Good propaganda is often simple, and this is the perfect cartoon for gun haters to share with their children, the gun-control version of “The Story of Stuff,’ but at least it’s only one minute long.
In a one-minute cartoon style ad, narrated in a lisping, child-like voice, the Brady Campaign — which Sarah Brady chairs — asks whether Congress’ refusal to extend background checks is a sign that lawmakers are “rooting for the bad guys.” Last spring, the Senate voted down a bill to expand background checks for gun purchasers, legislation supported by the Obama administration in the aftermath of the December killing of 20 children and six adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

If you watch it on YouTube, you’ll notice comments have been disabled. The cartoon is ridiculous, criminals are going to buy guns no matter what. Some of them are using Instagram, others meet on Facebook, and hardly anyone was buying them at the gun store.
Like most liberals, Sarah Brady wants to “do something,” whether it works or not is irrelevant, these are change for the sake of change people. Early adopters of the unproven.
70,000+ people have seen her video so far, yet her organization is languishing.
Brady Campaign PAC’s spending on federal campaigns has fallen abruptly since the year 2000, when it peaked at $1.6 million.
The group’s most recent PAC report shows just $2,294 cash on hand,according to Sunlight’s Real Time Federal Campaign Finance tracker. This compares to $10.7 million for the NRA.
Take that, Brady. If your cause is so popular, how come you don’t have 5 million members paying dues?
I can’t wait for the Colion Noir to do a parody of this.
