The Business of Guns

Minute MBA has a very nice and nonpartisan short video on the gun industry in the United States.

My own interpretation is that U.S. gun ownership is a measure of our own paranoia as a nation. Maybe in the past pioneer era having a deadly weapon was useful, but in Century 21 private gun ownership is not about freedom, it is about fear.

As for hunters, they can use crossbows, that way it'll be a real sport.


Two links to clarify:

Watercolor series: Since I originally posted this, I have moved more solidly into the gun control camp. The more I read about Americans shooting each other, the more I welcome the day when the NRA is considered the terrorist organization it is and gets shut down. What they are promoting is destroying our country.

Cold Dead Hand: The Jim Carrey video that riled up Fox and the NRA. Go Jim!

Thank You, Jim Carrey!

Cold Dead Hand

Beautiful work. Earning the displeasure of Fox News is like winning a Medal of Honor.  In just a few minutes you accomplished more than Bowling For Columbine took too long to get across in a smarmy manner. I live deep in gun crazy country and am a product of it, and your bit here was 100% accurate in all respects.

In terms of short, irreverent, and comedic bits that insult great swaths of people, you have joined us old underground and Newave cartoonists. God bless you. And welcome to the fight. Now I know our side will win.  Right wingers exist on a foundation of fear, and in their world they fear humor more than anger in my political experience. They really really hate being laughed at.
