Breitbart has the video. It’s just like every other celebrity campaign, a bunch of celebrities repetitively saying the same sentence and then repeating a word for emphasis.
We are.
We are.
Completely. Completely.
Out.
Completely out.
Of ideas.
Ideas.
Surprisingly, the ad notes both Virginia Tech and Fort Hood among the mass shootings. Fort Hood was a true Islamic terrorist attack that the Obama government has classified as “workplace violence” to keep up appearances that no terrorist attacks have occurred on US soil since Obama’s imaculation. Both of those shootings occurred in so-called “gun free zones.”
Is there any lesson we might learn from that second fact?
Other than the fact that Will Farrell and Jessica Alba and the rest of these celebrities who live behind armed security as much as they want really have no business telling the rest of us that we can’t defend ourselves?
These celebrities are “demanding a plan” to deal with gun violence. But, the NRA offered a plan last week. It was the same plan that Bill Clinton offered some years back — more security in schools. I guess the celebrities don’t like that plan.
I am not in favor of the NRA plan–I am in favor of an armed citizenry to better secure the secure the liberties of us all, and if some want to require training for that, I am fine with that–BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW HOW MUCH TRAINING I HAD TO BECOME AN ARMED SENTRY ON A NUCLEAR ATTACK SUBMARINE. Including decision making on shoot/not-shoot. Anything more than that will be, in my opinion, onerous, and an attempt to just keep people from bearing arms.
The gun banners forget nothing happens in a vacuum. I find it hard to believe that the current crop of concealed carry, “stand your ground”, the demise of the first assault gun ban, mandatory prison sentences, “three strikes” laws, etc. etc. did not pop up out of nowhere, but had to have had their roots in a liberal experiment to try to make police the only possibility for protection, *and* to not crucify criminals, for reasons both humane and foolish. The current state of things was the blowback at an attempt to make an ideal world, an attempt at an ideal world where if, along the way to that world, innocent peope got killed or harmed and the killer never really got justice, it was merely the broken eggs needed in making an omelet. This is why I care very little for the banners comments that we simply cannot accept Newtown as a normal cost of socety.
Because, the fact is that I already know that liberals are perfectly happy to have deaths occur at the hands of the violent as a normal cost of doing business in society, because they once had complete sway and we proved that when seconds count, the police are minutes away, and that sometimes it seemed as if prosecutors were more interested in going after the homeowner who used a gun than the midnight robber who made a man fear for his life and safety.
We are where we are now because we already tried it the liberals’ way. It didn’t work.
I would propose this–that since we are going to infringe on an amendment of the Bill of Rights, let’s not quibble at just one. I propose any gun that is banned, or magazine thereof, cannot be portrayed in any films or television shows made, produced, or shown in the United States, so as to remove imaginative spurs for the depraved. This includes any World War II weapons, such as the Thompson Submachine gun, that are currently available to the public, but might be banned.
I further propose, as a matter of republican simplicity, that no bodyguard of a public servant of the United States be allowed to carry a weapon not available to the eneral public, for in the United States there is no nobility, no aristocracy, no officially privileged classes. In this regard, my proposal is essentially the same as those demanding CEO pay be capped at a certain multiple of the average worker, except in my case I argue the cap should be one to one. For those thinking this harsh, I would remind that for the majority of the 20th century police got by with revolvers.
All I needed to know about the campaign is that Will Ferrell is involved. Whether he’s trying to be serious or funny, all he ever manages is various flavors of stupid.
Anyone who looks to Hollywood for advice, deserves to get it, real hard.

Why this crapola bugs me the most…. The vast majority of firearms owners are responsible handlers of their equipment and are strong advocates of safety and education. And whether it’s on a range or in the field, they are the first people who will step up and caution or correct another person for a careless act. On the other hand, I can turn on the television right now and in fewer than 10 channel changes find a show with someone using a firearm (reality shows excluded). In most one hour programs, there will be at least two instances of a firearm mishandled by the so called good guys. In any given movie, you will see gratuitous and excessive use of gun fire with no consideration of what might lie beyond the target, the use of innocents as hostages and numerous acts of unsafe handling. To be honest – you couldn’t pay me to walk onto a gun range with many of today’s hottest celebs because of the bad habits they have picked up from the movie personas.
I’m by no means a fan of censorship – I love a good shoot’em up movie. The recent film “Act of Valor” was outstanding for being filmed under live fire which really highlights the differences between Hollywood fake and real life.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t Jessica Alba star in a Robert Rodriguez movie called “Machete”?
And wasn’t said movie basically the equivalent of Hispanic Pride porn? (All the bad guys were of the Caucasion persuasion)
And wasn’t there a body count of about 70 in that movie?
God only knows how many weapons were shown in that piece of garbage. And a vast percentage of those guns I am sure were portrayed as fully automatic.
I know from the previews there was at least one scene that had Trejo jumping a motorcycle that – if I am not mistaken – had a minigun mounted on the handlebars.
A minigun, of course, being a multibarrled fully automatic machine gun that spits out literally thousands of rounds a minute.
And this b%tch is going to criticize millions of Americans for peacefully owning guns?
Talk about hypocrisy!
As for Will Ferral, I have never understood his attempts at humor. He isn’t funny….just damn annoying. If someone as lame as he is can get a job in Hollyweird I have seriously missed my calling for the good life cuz it can’t be THAT hard if he can do it!
