There's not even a gun in the video.....just a firearms company mentioned at the end.
Silly, narrow-minded BASTARDS!!! >:(
Story here:
http://bearingarms.com/video-the-offensive-daniel-defense-super-bowl-ad-banned-by-the-nfl/
Guns & Ammo is reporting that the National Football League is refusing to air a Super Bowl commercial emphasizing personal responsibility, family security, and fundamental rights. The 62-second ad features no firearms, and Daniel Defense was willing to swap out the company’s rifle logo at the end of the ad with an American flag.
Though the ad complies will all league rules and regulations, the league considers the ad to be too offensive to air.
I’d like to ask the NFL: which specific part of the ad is objectionable?
Is it the language?
Father: It’s been a long road getting here, and a lot has changed since I got back.
Now this is the center of my world, and my family’s safety is my highest priority.
I am responsible for their protection, and no one has the right to tell me how to defend them.
…so I’ve chosen the most effective tool for the job.
Announcer: Daniel Defense. Defending your nation. Defending your home.
I can find nothing objectionable in language of the father in the commercial, who echos the language of the Founding Fathers themselves. Nor is it objectionable to note than Daniel Defense manufactures products use by both the nation’s military and private citizens in home defense, unless the National Football League intends to ban all ads from various branches of the the United States military, and those of private security services and alarm companies.
There is nothing objectionable in the video imagery of a man coming home to hug his wife and child, unless the NFL finds it offensive that a Marine Corps veteran is successful, has a beautiful wife and baby, a recent model vehicle, and a nice home.
There is nothing objectionable in a message of personal responsibility and the defense of those whom we hold most dear… unless the NFL is repulsed by the idea of personal responsibility and defending our most basic human rights.
I know not what route others may take, but I can live a long and happy life without watching another National Football League game where spoiled millionaires play a game to make spoiled billionaires even more rich.
Super Bowl Sunday?
It’s just another great day to go to the range.

But you'll still watch the games and support your local member of this leftist dominated corporation.
Mean while you badmouth the largest gun dealer in America, Wal Mart.

I haven't watched an NFL football game in over ten years....overpaid whiners IMHO.
And wal-mart sucks....just because, well, they suck.......gun sales be damned.
For example, our local wal-mart has a food collection box at the front of the store collecting for needy families.
Do you know who the needy families are?
Wal-mart employees.
Yep, that's what it says on the sign.

Don't want to offend those who like to partake in adult libations, but I have to wonder how many deaths and injuries will result from the use of the beer that will dominate the the advertising time on Super Bowl Sunday, vs how many will be killed/injured by firearms during that same time period. Just saying. :o

I've gone to talking about car violence because there are people that do use vehicles as weapons (Ed Head even said in a car jacking forget drawing, drive). I've survived a fatal wreck and been hit biking. Knowing cars 11,000X the potential .45 has that's the weapon people should be concerned with.

None of this NFL nonsense surprises me in the least. What DOES surprise me is that Daniel Defense can AFFORD a full 60 second advertising slot during the Super Bowl. This year a 30 SECOND ad will run between $3.7 to $3.8 MILLION. So for a full one minute ad you're looking at least $5,000,000.00, (read $5 MILLION). That's a lot of coin for a gun company to fork out. I guess those $300.00 rails they put on their guns are costing them much less to produce than I thought! Imagine how many AR-15's they have to sell just to break even on an advertisement that costly.

Keep in mind Billt that companies like Daniel Defense have government contract dollars that have been flowing in. The civilian market has been a very small part of their portfolio, and they have the dollars to spend as they look at the coming years of selling less to the military and more to civilians.

If they have military contracts, they can't be that large. As I have it, the 3 companies that have M-16 contracts with the government military are Colt, F.N., and just recently, Remington. I think D.D. is a small supplier for Special Ops. and the like.

Every maker of these firearms is benefiting. If you can manufacture milspec parts you benefit from being able to supply the need to the assemblers. This is how DPMS started, grew, and continues to do well. Randy started his business as nothing more than an organizer and coordinator for small businesses with the ability to meet portions of government contracts. Pretty soon he was making firearms, and on to supplying the government. Last time I had the opportunity to tour this facility there was a large area obscured by black plastic sheeting to keep us out of a secure area.

I knew you were generalizing. ;D ;D
I just included your quote to clarify my own position.......(sometimes missed with typewritten words).
And I never miss an opportunity to bash the necessary evil known as wal-mart..... there is no gravity on walmart property.....the place sucks enough to hold things down. ;D

If I remember correctly, that is how Stag Arms was started. They were a "spinoff" of Continental Machine Tool. If you pull apart a Stag Arms gun, the bolts are most always stamped CMT. I've seen them in some Colt's as well.
