If they're even real. I doubt an anti gun group would drop 15K on that inventory. Probably toys or nonguns

its no different than right wing anti abortion "clinics" who lure women in pretending to offer abortion services only to lecture women on the evils of abortion
AR-15s are not legal in the Peoples republic of Bloomfeces

That's already been done? And I thought I was being clever with the idea to make a phony clinic... Damn

I think I would laugh if a pro-life group set up a phony abortion clinic next to that phony gun store. It would hilarious to see the people operating the phony gun store and the phony gun store customers scream bloody murder over the phony abortion clinic.

One of them the dealer said was a sub machine gun. Am I to believe some anti-gunners went through the exhaustive and expensive process to become a Class-3 dealer just to make a commercial?

The "dealer" committed at least 8 felony counts under the S.A.F.E. Act, 9 if that actually was a sub-machine gun; but I doubt any of the guns were real.
I bet the customers weren't real, either.

I can't seem to spot these in the video...the law requires both the business licence and the firearms license itself to be displayed where the public can see it. Where are they?

It seems to have worked. This was a stunt to gain publicity and nothing else. Did it do that unchallenged by firearm organisations or firearm owners?

Re: Anti-2nd amendment group sets up fake gun shop in NYC with fake custormers for Ad
If this ad aired in New York I seriously doubt anyone going through the extreme hassle and long waiting period it takes for someone to own a gun would be deterred by this video.If this ad aired in Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky or any other pro-2nd amendment state I seriously doubt the ad deterred anyone from buying a gun.Heck I doubt anyone was deterred by this video.At most this video is circle jerk material for the anti-2nd amendment trash.

So lets see how this works in reality. In Nazi Germany the anti-Jewish propaganda had zero impact because everyone knew the Jewish had been there for ages and none of the crap claimed was even vaguely true. Nobody could possibly take it seriously as it was so obviously wrong.
Could you explain the difference between the gun control stuff we can ignore and which will impact on public opinion?

There's a market for weapons used in famous crimes. If that store were real they'd be fools to charge standard retail for a gun they could mark up if it came with the providence.

Did you notice the customers' faces as he told the stories about each. A real pro-gun person would have called them in it. As though that phony gun shop could have the real guns from Sandy Hook. Pulleaze! [emoji6]

If they had any of the customers fill out forms under false pretenses, they could be charged with identity theft.
I heard all the guns were fakes.

If the NRA wants to do any good: stop calling me for money. Do add campaigns like this.

This as is meant to deter gun owners by trying to guilt them.The targeted demographic of this video are potential gun owners, not ant-2nd amendment loons. This isn't a "guns scare me so much they make be piss my panties so lets ban guns" video.

Re: Anti-2nd amendment group sets up fake gun shop in NYC with fake custormers for Ad
Yes it is.
It is propaganda, it has no intellectual message. Guilt is not an objective of gun control. Hate and fear are.
The message is do something or this could happen in your neighbourhood. Do you want just anybody to walk in and buy one of these scary dangerous killing things. Look how easy it is to set up a shop anywhere. Criminals can walk in here and buy one. All of these are designed to accord with gun controls scare tactic claims and reinforce them.
Look at the visual message, what is that saying and do not intellectualise.
