A thinly veiled call for implementing the UN gun ban treaty in the USA.

[carpediem]

Did that cartoon just infer that the 2A is a sacred text... :evil:

[Prince Yamato]

Notice the TransAmerica pyramid in the background of the cartoon. This violence is happening in San Francisco, where gun control is extreme- ironic, don't ya think?

[crazed_ss]

I love the depiction of minority gun owners there!

hahaha

[El Tejon]

Wonderfully racist! Finally the Brady Bunch drops the mask and shows the world the bigots that they are!

Keep it up, Brady Bunch.

Oh, btw, please send in your friends in the UN. Their helmets make dandy targets and I'd like their gear.:)

Like the joke went:

An Israeli reads Soviet newspapers. After all, localpapers are full of doom and gloom, while the Soviets paint Israel as an aggressive, powerful superpower out to conquer the world.

This cartoon makes us look stronger,too :-)

[Matt King]

I respect people that disagree with me, provided that they are civil about it; but when somebody stoops to this level they are showing everyone that they are immature and desperate.
Demonizing someone that disagrees with you is cowardly.

[lamazza]

According to them we are 'extremists' ?! Because we believe in the constitution?

[Prince Yamato]

Another question, how did the kids legally aquire guns given the fact that according to US law you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun from a dealer and 18 from a private individual. Oh yeah. Also, the action takes place (again TransAmerica Pyramid) in california, where you have to have a PERMIT to even own a handgun. Also note the AR-15s in Washington DC, where... AR-15s are BANNED. The things depicted in the video were already banned by pervious gun control laws. So, in effect, the video shows that gun control doesn't work.

So, I just Googled Sarah Brady and found out about the link between Reagan's attempted assasination and James Brady's handicap. I knew Sarah Brady's husband was paralyzed, but didn't realize the importance of the location the injury took place. No wonder all that stuff passed. I thought she was just "some lady" who got her ire up. Now a lot of things make sense.

I learned something today, but that doesn't forgive that really lame anti video. Stereotyping and profiling galore.

[Stretchman]

WHat's Ronald Reagan's favorite vegetable?

James Brady.


Seriously, that is about as stupid as it gets. 2 secret service agenst were shot too, as well as the president himself. And he was Pro NRA. Ever think that maybe Sarah Brady is evil, and now that she has Jim where she wants him, she's doing all that stuff against his will?

LOL.

Not that I'd ever expect the Brady bunch to recognize reality if it bit 'em in the arse.:rolleyes:

[Tommygunn]

Seen it before. Old hat. Low-brow propaganda.

[Robert Hairless]

It's amusing sophomoric satire. Mark Fiore, who created it, evidently is a talented young cartoonist and animator. His point-of-view will irritate people who don't share it and satisfy people who do. It's unlikely to change anyone's mind. There's no point in letting such things become a distraction when there's a clear and urgent need to win friends and influence people.

[Monkeyleg]

Either the Brady Bunch are a bunch of idiots (a point that could be argued forever), or somebody dropped his Flash movie on top of that link.

It covers up all the text on the page. It looks like it was just dropped in.

The Flash movie/cartoon is too over the top for the Brady Bunch. They're smarter than that.

I think somebody hijacked a page on their site.

Aren't they the folks whose logic runs:
Whereas some guy was shot with a .22 revolver and
whereas said revolver held only 6 rounds and
whereas said revolver was owned for years prior to the incident
Now Therefore Be it Resolved:
that there shall be a ban on certain rifles and
that there shall be a ban on magazine capacities and
that there shall be a ban on certain scary attachments and
that there shall be a waiting periods of a week or more.
Yup, nothing but reason and logic here.

Now back to my erudite observations, did any one else find the background music really irritating?

[hbentley1]

I've challenged the paper publically on the "cartoon", as it is clearly a smear against all gun owners, and against the second amendment in general. I'll pass on any response I receive.

[Liberal Gun Nut]

What's absurd is that this same cartoonist goes on about how the Bush administration is shredding the constitution. Yes the Bush admin is in fact shredding the constitution. We should defend it. All of it.

[dfaugh]

What contiunes to baffle me, is how the anti's just lump ALL guns together.

Meaning, almost ALL gun crimes are perpetrated with illegal (in some way or another) guns. So let's outlaw the other 99.9% of guns.

A gun that can hold a magazine with more than X number of rounds if deadler than one that hold less than X number of rounds. 1 bullet is all it takes. So a single shot is just as deadly as <pick another gun>.

I've never lost an argument with an anti...Their thinking (and "proofs") are simply illogical, and can be easily broken, leaving them mumbling absurdities.

[Matt King]

Yes the Bush admin is in fact shredding the constitution. We should defend it. All of it.

Exactly. We should defend the entire Constitution, not just select parts of it that we like. Both Political Parties shred the Constitution; they just pick different parts of it to attack.

[The Grand Inquisitor]

As mentioned above, someone needs to push this video into the mainstream because it has some seriously bigoted overtones.

Besides the faux-Koranic chanting in the background, to the rifles made to look like Mosque pillrs, to the comments about "ethnic and religous divides with promises of virgins...", this video really needs to be exposed for being rampantly prejudiced against Muslims.

It's kind of ironic...

[Art Eatman]

dfaugh, be more judicious in your word usage. You said, "I've never lost an argument with an anti...Their thinking (and "proofs") are simply illogical, and can be easily broken, leaving them mumbling absurdities."

I object to "illogical", when "irrational" would be much preferred.

One can be logical without being rational. Jeffrey Dahmer is a case in point.

What was the left wing blog that was all over the NRA cartoon drawings for being ricist. Was it Huffington Post, Daily KOZ and the red headed lawyer girl blog. I bet they would think this is a O:K. They would ignore it.

