The NRA has made some ads lately pushing back against
President Obama’s gun control agenda. And since their ads have not been
particularly well-received, especially within the news media set, it doesn’t
seem like they could get any more flak than they have been getting. So why not make a fun ad about assault
rifles that ridicules the administration in a silly and comedic way, rather
than going for worst-case scenarios? And that could be best achieved by using
an apocalyptic scenario presented by the government recently.
Yes, during the presidential campaign last fall, during the
political conventions, there was a big news story about how FEMA was
recommending we all prepare for natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes
like we’d prepare for a zombie apocalypse. The Department of Homeland Security
even made a training video for their employees that showed a zombie apocalypse
being put down with assault rifles. So has the government decided they want us
to be defenseless against zombies? I’m only asking because assault rifles, the
things they want to ban, are what stops the zombies in the government training
video.
And so if the NRA used this video in their next ad opposing
the assault rifle ban, they could claim that the government wants us all to be
killed by zombies, and then suggest that maybe the government made the zombies
themselves (because they always do in the movies), and they don’t want us to be
able to survive. (Maybe to save money on entitlement spending?) So we’ll all be
eaten alive, and all because of President Obama! (Oh, the humanity.)
Hey, it couldn’t get them any worse press than everything
else has. So they might as well try it. It couldn’t make them look any sillier
than the others they have made recently, could it? And it would probably get
everybody’s attention at least.
(BTW: This is just intended as a silly joke. I don’t own a
gun, so I have no horse in this race. I think something must be done to address
gun violence in America, but I don’t think it will even help much no matter
what they do. But the government has been telling us to prepare for a natural
disaster like we would prepare for a zombie apocalypse, and I would want an
assault rifle with a huge clip for that. In fact, for a zombie apocalypse, I
would insist upon having at least one of
each. And they’re the ones
{Democrats in government, that is!} who brought up the zombie apocalypse
scenario, not me! So they opened themselves right up for this one.)
Here is the Homeland Security video about the zombie
apocalypse:

apocalypse preparation idea:
