I don't think there's really a law against cigarette companies advertising on TV. I think it's like how condom ads were viewed, the networks just wouldn't run them. Probably the same reason with guns.
Cheers.
Some things Timmy are just not ''PC'' - and guns I am sure are certainly in that category.
The ''powers that be'' who decide what ad's will air - are possibly pretty much anti's anyways I'll bet - plus knowing the viewer ''sheeple'' ratio, there'd probably be a major storm if gun ad's appeared.
Must say tho the Outdoor Channel maybe could get away with it.

There is no law banning advertising because the Outdoor Channel does a good chunk of the time.
Your turn again, Timmy...wanna go "Hit Man Ads for $80"?
Actually, cigarette ads are in fact illegal on tv. The Feds officially banned cigarette ads from television on January 1, 1971.
I don't know but 24 is pretty good advertisement for Heckler and Koch
Do you know how much it costs for a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl?:aargh4:Quote:

It's a breath of fresh aire to see firearm and ammo commercials on the outdoor channel. :yup:
My mistake:spankme: I haven't handled either the Sig or the H&K much more than at the storeQuote:
