Bloomberg anti-gun ad drawing attention
NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -A new public service announcement released by an anti-gun group created by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gone viral. Part of the attention drawn to the video is the mixed message, some say, it is drumming up.
The video by Everytown for Gun Safety is intended to show the dangers of guns in the hands of domestic abusers, but the victim, a woman, is seen helpless because she has no gun to protect herself.
The woman is home alone with her child and calls 911 after her ex-husband breaks into the house.
“Please! My son is here. You need to come now," says the woman. The man then picks up the child, says he’s taking him and then points a gun at the woman as he opens fire.
Bloomberg has been a heavy critic of lax gun laws across the country. Everytown for Gun Safety wants to encourage people to contact their legislators about the need for tougher gun laws.
