You couldnt even make this shit up if you tried, I can just picture a bunch of hollywood liberal elite bozos who have never even handled a gun before trying to make these commercials.

Mr. Bloombergâs organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, produced two ads featuring a man holding a shotgun, wearing plaid flannel with a camouflage cap and sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck. While a child swings on a tire in the background, the man says, âI support comprehensive background checks so criminals and the dangerously mentally ill canât buy guns.â
The ad does not specify if the man is an actor, but he violates all three gun safety rules taught by the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The first rule is to always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. In this case, the children are playing in the yard. Although the viewers canât see what is to the side of the truck, the man should be pointing the muzzle in the air or at the ground.
The second NRA rule is always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. In the ad âResponsibility,â the man has his finger on the trigger, as if ready to shoot. While doing this, he says, âI believe in the Second Amendment, and Iâll fight to protect it. But with rights come responsibilities.â To make an ad demonstrating actual gun responsibility, the man would put a straight forefinger above the trigger guard to make sure he doesnât accidentally touch the trigger.
The third NRA safety rule is always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. This means a situation in which the gun is available for immediate use â such as when hunting and a deer could step out at any time or when the firearm is safely stored but ready for quick self-defense as needed.
In the ad called âFamily,â the man says that, âMy dad taught me to hunt, and Iâll teach my kids. Iâve owned a gun all my life, and Iâll fight for my right to keep it.â
While saying this, he holds the pump-action shotgun with the action (bolt) closed, so it is impossible to know if it is loaded. To make this a demonstration of safety, the bolt would be wide open to demonstrate that it is unloaded.
A man who grew up hunting would know that by holding a shotgun straight horizontal, with the action closed and his finger on the trigger, he is committing all three cardinal sins of gun safety.
It's perfectly legitimate to hire an actor for political campaign ads, but actor or not, is it too much to ask of a gun control group that insists it doesn't have a problem with guns, just guns in the wrong hands, to run an ad that exhibits some rules of common sense gun safety.
