The Onion puts out a video mocking concealed carry
« on: September 07, 2011, 01:44:50 PM »
Below is a link to a Youtube video produced by "The Onion News Network" which is a comedy group that normally does fairly funny satirical stuff, but I must say that this particular video dissappointed me.  It basically is mocking the concealed carry movement and anyone who wants to carry for self defense.  I'd highly encourage you to go watch this and if you feel the same way, please the the DISLIKE (thumbs down) button under the video to show that you didn't find it funny.

In an attempt to be funny, all they did was show their ignorance.

  Very sick video made by people with no respect for guns.

That's funny! Some may not realize that The Onion is a comedy enterprise, and they are consistently neither right nor left.

Here's another example:

They should be fined for removing the bright orange rings off the muzzles of their toy guns. ;)

Didn't find it funny or offensive. Just plain stupid. Thing is, lot of money to be made by being stupid. Just ask Jerry Lewis, or the group of guys that made the Jackass movies. gypsyman

By the way, I'm an NRA life member, love hunting and shooting, and am very sympathetic to concealed carry. I still think the originally posted video is funny. You'd think somebody like me would be offended, but I'm not.
 
Here's an example of their print articles (a few swear words are in it):

Certainly is not offensive to me---but then I grew up on Mad Magazine.
