Missouri GOP Candidate’s Entire Campaign Ad Consists of Shooting a Machine Gun

God help us all. This GOP's candidate spends his entire ad shooting a machine gun.

If the pomp and absurdity of the presidential campaign is getting you down, and you find yourself longing for a simpler time when a pair of biceps, a crew cut, and a big gun could win an election, you’re in luck, Missouri is still a state! Since it’s a state, it needs a governor, and that governor might very well end up being Republican candidate Eric Greitens.

I remember a mailer a few yrs ago that was graced by a piture of the candidate and his child aiming guns. This yr MO emerged as the 2nd highest in toddler shootings. I don't blame the mailer, but both are examples of the freakish gun culture. The toddler deaths probably have made them defensive of their negligible deaths argument and worship of guns.
