In the past I’ve made fun of the NRA infomercial where Charlton Heston raises a musket above his head and shouts “From my cold dead hand!” Well, amazingly, they’ve topped themselves with the latest infomercial, which hypes the clearly evil U.N. (!) as the instigator of an equally evil plan to take your guns (and muskets, and armor-piercing bullets) away from you. This outrageous “one world order” business is the same sort of stuff which led Tim McVeigh to drive his U-Haul. In the commercial, they’re constantly cutting away to a (rather boring) shot of the U.N. building, the same way you would cut to the Joker’s underground lair. All that was missing was a video effect to surround it with the orange fires of Hell. The gun (and anti-government) obsession of these people is truly breathtaking.