[Zen21Tao]

Here is my take on the entire cartoon. Please forgive my long-windedness:

Introduction:

As the violence increases and the civilian death toll mounts…
People are becoming numbed by the mayhem here in…

Title: America the Shootiful

Funny, the civilian death toll is raising in places that already have the toughest antigun legislation BUT decrease (or remains unchanged) in place that are gun friendly.

Frame one:
A violent cartoon city with dead people on the ground, papers with crime statistics on the ground, a criminal chasing someone shooting at him. All of this with a mix of weird Muslim type music and 911 type police calls in background. This must be the infamous “streets running red with blood” we keep hearing about.

Caption: “Death and Suffering cutting across religious and ethnic lines”

Ok I don’t quite understand what this is supposed to mean. Are they trying to insinuate that this is somewhere other than an innercity that already has massive gun control? Funny, if this was here in FL with our shall issue CCW and “stand you ground” law the innocent guy running could have an opportunity to defend himself rather that die while trying to run running. Also, isn't it funny that these "streets of blood" they keep promising us (with the end of the Assault Weapons Bans, inactment of Concealed Carry laws, Stand Your Ground Laws, etc.) only come true in their minds and their cartoons?

Frame two:
Cartoon man (appears to be caricature of Wayne La Pierre) holding up constitution reading as if were “sacred text” to the gun lobby.

Caption: “Extremist leaders preaching a twisted interpretation of sacred texts.”

First of all, the Constitution is the highest law of the land and the very foundation of this nation. It is absurd for any gun-grabber to think that their personal desire should take precedence over the rights ENUMERATED in the Constitution. Either they say the Constitution should take a back seat to their own views or they challenge the pro-gun interpretation of the Constitution.

Funny, the interpretation that the pro-gun has comes DIRECTLY from the mouths of the founding fathers. I am constantly amazed at how few gun-grabbers know what the Federalist Papers are and the content within them. Again, we go directly to the source of the Constitution rather than making wild claims that it should be interpreted differently (to suit their agenda) based on todays society.

Frame three:
Cartoon characters of young “gangstas” made up of what appears to be three black youths, a Muslim youth, and a “red neck” youth (in flannel shirt, white shirt, jeans, and trucker hat) talking about ‘hos” and “nines” and then shooting each other.

Caption: “Poor gullible young people with no hopes and dreams, except for a perverted ideology that promises of virgins and riches.”

First, as other have said, this shows the true racist colors of the Brady Bunch by using generalized racial and socio-economical stereotypes to convey their message.

There is another thing going on here too. This cartoon is turning the criminals that commit gun crimes into “victims.” But what is this really suppose to insinuate? That guns CAUSE inner city youths to commit crimes and these youths are victims of guns? That is simply ridiculous. If you take the guns out these “poor gullible young people's" hands they still have the ideology the gun-grabbers are calling “perverse.” If gun-grabbers really care about these poor "victims" they would focus on what it is that is creating their ideology not the tools they use to carry out their ideology.

The point should also be made that these are youths illegally possessing guns. They ARE criminals. They aren’t going to be affected by any further anti-gun laws since they don’t obey the laws to begin with. The solution is quite simple. They should be arrested, prosecuted and put away.


Frame Four:

The White house with “Assault Weapon” barrels coming out of the ground that have speakers attached to them blaring out propaganda type messages similar to what is seen in a police state.

Caption: A floundering democracy that is subject to the whims of extremists



First of all, the US isn’t and never has been a Democracy. It is a Representative Republic founded on the Constitution. The right to delegate laws is extended to individual states to the extent that their laws do not conflict with the Constitution.

Secondly, the police state pro-gun propaganda about rejoicing over the death of the “Assault Weapons” ban is quite ironic. The Founding Fathers (through their own admissions) wrote the 2nd Amendment, in part, for the purpose of PREVENTING the Government from emerging into an oppressive police state. The Brady’s goal of unarming citizens would actually facilitate this very type of police state they accuse the pro-gun lobby of being.

Thirdly, notice the use of the term “extremists” again. So anyone that isn’t willing to give in to the wants of desires of anti-gun tree huggers are “extremists?”


Frame Five:

Cartoon of Soap box preacher type calling our for support on various issues. Her says “All those in favor of putting more guns are the streets… say eye” Crowd says “eye.” He then yells out, “all in favor of sending cops to jail while protecting crooked gun dealers… say eye.” Crowed replies, “eye.”

Caption: “A cross-border arms trafficking network that is supported by fractions within the government.”



First, in regards to the caption, this is perhaps the most absurd statement so far. This so called “fraction” is the BATFE that oversees (most often was too oppressively) the legal right that citizens have to buy and sell firearms thanks to the 2nd Amendment. Quite simply put, a legal right (protected by the 2nd Amendment) to buy and sell firearms across state lines exists and a federal agency exists to regulate this. What about other laws that federal agencies regulate? Is the American Medical Association “a faction within the Government” that supports the cross-border trafficking of underage girls for abortions? Is FCC a “faction within the government” that support the cross-border trafficking of pornographic material?

Second, as to the message of the cartoon characters. If a police officer commits a crime they yes, he should be put in jail. This includes gun confiscation orders. It is illegal to take a person’s private property. Police officials and Politicians shouldn’t be able to hide behind their positions and get away with committing such crimes against law abiding citizens. That is a perfect example of the powers of police state. Also, if a “crooked” gun dealer knowingly and willingly commits a crime then he too should be put in jail. How hard is this to fathom? Criminals should be put in jail. Pro-gun people DON’T support protecting gun dealers that willingly and knowingly break the law.

Flash animations, by nature, are immature. This one really doesn't prove a thing other than the Bradys will do anything to feel safer in their homes. Try buying a gun to protect yourself from us gun nuts.
