Super Bowl commercial against 2nd amendment rights!

Postby DW44VH » Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:03:04

There is to be a commercial (Bloomberg) against the 2nd amendment rights during the SuperBowl Game.

Make sure to change channels.

As far as I know, it is to be around 1/2 time.

I just saw the commercial. It's beyond stupid. Here we have a mayor advocating for illegal firearms to be reported yet our own President/Attorney General sign off on Fast and Furious. His commercial almost doesn't make sense.

Carry well and carry proud,

I don't think DirecTV aired it. I did a rewind back past when Rick said he saw it... never aired on my broadcast!

Are you on Richmond or DC local channels? Richmond NBC aired a local commercial for Sheltering Arms. It should be noted that NBC and Fox are owned by the Sinclair Group in Richmond... if that has anything to do with it. Didn't Fox just say "no" to all gun commercials?

ETA: That part about Sinclair Group might no longer be true...

The commercial is not played every where..It only in the liberal North east-NO point spending money pushing Propaganda on people who already have it against them for the gun control agenda --! I refused to watch the game --I know My .00001 % wont even make the needle quivver But I stand by My convictions -!

The ad aired only in the DC market. The target was federal politicians, not the general public.
