2016 AdWatch: on Gun Control


Jason Kander: Support 2nd amendment rights AND background checks

I'm Jason Kander [wearing a blindfold and assembling a rifle as he speaks].

Senator Blunt has been attacking me on guns. [Inserts bolt release lever and then bolt carrier].

Well, in the army, I learned to use and respect my rifle. In Afghanistan, I volunteered to be an extra gun in a convoy of unarmored SUVs. And in the state legislature I supported Second Amendment rights. [Attaches receiver to barrel assembly].

I also believe in background checks so the terrorists get their hands on one of these [assembling last piece into place and removing blindfold]. I approve this message [extends shoulder stock and locks it into place with a loud click] because I'd like to see Senator Blunt do this.

[Removes blindfold and holds fully-assembled rifle.] [Text: Jason Kander for U.S. Senate]
