Ya know, it just never fails. It seems that whenever we’ve got some
Hollywood loser who’s desperate for attention and to get their name out in
front of the public by any means possible, what is always the very first thing that
they do? Well, they either they start
harping to us about “climate change” and how we’re bringing about the end of
the world as we know it, or they harp about how we ‘need’ stricter gun
control. Like any of these clowns know
anything about either topic!
Another latest example of this rather narcissistic
behavior, and one which happens to be focused on gun control, came to us on May
4 when actress Melissa Joan Hart, (I know, who?) who’s been rather scarce of
late, appeared in a new gun control ‘public service announcement’ (PSA) in
which she suggests that gun control should really be a topic of casual
conversation. She also uses the PSA to
exclaim that she is “a member of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America.”
Now it had been previously reported that Ms. Hart
had signed on as spokesmoron for ‘Moms Demand Action’s’ newest gun control
campaign, and now we see that she is not simply a spokesmoron for the group but
she is also, and very proudly so, card-carrying member of the gun control group
as well. It never ceases to amaze me how
these people always need to have some sort of cause as if that somehow provides
to them a way of proving that they are somehow better than the rest of us.
Anyway, it was in the recent May 4 PSA that we hear Ms.
Hart talk about how eagerly friends talk about receiving “a promotion at work”
or how quick kids talk “when they ace a test.”
She says that that’s the very same way that we need to talk about gun
control; and this includes talking to friends and neighbors about locking up
their guns. Hart shows how to call a friend and ask if the friend owns guns. If
the friend says yes, she then shows how to ask the friend if she keeps her guns
locked up.
In another part of this idiotic PSA, Hart appears
beside a man in a police uniform who takes the magazine out of handgun, locks
the magazine in a safe, then runs a cable lock through the gun, rendering it
inoperable. He then hands the key for the cable lock to Hart. As he does this,
Hart talks about the importance of locking up the gun and ammo separately. Now I suppose in a perfect world, or whatever
world it is that Ms. Hart may reside in, this all makes perfect sense. But we live in the real world.
Not once does the rather clueless Ms. Hart, in all her
infinite wisdom, ever attempt to explain what a father is supposed to do when
an intruder breaks into the house at 3 a.m. but the gun is locked in one closet
and the ammo in another. Is he simply supposed to politely ask if the intruder
minds waiting while he first unlocks his weapon and then retrieves the ammunition? Now maybe there where Ms. Hart lives the
criminals are that understanding, but not in my neck of the woods for sure.
Nor does she venture to guess what a single mom is
supposed to do when she and the kids get home from a movie, only to find sexual
predators in the house waiting for them.
Does the mother ask the sexual predator if he can give her a few minutes
to freshen up, then use that time to unlock the gun in one room and run to
another to unlock the ammo? And what
does the mother do if, while under duress, she cannot remember the combination
to the safe in which the firearm is locked?
These are very simple questions raised by Hart’s
idiotic little PSA–raised but, either out of convenience, or perhaps something a
bit more sinister, are simply left unanswered.
Unfortunately we don’t live in the fairytale world that exists only in Ms.
Hart’s movies and silly little sitcoms. Crooks
will always mange to get a gun, and to leave law abiding citizens at their
mercy, completely unarmed and totally defenseless, unless of course they wish
to remain so, goes beyond foolishness.
