Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As long as you're writing legislators, drop a line to Comcast! Gun shop owners are miffed that Comcast has decided to stop accepting firearms-related ads on its nationwide cable television network. Tom Wright, owner of Williams Gun Sight in Davison, Mich., said he'll take his advertising business elsewhere. "I thought it was ridiculous; we are a legitimate business, we have been here for 80 years," he told ABC12. Wright said Comcast last week rejected his request through an ad agency to rerun a 30-second ad a spot that it ran last fall on local cable television. "Obviously, this is an attempt on the part of Comcast to help promote an anti-gun agenda," the gun accessories company said on its facebook page. "Williams is encouraging all of our customers and friends to voice your concerns directly with your local Comcast provider and consider cancelling your subscription." Eric Elliott of VIP Marketing told The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., that he wanted to buy local spots on the night of Feb. 12, coinciding with the presidential State of the Union address, to advertise "ladies night" at the ATP Gunshop and Range in Summerville, S.C. He said he was informed by Comcast that the ads would not be accepted due to the new policy. Full article here Link to comment
