Off topic: if you take the 's' off of the https at the beginning of the YouTube video, the YouTube bbcode tags will work. Sorry, it's a coding thing that we have no control over and can't fix.

There have always been attempts to influence elections with ads. You think this is something new?
As for the video, meh. It's the typical feel-good, imagery messaging that has nothing to do with belonging to the NRA and everything to do with putting you in a positive emotional state and tying it to the verbal cue of "Join the the good guys, the NRA." Sorry, but there are bad guys in the NRA, and good guys who don't have guns. Guns don't make you good or bad, your everyday actions do. This solves none of our problems with an overloaded prison population (have you seen the stories on abuse and higher recidivism rates of prisoners at private prisons - they want them back so they can keep making money on them, even though it's not a sustainable business model, not to mention an abuse of human rights and unethical/immoral to boot) or lack of safety in schools and other public places.
Pretty video, they did a great job on it. The marketing's pretty obvious though.
