Twitter Ends Pro-Second Amendment Ad Campaign

Source: Daily Caller

Twitter has put an end to a pro-Second Amendment ad campaign aimed at gathering signatures for a petition against an initiative to have background checks on ammo sales in California.

The Coalition for Civil Liberties ran an ad that said, “Sign our petition: tell @gavinnewsom you value your Second Amendment rights. #2A” for two weeks before Twitter ended the campaign Tuesday, according to a member of Capitol Media Partners, who were responsible for the ad campaign.

Dave McCulloch, Digital Strategy Director at CMP, told The Daily Caller that when they asked what happened and why the ad ended, the social media giant said it was because of “bad business practices” without further explanation.

The CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) was established in 1903 to promote shooting skills. Still going strong, the CMP conducts marksmanship competitions, and sells rifles and ammunition.

Both ammunition and rifles can be ordered from CMP and they will be delivered to your home. Not many businesses can legally ship rifles to homes.

I guess the use of "CMP" is not limited to one business.



P.S. For rifle sales, "the" CMP runs the background check on the buyer before shipment.
