Fading into the Dust Bin of History

So Joe and I spent a bunch of time doing a video on Sunday.  Our goal was to spread the benefits of carrying a concealed weapon.  The gun grabbers immediately decried us as mocking victims, laughing, and otherwise disrespecting those who have been died or injured in violence.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  Joe’s family, as well as my own, have both been affected by violent acts.  Sadly as seen in the video, those family members did not have the tools with them at the time to effectively defend themselves.  My parents however did have a firearm when violence came to their door.  Our goal is to decrease the number of victims of violence.  We don’t care what tool is used in the violence, we just want fewer victims.

Well the real reason they are so upset is because they’re seeing the final nails being drilled into their coffin.  One by one.

TooManyVictimsYoutube

In just over 36 hours our video has over 3 times as many views as the Brady Campaign video.  We have three times as many views as what they could get in 2 weeks.  The video of their speakers in San Fransisco have only 12 views.  (Note I clicked into the videos to verify the view count.  At the time of this writing that first video has 1154 views.)  Just search YouTube for “Too Many Victims“.  Even their video to start this viral campaign only has 1572 views.  None of their videos has any “Likes”, heck they don’t even enable the feature on their videos.  For comparison, our video has 99 likes and 7 dislikes.

When a bunch of unfunded bloggers, who on their own free time, can take your own viral marketing campaign, turn it on its head and surpass your efforts you have to ask yourself, “Am I still relevant?”  When the efforts of 4 people derail an entire political campaign can you still say, “People will listen to us.”

The wonderful thing about the internet is it makes it really hard to hide how irrelevant you are.  It also makes it even easier to collect the numbers and prove how irrelevant you are.

    I’ve recently realized that the Brady Campaign in their statistics of victims of gun violence simply count everyone shot by a gun.  That means that Cho, the VA Tech gunmen, was included in the Brady Campaign statistics of “victims of Gun Violence”.  That also means that a candlelight vigil was held on January 8, 2012, to commemorate and honor the memory of Cho, the VA tech murderer since he is a “victim of gun violence”.  I’m not sure I personally would want to be affiliated with any organization that would hold candlelight vigils for drug dealers, murderers, robbers and thieves who were shot by police while committing crimes.

      Remember one other thing. The 82 year old that killed the scumbag in Florida last week is a murderer and the scumbag is the innocent victim of gun violence. At least in the Bradyites mind.
