Daniel Defense ad is a "no-go" for Super Bowl

[EMB145]

I was not sure whether to put this in politics or 2A issues.....

Before everybody gets carried away, NFL doesn't allow any firearms ads at all, among other things, so Daniel Defense wasn't singled out.

 

Matter of fact, one commentator asserts the NFL never even saw this ad because it wasn't submitted, though he said NFL said of course it wouldn't have been accepted if it had.

I feel like this came up before. Seems like a non issue to me, though it would be cool seeing what gun companies come up with for Super Bowl commercials.

It did a couple of months ago.  It is what it is, it's not like there where ever firearms or 2A commercials on TV in pretty much forever.

I've seen some Henry commercials over the last year, but I guess not on the Big Three?

The NFL has come out as very anti-gun. The last controversy was when they said even off duty cops were banned from carrying guns into an NFL stadium. The state of Texas told them that’s a violation of state law.

Those are 30 minute infomercials, at least the one's I'm aware of.  On "cable" only of course.  There are at least two of them.

Didn't we pretty much surmise that it was a ploy by DD to gain some publicity and sales?

That's probably because the players keep embarrassing themselves with them.

After listening to my wife whine about a crappy game and commercials (neither of which I did watch), DD is probably better off.

Didn't let Front Sight air this one as well

thought i read somewhere that there was a commercial with a gun in it...i don't watch football so i have no idea... anyone know? maybe a commercial for a movie or something? 

[Guest TankerHC]

Someone on fb posted several youtube videos of commercials that didn't make it to the Super Bowl. One of the things that surprised me, several actually, was that it isn't all about the money. The biggest companies always get in but lots of big companies have the money but don't get in because of production values, time limits and whatnot. Some of the commercials didn't get in because they ran to long. But whoever was deciding who made it and who didn't screwed up this year. One of Anheiser Busch commercial didn't get in was better than most. Go Daddy had one that didn't make it, quite a few companies. I didn't see it but did anyone see if our commercial made it? The 600,000 dollar commercial the taxpayers paid for the Obamacare promotion. Or was it just another 600,00 we had to throw away?

Captain America The Winter Soldier promo had guns and shooting in it also

The Following season promo also had guns displayed in it

Unless of course it's Hollywood glorifying them, like the "24" ad with Jack Bauer chambering a round in his HK. As long as a celebrity is holding a gun it's OK. But if it's a normal American, that's bad, mkay? 

[A.J. Holst]

Want a counter-point to Hollywood glorifying gun violence? I was watching WWII in Color on the Military Channel.

 

Invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa...human bodies subjected to real explosives and real bullets...

Just one of the many reasons I don't watch the games of the National Felon League.
