If he'd have just stopped 1/2 way through, it would'a been
a good ad. The "Mobile Home" ad at the same LINK is even
weirder......

Since the vast majority of "Arab Muslim's" are Caucasian, there is nothing "racist" about this ad at all. You really need to learn what RACISM is; it is NOT having a bias against a particular religious group.
Under the Constitution of the United States of America, unless you have been convicted of a felony; or have been adjudged to be mentally deficient either mentally retarded or mentally ill), you have an absolute right to purchase and own a firearm.
There are approximately 100 million "guns" of various types scattered all over the 50 States. Considering the vast numbers, and that the vast majority of gun related crimes are committed by people that do NOT have the legal right to have possession of a weapon, the rate of crime with legaly held firearms is actually very, very low.
I realize to that many Canadians, the absolute right to anything is scary, but you actually are very safe in visiting the USA. We will not shoot you, just for the sake of shooting you.

Long before the age of the Internet and the fleeting spasms of mass hysteria that came with it (Remember Jade Helm? Pizzagate?), and going back to the late 20th century, when irrational fears moved slower and lasted longer, there was Satan.
The “satanic panic,” some call it now. It began some time in the 1980s, when newscasters and fundamentalist Christian cartoons warned of the evils of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, and stretched into the 1990s, when police and psychiatrists saw thousands of unfounded accusations of ritualistic sex abuse and children were seized from British parents accused of devil worship.
One case still stands
“This country hasn’t seen anything like it since the Salem witch trials,” Texas Monthly wrote in 1994, in a profile of Dan and Fran Keller, operators of a daycare in Austin, Texas, who had been thrown in prison two years earlier.
The Kellers had been convicted of sexual assault in 1992. Children from their daycare centre accused them, variously, of serving blood-laced Kool Aid; wearing white robes; cutting the heart out of a baby; flying children to Mexico to be raped by soldiers; using Satan’s arm as a paintbrush; burying children alive with animals; throwing them in a swimming pool with sharks; shooting them; and resurrecting them after they had bee
They were hardly the only people to be accused by children during the panic. Many were exonerated long ago, like the 20 people wrongly convicted in the infamous Kern County sex abuse cases. Some now blame the phenomenon on “a quack cadre of psychotherapists who were convinced that they could dig up buried memories through hypnosis,” as Radley Balko wrote in a column for the Washington Post.
But the Kellers suffered for decades.
They served nearly 22 years in prison before a court released them in 2013, after years of work by journalists and lawyers to expose what proved to be a baseless case against them.
