Has anyone else seen that TV commercial that claims background checks protect our Second Amendment rights?

Can someone explain that claim?

It was by the mayors against illegal guns group and the www.demandaction.org site. The commercial involves Sen. Jeff Flake's failure to sign a bill to enforce stronger background checks. Apparently he said at some point he would sign it. The ad basically just has text with someone reading it for you. as if you can't read it for yourself? Anyway, it actual wants you to believe that by backing them in stricter background checks that somehow that will protect our 2nd amendment rights? It left me with several thoughts...0ne..they are ignorant 2) they believe the people are ignorant or 3) both!

And to top it all off...did you see Obama a day or two ago stand there and say that he, and many others, feel that assault rifles don't belong in movie theaters? I have to think...when has an assault rifle walked into a theater and hurt anyone? Again...1)is he ignorant 2) does he really think everyone else is ignorant 0r 3) both?
Come on folks...think about it...it's the people that are killing people! Damn! It's time we stop and think what is desensitizing people to think it's OK to kill? Our TV's are full of violence! The video games are even worse because that's repetitious violence being played over and over again! And then we have the Government setting the example that if someone says something they don't agree with...you just take'em out! I just read, a day or two ago, an article where it was being recommended that the US take the first strike against N Korea!? There is plenty of time to defend our country if the Kid decides to make good on his treats! But our leaders seem to think that if they don't like what someone says...you shoot'em all! And you wonder why we have mass shootings? It has absolutely nothing to do with large capacity magazines or the use of assault rifles! If those are deleted... two things will happen...only criminals will have them... and two... the mass killers will resort to other means like fertilizer bombs, poisoning, etc. The only obvious answer is to allow folks to defend themselves while we begin to remove the
violence as a means of entertainment and example of how to react!

God Bless,

We have to ban fertilizer, including chicken poop, Ryder rental trucks, and reindeer. (they carry the video games parents buy their mentally, sorry, poor little deprived (depraved?) children who grow up to be cereal (I know, its serial) killers to play. Now I will go to bed!

Gun control is so simple, it's not surprising politicians have so much trouble with it: You lean the gun in the corner, and it stays there until needed.
To make the rather bold assumption that politicians are ignorant, and think the people are ignorant, is absolutely correct.

Question? Is that gun leaning in the corner a shotgun or is it an AK-47 with a 100-round assault pack?

Just asking. If I'm your neighbor and the music from the party I'm throwing is starting to get on your nerves, and you haven't been taking your meds like you're supposed to, and you just flip out and crash my party with that gun leaning in the corner ... well then, I might have a vested interest in what types of weaponary you're allowed to purchase at the local gun shows.

Remember Goebels - to paraphrase, if not quote: tell a lie big enough, loud enough and long enough and it will soon be accepted a truth. (seems many have adopted this, especially in the political and politically correct arenas)

For those who may not know, Goebels was Hitler's propoganda minister

I definitely agree with the entertainment field desensitizing the audience with all the violence. What baffles me is that there are people that do not believe that. How could they not is the question? Thanks for the reply, I greatly appreciate it!
