Well…this one happened a couple of weeks ago but I just remembered it right now so I thought I’d say my piece so I don’t forget…lately, on one of the cable channels that I some times watch, this innocuous music comes on and the ad shows people going about their days with little stars on them that I didn’t understand…then they show them in some kind of gun training course where they are obviously training to shoot someone..oh, and did I mention that most of the people in the ad are women? Then they close it our with more daily life stuff and more stars showing a woman running, then carrying a purse with it’s own little gun pocket in it as she goes about her errands, I guess….now, you’ve heard me talk here about how I just hate these companies and extremist groups that are trying to normalize the carrying of guns everywhere..but this ad just pushed me over the edge…it was by the gunmaker Glock, and it just made me sick…I have been on this earth a long, long, time and have never once felt the need to carry a gun everywhere I go…and I don’t want to live in a society where people are encouraged to be “squirting metal all over the place” to quote Donald Fagen…..you are much more likely to be hurt or killed by some damn Rambo or Ramboina that think they can save the day than by anything else…needless to say, I will never watch the channel that ran that ad again….oh, that channel is FETV…channel 82 on Dish….geez….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
