Sooooooo. Bloomberg is off his tit.
Sure, dump $50 million into propaganda about gun control when the majority of America doesn’t want more gun control. GOOD IDEA.
Yes, this comic is a direct parody.
Tell ya what, Bloomie. Give me a tenth of that. Grant me $5 million to come up with GUN SAFETY messages, rather than your gun grabbing horseshit, and watch the gun deaths plummet. Work with me here, Bloomie. I’m not kidding. I will make you images that actually educate people on gun safety, and get rich in the process. And we all win.
GAH.
This song’s been stuck in my head for the last 24 hours.
Without even getting into the whole “bullets don’t work like that” argument, that’s some shit-ass graphic design. Just terrible. I have trouble that someone actually paid money for that shit.
Probably far too much, to someone’s cousin.
Gah.
As a tech proffesional, everytime i hear: “oh yeah, my son-in-law does some of that there graphic design stuff, i will just have him do it.” a small piece of my soul dies. STOP KILLING MY SOUL BLOOMBERG!
Hey, at least this time it isn’t YOUR money. And now this is true even if you live in New York! Bloomie wants to piss away his own money, I couldn’t think of a nicer idea.
Well i can understand why. Room 429 is a freaking epic beast of a song
I know for a fact, that many of the incidents cited in statistics of this nature, are questionable as to their relevance. As an example, go to the ETGS website, and the link which displays all the school shootings. Here is the direct link… may be faster:
http://everytown.org/article/schoolshootings/
For no. 56, in Tallulah, Louisiana, here is the link to the incident: http://www.topix.com/city/tallulah-la
I bet the local SWAT team had their hands full with this one.
As you can see, I have nothing better to do at 2 am in the morning.
A spokespuppet contacted one of the bloggers and claimed that the site it was on wasn’t theirs but a hoax. http://gunfreezone.net/wordpress/index.php/2014/04/22/an-update-on-the-everytown-facebook-graphic-boondoggle/
That FB page has been taken down but what’s funny is that if it was a hoax, it was so well done other anti-gun groups have shared the image as supporting of their policies.
And Anthony wiener got hacked, too, right?
When has Bloomberg NOT been off his tit?
That particular image of a cartridge exiting a rifle barrel has been determined to be a hoax from a parody site: http://bearingarms.com/the-last-word-on-everytown-cartridge-fail/
I disagree with the conclusion here. After the graphic was universally lampooned, they claim it isn’t theirs.
Who would?
It was on their site. They claim, essentially, that they were “hacked.”
Just like Anthony wiener, right?
If it was about gun safety I’m sure he would give you the cash.
Sadly, it’s about taking guns away from legal gun owners. Through bans, or making it very difficult to purchase or even use them.
His recent video proves that. He doesn’t make a program to teach kids or even idiots gun safety. He makes a video to shock, and then asks us to “do something”. Well drop some cash on the NRA’s gun safety program. Get it into more schools.
Or if you don’t like that, use that money to pay for bodyguards for everyone in this country so we can be as safe as YOU!
Yeah. It’s not about results. It’s about the MESSAGE.
Actually, the “speeding bullet” graphic is from one of the parody sites. Here’s the actual site: https://www.facebook.com/everytownUSA
BTW, they’re slower than the Demanding Mommies. It took at least 8-10 hours for them to ban me.
I am so glad that i live in sweden..
That’s a great idea! Unfortunately, it also makes sense. That virtually guarantees it’ll never be accepted.
Ugh. Bloomberg is everything wrong with this town: he thinks his money lets him buy success, and the fact that he’s focused on fields where it’s worked in the past just reinforces that garbage. I get that he’s trying to keep people safe, but just like the bullshit with limiting soda sizes, he goes about it all wrong, in this ham-fisted bullshit ‘I must save you from making your own decisions’ way.
It’s such paternalistic nonsense – and that’s coming from a liberal New Yorker. If he’d focused on education and offering better alternatives instead of banning large soda cups, he’d had gotten better results. Same thing here – if he’d focus on gun safety measures, instead of disarmament policies, he’d get better results. He’s one of the dumbest smart people I’ve ever seen.
I like how the thing at the top that is probably supposed to be a flag at the top looks more like the barrels of a firing squad shooting laser beams.
Fuck yeah.
someone should do a youtube of firing a rifle cartridge out of a muzzle loader
Problem is, the black-powder charge might be hot enough to set off the rifle cartridge’s primer. Bad juju.
Updates broken again?
*twitch twitch* Huh, c’mon, man, I need my fix, man!
Failed damn update again. No reason given.
