re: #43 Iwouldprefernotto

My problem with ads like this is that they never define/demonstrate anything about safety. No talk about locking up weapons when not in use, etc.

Also, gun manufacturers, via the NRA, went to make it easier to purchase weapons. They are against any regulations.

The ad makes me cringe because it is a weapon, and some will misuse it and some of this misuse could be prevented, but the very people that pay for these ads oppose any regulation.

The ad shows the father and son both wearing shooting glasses and using hearing protection and the rifle is on a mount being handled safely. Further, I’ve seen what Remington puts in the boxes of its products there days and they include safe handling procedures with every gun they sell.

The NRA also runs the Eddie Eagle program to teach children not to handle guns without an adult present. And neither the NRA nor Remington would approve of the deliberate misuse of said rifle in the commission of a crime, and the NRA has indeed supported strict penalties for those who use firearms to commit crimes.

Thus I do not find your argument correct.
