Recently around Knoxville I've seen billboards from the sheriffs department talking about "Lock up your guns. Do a guncrime spend more time in jail." kind of stuff. How come none of the progun groups ever put positive advertising in the paper or on TV?
A nice quarter page ad in the newspaper with something like "On -- day Ms XXX was attacked in her home by a violent rapest. Fortunately she was able to defend her life with her pistol and the criminal fled from the home."
"On --- day Mr XXX was attacked by 3 men with knives who attempted to kill and rob him. He was able to draw his legally concealed handgun and defend the life of himself and his family"
And follow each article with some verifiable gun fact like "Children under the age of 6 are more likely to drown in a bucket than to be killed by accidental gunfire."
Not to advertise to people to BUY a gun, just to show the positive side of them. Though most media has an antigun slant they usually don't care what they advertise as long as the check clears. Maybe we could introduce a little "hey, maybe guns aren't so bad" thinking into joe average. It would make getting popular support for pro gun laws easier.
How come I'm not seeing THIS in the popular media?
