Comcast pulls local stores’ commercials over gun policy

Comcast is slowly but surely erasing guns from all its advertising, and shop owners in Georgia and New Jersey 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.
