Comcast is slowly but surely erasing guns from all its advertising, and shop owners in Georgia are the latest to be told their ads will be pulled if they don’t take out all reference to weapons.
Ray Reynolds owns United Loan and Firearms, a pawn shop in Augusta. He told the Augusta Chronicle on Monday he was notified last week that his ads would be pulled from the local Comcast cable station unless he took out all references to guns — including in his shop name.
“What really got me was when they said that we had enough name recognition that we could get by with just saying United Loan,” Reynolds told the Chronicle. “They were going to actually make us eliminate ‘Firearms’ from our name.”
Reynolds said he has advertised with Comcast for several years. A United Loan and Firearms ad uploaded to YouTube a month ago runs 47 seconds long, and guns are visible inside the shop for about 17 seconds.
