[warrior1]

On Sandyhook anniversary.

That was obscene.

1. Rachel is absolutely going to flip shit when she finds out.

[JEFF9K]

2. They are welcome to waste their money, and at the same time support the progressive movement.

[Decaffeinated]

9. You'd be surprised...

They might get a few and , from their perspective, it's better spent that way than singing to the choir.

3. I doubt many people saw it.

[onehandle]

4. I didn't see that. Must have been your local cable station. nt

[aikoaiko]

5. What was the ad.?

Was it the Daniels Defense ad?

[warrior1]

7. It was something about voting for

Does having guns make you safer or more vulnerable. And something about supporting the Second Amendment. Was a pretty slick ad. But obvious.

12. What is she shooting in #8's photo, a Win M-94?

If so, the tubular mag looks peculiar. Perhaps the upper barrel band has been removed to improve accuracy. More importantly, is her view on guns evolving as a result of her SO's influence?

6. Hey! Rachel has to eat too.

eom

8. Rachel is gun friendly

despite her hate for the NRA



She's America's leading lefty wonk, complete with chunky glasses, Ph.D., and a deep faith in activist government. But Rachel Maddow is also, a little unexpectedly, totally into guns. Which is how come she ended up at the Westside Pistol & Rifle Range in Manhattan for a recent Rolling Stone photo shoot. (Maddow is profiled by Ben Wallace-Wells in the current issue of the magazine.) "I used to bring my radio producers," she says in this clip. "Everyone here's really nice."

13. +100 nt

10. Viewers could call and vote....

We used 2 cellphones and a land line to vote..."Guns are dangerous"

The ad said 2 million lives are saved by guns every year. WTF??

[pipoman]

14. I believe

That is the lowest estimate of 3 or 4 studies of the number of defensive gun uses...the LA Times estimate iirc. .of coarse not all defensive gun uses would have ended in death without the defensive gun..

11. Who knows why

they'd want to pay to air a pro-gun ad on a network that mostly people who are in favor of gun control watch, but whatever. I'm not one for giving RWers advice, but if I were in charge of paying for the ads, I would've arranged it to where they'd air on another network like CBS or CNN, who many people still see as less biased and/or middle of the road.
