Would your thought have changed, if you knew what the intent was of the criminal?
I don't think "hugs" is a viable option........

I think it accurately reflects the paranoid fantasy most gun owner live their lives in.
Everyone is out to get them...and a gun makes them feel like Rambo.

Truly spoken like someone has no knowledge of firearms whatsoever the first thing gun owners will tell anyone is FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER WATCHED IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES they are devoid of facts.
But hey that snip sure makes for some "good" hyperbole.

The fact is that this commercial uses fear and paranoia to attempt to sell guns.
Do you deny that?

Another propaganda ad. This one I can understand though. Advertising.
My question is, when did she call the cops? What I got from this ad was that you don't need the cops until after you've handled the situation. A REAL person would have called 911 first and then went for their firearm.

Call the police are you serious?
And then what. Wait the 30 mins it would take them to respond to your call?
By that time she's raped or dead or both.
The police are not there to protect you. If by chance they do then great job. But that's impossible for them to do.
They are there to investigate your murder and try to bring the guy that killed you to justice.

This is why I say the message isn't complete. People should be able to recognize this message instantly; she was alone and did not "shoot from the hip". Instead, she was responsible and had a firearm that protected her. It is the only reason why I say a short cut-away to her dialing 9-11 would have made the message appeal to a broader audience. Everything else stays the same.
She is okay because she had the protection she is dutifully and responsibly to have.
