Obviously I was going to vote Clinton already because what choice is there? But this makes me a little less unenthusiastic about it.

If the NRA hates her this much, she can't be all that bad.

I want Every Frame a Painting to do a video on this commercial.

I want one where she shoots her son who is trying to sneak in late.

Can I get that gun-safe thingy without the gun inside? That's a cool looking gadget. I'd keep my vape supplies in it.

Quick, password secured access to your vape supplies.

The NRA is clearly pushing their use as to look responsible, but tons of gun nuts hate them. They feel like it's an unnecessary obstacle to your gun. Keeping your guns out of reach from your kids is not worth the extra 5 seconds the safe will cost you.

If I needed to defend my apartment (not likely) I've got a 14" machete I got for opening coconuts, I think that would probably do the job.

How common are burglaries, especially ones where the burglars come into a home where the people are still in it. It doesn't seem like a common crime. Burglars prefer to work when the residents are out or on vacation. The way companies like Brinks and of course the NRA portray burglary seems so phony. I half expect these guys to be wearing eye masks and black and white striped shirts.

I have the greatest sword ever designed, the katana.


Old_Zircon - 2016-09-25

Actually a few of the people I know who've been burgled were home at the time. One friend of mine got home from work in the mid afternoon, took a bath, and when she got out the front door was open and half the stuff in the living room was gone. About half a year before I moved to my current neighborhood, two guys broke in to an apartment a few blocks away (again during the day), tied the occupant to a chair, stole as much as they could and then stabbed him to death. A union organizer I was hanging out with for a bit lived a block away and his girlfriend's apartment around the corner was robbed twice in one year. She was home both times. A long time ago in Boston one of the guitar players in my band at the time had someone come in to his apartment, walk all the way across it to the kitchen and steal his roommate's bicycle. Three people were home and nobody saw it happen. Also mid afternoon. At my last apartment, one of my downstairs neighbors was at a friend' place and went out for some snacks. When he got back the friend was tied to a chair and had been held at gunpoint by one man while another cleaned the place out.

That last one doesn't count because they were running a pretty large scale grow room and the people who robbed them were rival growers who were eliminating the competition by taking all their plants and lights and scaring them out of starting again.

I actually live in one of the lower crime areas in the city and don't really sweat it, I've never had a problem. The usual MO is two guys wait until people are at work, push in their air conditioners, one climbs in and hands stuff out to the other, and then they walk off with as much as they can carry and nobody says anything. I'm on the third floor and have a pretty robust door (mine's one of the units that had been pried open at some point so I've got a better door frame and lock than some of the neighbors - I found that out the hard way when I got locked out last week, took a professional almost half an hour to get me back in, and he had to disassemble the entire door handle) so I'm not concerned for myself.

Maybe 13 years ago one of my roommates was almost abducted by sex traffickers in Boston Chinatown but she got away before they could get her into the van. No gun needed.

A friend of mine who used to live a few blocks away came home and caught someone robbing his apartment, presumably an inside job because he had keys and had been going from one unit to the next getting laptops. Again no gun needed, he just yelled at the guy, who dropped the laptops and ran. And my friend was a frail ex junkie with an eating disorder, not exactly an imposing figure.


Old_Zircon - 2016-09-25

My point, if there is one, is that yes stuff like this DOES happen but that doesn't make this ad any less bullshit.


Cena_mark - 2016-09-25

Makes me glad I found a place in NYC with central air conditioning.


Monkey Napoleon - 2016-09-25

I was burgled a few years ago.

I woke up around 6am because it was cold in my apartment for some reason. I got up to check the thermostat, and I noticed the front door was wide open. I went to the living room, and everything of any value at all was gone.

Between my open bedroom (where I was sleeping at the time) door and the room where they took stuff is a halway about 15 ft long. Someone came into my apartment and stole all my shit while I was 15 ft and a 90 right turn away.

The cops didn't really give a fuck, either. They took a statement and had me make a list of what was taken, and that was the last I ever heard of it.

Cena mark, the katana is great for home defense -as it is the best sword in history, without question- but have you considered a Nodachi or Naginata for longer distance home invader engagements, like a hallway for example?


Cena_mark - 2016-09-26

The Naginata looks awesome, but for home defense I was also thinking a wakazashi would be good. Yes it's smaller, but often times smaller swords are better for fighting in close in spaces.

What are you going to do when you get that 3am phone call and it's Hillary Clinton on the other end?


TeenerTot - 2016-09-26

No! Not the white lady!


bopeton - 2016-09-26

I mean, I have a gun for defending myself because stuff like this does happen to people. It's not an AR-15 and I passed all the background checks, and even have a permit to carry it out of my house. I'm comfortable with it being fairly strict and difficult to get ahold of. I would totally support some restrictions on person-to-person transfer, better mental health checks, wait times, pretty much anything reasonable that doesn't outright take defensive options away.

This (white) lady looks like she could have gone through all the red tape, and Hillary's election wouldn't have really mattered.

All that said, anyone who would really internalize and fall for this kind of emotional manipulation probably already has a gun safe that looks like Scrooge McDuck's money room. I feel like it was more "waste of time and money" than "controversial" for the NRA.

Scrooge McDuck doesn't have a money room, he has a money bin.
