re: #102 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I don’t have a ‘problem’ with it either, except to the extent that I have a ‘problem’ with Kindle ads— and the perspective the picture was taken from.

It doesn’t, though. It just says “Use it responsibly” but that doesn’t actually promote safe usage. Especially not when showing a picture that looks like it was taken by someone standing in front of the rifle.

But why do you applaud that ad? Do you think that ad will actually encourage safe gun usage?

The ad is clearly designed to show, therefore promote rifle shooting as a family sport that calls for safety gear. It shows the gear. And says be responsible.

It’s really easy to arrange that photo safely. Like with a bluetooth or cable remote shutter release. From the front we can see the gear and the faces of the participants. If I were a hired photog for a gun or range ad it might look a lot like that ad.
