NRA spot: Don't let Barrett 'recall' gun rights
The NRA is running a TV ad that plays off the old “this is your brain on drugs” public service announcements to slam Tom Barrett’s record on guns.
The spot opens with a shot of a black frying pan as the narrator says, “This is Wisconsin politics.” An image of protests around the Capitol last year appears in the bottom of the frying pan. A hand holding an egg appears and the narrator says, “This is your brain” before the egg is cracked into the frying pan and the narrator adds, “This is your brain after the politicians scream nonstop for two years.”
The spot then switches to video of a hunter holding a rifle as the narrator says, “This is your freedom.” The rifle then disappears as the narrator says, “This is your freedom if Tom Barrett gets the chance to recall your gun rights. Any questions?”
The narrator says Barrett has an “F” rating from the NRA as the spot concludes, “Don’t let Tom Barrett recall your gun rights.”
An NRA spokesman says the ad is running statewide on cable through June 4.
