Radio ads for GUNS !?!?!??!?!?!

[garybeck]

I listen to the radio all the time in the car. Last night, i swear for the first time ever, I heard an add for Smith and Wesson. At the end it said "Smith and Wesson, empowering America."

I am not positive but I think it was during a Boston Red Sox game.

1. Fox sports Midwest gets in the following ads sleays

Some type of betting software, site, or casino

Some type of fire arm training, gun show etc

Some type of men’s attorney needed for a divorce

2. The INSP TV channel, Christian themed, plays lots of Gunsmoke with I think Winchester ads

Might’ve been Smith and Wesson I can’t remember. But it is kind of jarring to see guns advertised on TV I don’t see them on any other of my basic cable channels. We stopped advertising cigarettes years ago.

3. Companies advertise. And S&W is based in Massachusetts

They advertise mostly in industry-related publications, of course, but you can find TV advertising on niche shows.

5. Yeah, industry related publications like KKK Times, Militia Maneuvers, etc.

7. Still pissed that guns are legal, huh?

Well, people like you are why the Smith& Wesson stock I bought last winter is up 23%.

9. Still lovin on your precious gunz and gun profits?

[krispos42]

10. I enjoy my guns and thank you and your side for driving up gun sales

It's nice to see American durable-goods manufacturing doing well.

4. Hard to forget this print ad aimed a gunners. You too can own the rifle that killed kids

at Sandy Hook and elsewhere. But, I guess on radio they have to appeal to gunners’ baser instincts.

6. Does the high cost of security have you blue?

Does the high cost of security have you blue? If so, come by the store and browse through our complete selection of used guns and knives, or find what you need in our mace and tear gas department. Now we understand that many people are hesitant to buy used weapons, but all of Didi's weapons are absolutely guaranteed to kill. Now if you find a weapon here that won't kill, you bring it back and we'll give you something that will. It's on our guarantee: "If Didi's can't kill it, it's immortal.”

8. Hopefully the ad didn't make you buy a rifle and shoot people.

That's the claim some lawyers are making about gun ads.
