Bearing Arms
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said that the new video will be showing up on various internet sites and cable channels over the next three weeks.
“We want to remind women that they are ultimately responsible for their own safety and the safety of their children, and that in an emergency, help may not get there in time,” Gottlieb said. “The Second Amendment affirms and protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms in just such an emergency.
“The right of self-defense is the oldest human right,” he continued. “Our video reminds viewers that there is much truth to the adage that ‘when seconds count, police are minutes away’. Women living alone, single mothers or those whose husbands may be traveling or deployed overseas should understand that laws designed to keep them disarmed are literally putting them at the mercy of criminals who don’t know the meaning of the word.
“We encourage women to empower themselves,” Gottlieb concluded. “If they choose to buy a firearm, get competent instruction and learn to be your own first responder. Our police agencies try to do a good job, but budget cuts, manpower shortages and a busy criminal element all work against public safety and the common good.
“It’s time for all of us to win the real war on women,” he said.
Response from Jezebel
Ladies,
you need to start packing a Colt 45 next to your lipstick and tampons,
because the real war on women is the fact that the current liberal
regime wants to take away your right to bear arms however, wherever, and
whenever you want.
Not only is
this PSA the funniest best to make fun of — it's also the reason people
think gun violence is on the rise, even though recent statistics prove
the opposite is true. Another truth? If grandma wants to protect her grandkids, she needs to keep guns out of the house. Guns kill kids — at twice the rate of cancer
— and many of the incidents are because of the exact situation shown at
the end of this video. Guns left out amongst blush and Barbie dolls
(because WOMEN) is what leads to six year olds shooting four year olds.
Thirty-three percent of U.S. households have a gun, and half of
gun-owning households do not lock up their guns, including 40 percent of
households with kids under age 18.
Maybe there should be more PSAs on
that, and not this hilarious garbage video filled with fear and lies.
