Pamela Gorman shoots a gun. Ariz. Republican fires guns in ad

Arizona Republican congressional candidate Pamela Gorman shoots four separate firearms, including an automatic rifle, in her latest ad.

The ad splices together glamour shots of Gorman, a state senator, with her firing off rounds in the Arizona desert.


“This year a lot of folks think this is our best shot at changing Congress,” the narrator of the ad says. “Course that all depends on the caliber of our candidates.”

The ad then cuts from a shot of Gorman standing with her hair blowing in the wind to her firing a Thompson submachine gun, the favorite weapon of Chicago mobsters and FBI agents in the 1930s, into the desert.

“Meet Pamela Gorman, candidate for Congress in Arizona-03,” the narrator says. “Conservative Christian and a pretty fair shot.”

Later Gorman shoots two separate pistols and an assault rifle. And in one shot she is even instructing a boy how to fire a gun.

The ad goes on to tout her 100 percent rating from the National Rifle Association.

Gordon is competing against a half-dozen other Republicans in the North Phoenix district’s GOP primary for an open seat vacated by Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.).
