Jason Kander, democratic nominee for Missouri's senate race, released a campaign ad not too long ago. In the video, he appears blindfolded and assembles an AR-15 rifle, without messing up. The video went viral within days. Kander's message was clear; he supports the 2nd Amendment, but also thinks that there should be background checks for those who buy guns. His ad was very powerful in my opinion, because it showed that he knows how to use a gun, and he's been trained to know the inner workings of a gun. I would not be afraid if he held a gun in front of me. Which makes you realize that most of the people purchasing guns are not trained like Kander. Soldiers aren't the only ones buying guns, so there's people out there who don't know how to use their guns, and that can be so incredibly dangerous. Also Kander made a smart move in releasing such a viral video, because he just had to upload it once, and then the media took over. The media began talking about it, and putting it on all their platforms. All Kander had to do is release the video, and now he's talked about all over the country.
