Actual Christmas Card from Gun-owner's Lobby
http://www.oliverwillis.com/

Santa Claus points a handgun at a masked terrorist on a Christmas card that John Michael Snyder, public affairs director of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, sends this year to a number of recipients.

Named Dean of gun lobbyists by The Washington Post and The New York Times, Snyder includes the president and members of Congress as addressees.

Here’s the card.

5. Why is Santa holding those children hostage
while some dude in a mask hands a dumbbell to the baby Jesus? Strange.

8. Not to mention Santa fondling that young girl..........
but a majority of child molesters are right wing, christofascists, aren't they. The artist is portraying his own deep seated fantasies within that drawing.

6. Well it's definitely an adult card
I think it's funny, stupid but it made me laugh. Good old Santa is protecting us from "terra". My guess is that is about right. Santa is protecting us not anyone in the administration.

7. I hope whoever did the art-work........
doesn't quit their day job. :eyes: It is extremely difficult for me to grasp the notion that there are people who see this as TRUTH! Who are these twisted, psychologically damaged people? How did they become so warped and how did they ever reach a position where other people actually seek their council? :wtf:

We live in one totally fucked up country folks. Sad, it's really sad that THIS crap is the vision of so many people.

10. Do they think that all gun owners are total idiots? A gun vs a bomb is...
like playing rock, paper, scissors with kiddie scissors (gun) and a one ton rock (bomb).

I also find the image of Santa with a gun abhorant. Santa was always about peace, goodwill, love, etc... the REAL "Christian" values that Jesus supposedly taught and lived by.

My husband and I support the right to own guns when combined with some legal checks like "Brady Law", resposible gun ownership and use. After seeing this card this org most certainly would not gain our support and if we had joined before, receiving this assine card would have us writing a letter in disgust and asking to removed as members.

11. Terrorism, war on christmas, guns.......all the buttons pushed
except gay marriage, and I'm not sure how to get that on the card. Two male terrorists holding hands over a bomb, I suppose.

12. Not only did this childish imbecile send out the card
He then put out a press release telling people he'd sent out a Xmas card...

His group, the CCRKBA, is headed by a convicted felon and Republican fundraiser named Alan Gottlieb, who's also big in the anti-environmental movement...

13. It's not just about "terra"
Look closely at baby Jesus... The "terrorist" is trying to "kill" Christianity too.

And does that Xmas ball in the middle have a GW drawn on it (the one smack dab in the middle?) When I look at the card, that's the first thing my eye is drawn to (which just makes the card badly designed, as we could already see).

15. Idiot doesn't realize that Jesus is more closely related
to the Arab he's got terra-izin' through Abraham than the white-bred children the St. Nicholas (which was Turkish) is protecting with his .38 special.

:eyes:

Some people are fucking stupid.

18. Duke Cunningham wanted to line liberals up and shoot them
When are some of the liberals here going to figure out the gun "rights" crowd is just as much an ememy as the the Bush crime family, the PNAC, the Christofascist zombie brigades or General Electric. This is the "dean" of gun lobbiests sending this card to top government officials.

19. What's worth protecting in America anymore?
Convince me of that and I'll consider that fella's point of view. Until then, he can go sit and spin on his gun shaft and spin on it.

20. Please give this guy a break.
His analogy of the * administration as Santa to triumph over terrorism is brilliant.

To my point of view, he is saying "Thinking this administration is protecting you from terrorism, is like believing in Santa Claus, the grownups know better."

And what is she carrying in her right hand? ? huh?

Thats daddy dressed up in a Santa Suit, angry because mommy has dared to leave the bedroom without his permission.

24. How Come The Terrorist Doesn't Look Like McVeigh?
Edited on Thu Dec-22-05 09:50 AM by ProfessorGAC
Or Nichols? Or Rudolph? Just sayin'!

Edited To Add: Boy, Santa is lucky that the terrorist has fire fuses on the pipe bombs, so he can't just push a button and kill them both! That's really lucky!

25. If only suicide bombers would wear their bomb belts outside their
clothes or not in a knapsack - this could work. Otherwise - like Santa Claus - it is pure fiction.

I think this is one for the kids - eh?
