Maybe you should just google it? You don't really believe that you're not going to find a bunch of fear ads for pistols and vests and food buckets, right?
You at least believe in your own premise...don't you?

If you have to go look for a product - you aren' t seeing the aggressive marketing schene that resides nowhere other than in Brian's pointy little head.
You are just looking at somebody's website.
See the difference?

Do you think that people made to fear a dem politican just might find themselves viewing fear ads about antifa and ar-15s?
I see you being a piece of shit, frankly. You know that the gun market is running fear ads, and you know that politicians are running fear ads..but you decide to call that a figment of brians imagination. It's not even a plausible argument.

Anyone who wants examples of how gun ads stoke fear, here’s a good place to start.
https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-ho...-friend-20
Admittedly, you may have to scroll down a bit to find them and I know from experience that scrolling down a bit may not be something some of us are inclined to do, but once we get to them, it’s hard to ignore.
And here’s a paper on how advertisements for guns shifted towards a more fear-based approach:
https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/jt8qa/
And for the record, I (and presumably most other people) count something like "the world is a scary place, one with a lot of people out to get you; good thing we have just the product for you!" as fear-based.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

I don't think OLB likes my responses to his claims. Now why would that be?

Because you are a sane firearm owner? You don't kick puppies, and you help scared wimps like me make it home from hurricanes?
I just don't get it. Australia has one too many mass shootings decades ago in Tasmania, they act. New Zealand has one a couple years ago, they act. Neither of them are fascist dictatorships. But here in America, nothing gets done because a minority sect of the right wing holds the entire nation hostage. Most firearm owners are for better regulations and safety laws.
The NRA is a cult, not a safety organization.

Yes, every time there is a mass shooting, panic buyers come to this page and print out my posts because they are high volume because they are stocking up on my posts for the end of the world.
My posts are deadly. My posts are the cause of all the firearm violence in America. You got me. Congress needs to make "posting safety laws."
Tedious to you. Pretty sure if you could talk with David Hogg, a survivor of Parkland, he would say you priorities are out of order.
You, "you keep talking about it"
Me, "No shit, because it is still a problem."
You, " Cant you just let it go?"
Newton victims, "NO!"
You are asking me to stop annoying you over a very real problem. Being annoyed over repetition is nothing compared to dying from real guns and real bullets or suffering from PTSD.
It is funny but you keep repeating yourself "stop" knowing I wont stop. So you are being repetitive yourself.
Difference is I am keeping a very real problem in the spotlight, and you are demanding we stop talking about it.

I'd consider selling some of my toys right now, at these prices, if the buyers were less rabid.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
