Philly Area Nanny Staters Stricken With Gun Panic, Ban Billboards For Movie 'Hitman'

Philly-area Nannies once again saw something that looked like a firearm, and had a case of Gun Panic.  They continue their war against anything gun related because they refuse to face the real reasons their city is a crime infested hellhole.  Yesterday, it was toy guns, today its billboards with ads for the movie Hitman, based on the video game series (no, I don't know if the consistently awful Uwe Boll directed it). 

IN A CITY with a real-life gun problem, ads glorifying gun violence to sell movies can be particularly sickening. So we're glad to report that some in City Hall are taking it personally and saying, "Enough is enough."

No, you don't have a gun problem, numbnuts.  You have a gang, crime, social and poverty problem in Philly.  I've been thinking about this in a serious way, and I think I understand what the Nanny Staters are.

Nanny Staters can't accept living in a world where Free Will exists and there are consequences to the person who abuses that Free Will, so they'd rather deny Free Will for all than face and condemn those who abuse free will.  Ultimately they believe Free Will is a punishment to humanity, and an unfair burden upon it. 

Billboards and SEPTA bus ads for the movie "Hitman" went up a few weeks ago. They show a man pointing a gun, with a nearly naked woman draped over him.

Ah, they're even trying to appeal to the right wing's Morality Police.  You see what they're doing guys?  If you are concerned about risque content and violence in entertainment, don't fall for this, they'll tie themselves to you and take down what you love with it, you might wanna curb it, but don't let yourself get sucked in to doing it this way.

Bill O'Reilly played along with an anti-Second Amendment zealot on his show, who I should note was harassing a gun store owner and got arrested with Jesse Jackson during a protest, you shouldn't work with them like Bill did.  In fact, you shouldn't be anything like them.  If you read this piece and felt it hit close to home, you may wanna take time and reflect on why it did.

According to Mayor Street's office, some police officers who saw the ads cried foul. Understandable, since many of them had probably just come back from the funeral of Officer Chuck Cassidy, killed by gunshot.

Cassidy was killed by a criminal, who used a gun.  Someone pulled the trigger. 

You notice the interesting disconnect in logic with Nanny Staters, had the  officer been killed by, as an example, say, getting run down with a criminal's car, they wouldn't have written, "killed by a vehicle,"  They would have written something like "the criminal ran down and killed the officer with his car." 

When the crime is committed with the gun, the unnatural disconnect follows, because for the Nanny Stater, its not the criminal's fault for using a gun to kill Officer Cassidy, the gun is simply too convenient and too powerful a means for a criminal to abuse their Free Will. 

The Nanny Staters cannot destroy Free Will, so they must do the next best thing, which is destroy the means to channel Free Will, and a firearm, whether its used for benevolent or malevolent purpose, is a powerful means to enact Free Will.

In a sense, the weapon is irrelevent, its not the firearm, its Free Will they are at war with, and that is why they hate weapons so much, even something as benign as a cap gun or a billboard, because a weapon and its use is one of the most powerful expressions of Free Will.  Next to free speech and thought, it probably is the most powerful expression of Free Will, and even something like a toy or billboard can be a reminder of that, that is why they fear them.

But we think the mayor and Clear Channel deserve credit for pushing back against the cultural tsunami of images that romanticize and sexualize gun violence - and leave the rest of us to clean up the real-life blood.

We'd like to thank Big Brother for working to liberate us from the cruel burden Free Will inflicts on us, and an Official Nanny State Pat On The Head(ONSPOTH) for Clear Channel for being nice little doggies and rolling over when asked.
