I bet they wanted us to be appalled.

A video calling out Republican mid-term election commercials featuring guns:

Now, *nobody* should be under the delusion that Republicans in general or these in particular truly have the 2nd Amendment at heart. I accept that chances are *really* good that for at least some of these politicians, the guns they’re shown holding are simply props. But they are holding these props knowing full well that by doing so they will annoy the sort of horrible people who are offended at the idea of American civilians having anything like the sort of right to defend themselves that the IRS’s new army will have.
