NRA Uses Offensive Italian Stereotype To Promote Bob McDonnell

And people wonder why the NRA’s political swagger isn’t what it used to be.

Alert the NRA.
For over a year, ABC News has followed Omar Samaha on a very personal quest to hold those lawmakers to their word. Omar’s sister Reema was one of 32 shot and killed at Virginia Tech. We went with Omar to a gun show in Richmond, Va. — one of hundreds held every weekend [...]

Glenn Reynolds Can’t Imagine Why Black Neighborhoods Don’t Want Tons Of Guns Around Them

Can someone please tell Instapundit why heavily black neighborhoods might not want guns running like water through them? In DC, if a gun ban were put up to a vote, it would pass pretty overwhelmingly. I can’t imagine why that might be.

The Rube Vote

Gun shops play off NRA fearmongering of Obama to scare up gun sales. Why do I feel the gun sales would match up well with the counties here who voted more GOP than in the past, mostly in the south. Or, The Rube Belt, as I like to call it.

The Gun Show Loophole Ad MSNBC Won’t Run

MSNBC has declared the following ad to be too controversial to air. I can’t possibly see anything remotely controversial about it. And you get the sense that if the people advertising were the drug companies and financial services firms MSNBC runs on a constant loop, it wouldn’t be so “controversial”.
You know what else is “controversial”? [...]

Clearly We Need More Guns

More, more, more.
A 3-year-old girl found a gun in a bedroom of her home and shot herself in the head Sunday, police said.
