THIS LOCAL GUN AD WAS BANNED BY COMCAST — AND WE FOUND IT’S A NEW WIDESPREAD POLICY

Comcast, which recently acquired NBC Universal, has quietly decided to remove advertisements promoting firearms from its cable network, and gun retailers aren’t happy about it.

A Michigan company that handles the advertising for Michigan-based Williams Gun Sight and Outfitters contacted TheBlaze regarding the change, stunned that it couldn’t re-air a commercial they played last fall due to the new policy.

John Kupiec, president of the advertising agency Canadian American Corp., told us over the phone Monday that when they recently tried to buy ad time, a Comcast representative informed them that as of February 8 of this year, the network would no longer accept advertising from companies promoting firearms or fireworks on any network, during any time period.

    Well, advertisement isn't necessary in this climate; there are none available, and the waiting list is forever! Thanks, Obama! Try to buy one of these and some 556 ammo to go along with it these days! It's "Not Available", or available at 2x price from November.

    8:04 While that may be true locally, in store, you can still find everything you need at pre-panic pricing. AR's can be had for $800 complete, even less if you build your own. Both Walmarts in sby have been receiving 5.56 American, you just have to be there between 7-8am.

    In regards to the article, I already don't have Comcast, but I will block all NBC stations as well. I switched insurance once GEICO took their stance, and I will continue changing my spending to not give a single dollar to any business that looks down on law abiding gun owners.

    Me thinks that you are full of beans.

    Last I heard and unless Walmart changed policy, they will not be ordering ammunition until things settle down in regards to gun bans and whatever other reason they cited.

    If you can find a complete AR-15 for $800.00 dollars, you better jump on it.

    You would be lucky to make one for $800.00, let alone cheaper than that.

    But please, prove me wrong and head me in the right direction to find these prices you quote.

    Peace.
