        No, guns protect people, of course! Give a machine gun to all the kids in school an no rampage would be possible, wouldn't it?

            I don't believe I am seeing the ads the way they want me to. I see them as ridiculous things that have been banned and should be unbanned.

            There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

              They could have done a better job with it. Most of the gun people I know had to have those ads explained to them as to why the guns weren't being represented positively. It was interesting.

                We keep ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ out of schools because of the bottle of wine in her basket.

                What?! :wtf: I know the USA's had a turbulent relationship with alcohol in the past, but that's just ludicrous.

                              They really didn't think these through, did they? They make you focus on what has been banned and should un-ban it rather than ban the guns which is the point they appear to be trying to make. Besides, guns are not, of themselves, dangerous, people are. Put anything into the hands of a dangerous person and they will commit mayhem. Knives, pressure cookers...
