‘Gun shop’ wasn’t only thing fake in CeaseFire ‘social experiment’ PSA
Examiner ^ | 5/27/15 | David Codrea

Posted on 05/27/2015 8:58:20 AM PDT by Nachum

Per my report published Friday at The Shooter’s Log, actors were used to portray customers in a fake gun shop “public service announcement” produced by States United Against Gun Violence. That information comes from the New York City Mayor's Office of Media in its response to a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request submitted in March. Additionally, all replica firearms used were evidently “authorized” without official documentation to ensure legality and inventory accountability. Except, per the NYC permit, the "gun buyers" were actors... States United to Prevent Gun Violence-You Tube video screen shot

“Actors are interviewed on camera in a fake gun store,” the permits’ scene descriptions reveal. It had previously been known that the “gun store proprietor” behind the counter was an actor -- and one who has previously made a living glorifying fake “gun violence” -- but up until now, speculation on if the “customers” were also plants has been just that. By presenting their “PSA” as a “social experiment” recorded by "hidden cameras," viewers have been encouraged to conclude that minds were changed about buying a gun based on CeaseFire’s compelling arguments against owning them.

It also appears that records and permits were not obtained for the fake gun store’s “inventory.” Noting the complexity of special theatrical permit requirements for applicants and dealers, and restrictive New York laws on imitation firearms, it’s surprising to find a fake gun shop can be set up containing hundreds of replica weapons with no paperwork, apparently on just the say-so of on-site NYPD officers. That is, assuming the FOIL reply was completely responsive.

In any reputable gun store, the clerk would have first corrected EVERY “customer” having their finger on the trigger.

This “research” on changing attitudes toward guns sounds a lot like the “research” on changing attitudes toward homosexuality. Liberals disgust me.

Everything about the left reeks of lies and deception. It’s who and what they are...
