An anti-gun group called "States United to Prevent Gun Violence" recently set up a fake gun shop and installed hidden cameras to film the interactions between the potential buyers and man posing as a firearms dealer.

The people who entered the store all seemed to be interested in acquiring a firearm in order to protect themselves and their families. Instead, upon being shown the weapons they were given a tongue-in-cheek lecture during which the phony dealer told the interested party that the gun in question was a model that had killed children or was a brand of weapon that had been involved in a mass shooting.

The video entitled "Guns With a History" is just the latest in a series of videos by the group, intended to turn viewers against firearm ownership.

Of course by focusing on gun incidents that rarely occur the group's message is intended to convince Americans that these occurrences are the norm and discourage them from purchasing a weapon, even if that weapon is being purchased to defend their family.

It is not clear where the group gets its funding, but being able to rent a location, purchase dozens of guns and convince people that they are in a legitimate store, suggests these guys have some serious money behind them.
