The Ad Industry’s Plan to Fix America’s Gun Crisis. Really!

This is a Second Amendment alert! The enemies of the most important constitutional amendment are hard at work to eliminate it!

What "gun crisis"??? This is propaganda and demagoguery!

Gun violence (their preferred term) is an ideological oxymoron! Guns are not violent, it is humans! 

Soft on crime is certainly to blame for many of the atrocious killings and injuries by criminals using guns on a daily basis! Unfortunately, these enemies are not interested to lock dangerous criminals!

"Disarming Advertising 
As efforts to stem gun violence in the US falter in political and regulatory spheres, gun violence prevention groups are turning increasingly to the private sector to shift public opinion around firearms.
The anti-tobacco playbook: Late ’90s anti-smoking campaigns provide a template for provocative and informational messaging, both advertisers and public health researchers say.  
Enlisting brands: Instead of going after politicians, activist groups and their advertising partners are trying to enlist more companies to join their cause.
Two PSAs [public service annoucments] have recently won Emmys, including one in which a former NRA president practices a graduation address to thousands of empty chairs—revealed to represent youth killed in gun violence."
