'Anchorman' Director Adam McKay Partners with Brady
Campaign to Push Gun Control

Anchorman and Talladega
Nights director Adam McKay is partnering
with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence to
shame Congress into supporting more gun control.
He is doing so via a "parody video" which mocks
pro-Second Amendment Congressional members, referring to them as gun lobby
"lap dogs."
According to The Hollywood
Reporter, a website--lapdogscorecard.org--will also be part of
the push. It will "list specific members of Congress that the Brady Campaign says took money from the gun lobby in
exchange for blocking legislation to expand background checks." The
four biggest targets for McKay and the Brady Campaign are House Speaker John
Boehner (R-OH), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Sens. Marco
Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX).
In the video, members
of Congress who stood for the Second Amendment are depicted as "lap
dogs" that will sit, roll over, lie down, etc, in exchange for a treat.
The "treat," in this instance, is money from the "gun
lobby." The video suggests that Congressmen who fought against expanded
background checks were actually fighting against measures to keep guns out of
the hands of "rapists and other criminals."
The video does not mention that we currently have a
background check system and that Nidal Hasan (2009 Fort Hood gunman), Jared
Laughner (2011 Tuscon gunman), James Holmes (2012 Aurora Theater gunman), Aaron
Alexis (Sept. 2013 DC Navy Yard gunman), Paul Ciancia (Nov. 2013 LAX gunman),
Darion Marcus Aguilar (Jan. 2014 Maryland Mall gunman), Ivan Lopez (2014 Fort
Hood gunman), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara gunman), and Jerad and Amanda Miller
(Las Vegas gunman and woman) only acquired their guns after going through
background checks.
