The Arms Room ads dropped by Comcast
The Arms Room indoor range and retail store located in League City had some ads running with Comcast, but due to the recent backlash against guns and its owners; Comcast has decided to drop the ads. To me that sounds like hypocrisy because not only do they keep airing violent movies and tv shows, but they also block The Arms Room first amendment. I call for everyone to call Comcast and tell them what you think and if y'all can...drop their service just to show support to our second amendment rights. Check out the Arms Room Facebook page to get more details. Molon Labe!

Ummmm. No. The First Amendment doesn't apply to private companies. Private companies can choose to allow or not allow what advertising they want.jvalle1911 wrote:....they also block The Arms Room first amendment.

Re: The Arms Room ads dropped by Comcast
I just dropped Commiecast today. I'm tired of sending my hard earned money to people pushing a political agenda. If the Arms Room's money is no good to them, then neither is mine. It's terrible because they really provide the only good internet services in my area, but I decided to do without. Looks like I'll be using a Sprint hotspot from here on out.
