This ad makes an important and too often ignored point. The Second Amendment defense of the sophisticated slaughter machines we are permitted to buy today is silly

that shows a woman missing while trying to stop an attack in her home and then having to try and reload just as this man has done.

BTW: Did you know that the Old West wasn't like it was in the movies? Most of what we think of the Old West is a result of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show which ALSO toured through the old west.

People were proud to live in a town where you could walk the streets at night and it WASN'T because everyone had a 'shootin' arn' strapped to their leg. The town often banned guns to keep the peace.

Sometimes more restrictive, sometimes less.

The ad asks for change -- its already changing.

None. What they are debating is increasing background checks. You can still get 30 round maganizes (clips?), still buy guns easily converted to fully automatic, they are not even talking about changing this.
