employ the same measures? If such advertising worked so well, wouldn't they do it? Yet it is EAA with an image problem and I am pointing out a major portion of that problem. Even so, on the back of Shotgun News, EAA has an advertisement detailing the weapon, a single-shot big bore 1911. While the name is lame, the advertisement at least focuses on the product.
Appart from the chicks looking like trailer trash, they don't offend me directly. EAA has an image problem. Currently, they are the most visible component of that image.
