If this is true & gun prices are cheap right now, which I doubt, its called supply & demand.

The supply would be greater than the demand therefore lowering prices.

Now don't get me wrong, it doesn't have to be black. White or red is nice too.

I even got a chuckle from an ad for The Officers Answer, I think it would have been better ad copy if it read "The Answer to Police Officers" but thats just me. Now the ad that went beyond the pale. The full page ad for "Cheaper Than Dirt" Americas Ultimate Shooting Sports Discounter where it is "Simply a click to buy at cheaper than dirt prices.

Our airwaves and other media are not infested with ads for smoking or tobacco products. I think this is a place to start in the long battle to get gun fire out of American life and can't see that a advertising ban on guns, gun paraphenia and ammo has any problem with either the 2nd Ammendment or even the !st. Who agrees with this?
I think the only guns that should be protected or allowed to be advertised are the types of firearms that existed in 1775 - flintlocks.

This should also be the only class of firearms allowed to be carried with a permit. That would cut crime to the bone.

Really? I assume because you believe that the Bill of Rights only applies to technologies that existed at the time it was ratified. So then I also assume that the you believe that following is true.

You agree that there is no right to free speech on Radio, Television, or the Internet. That the Government can remove entire reports from any of those channels without any form of redress, or it can promote a State religion (or suppress any religion) using those channels.

You agree that there is no problem having DHS, BATFE, FBI, ICE, the Police, CIA, NSA, etc. quartered in your home (without your agreement), since the 3rd Amendment only applies to soldiers in time of peace, or in war except as prescribed by law.

You agree that the government has a right to unlimited phone tapping, access to your personal data on optical, magnetic or solid state memory storage (regardless of whether this is in your possession or hosted remotely), and can have free and unfettered access to your internet browsing history and Email.

You agree that the government could confiscate the rights and any profits to any intellectual property for no reason, since the only protection afforded is to private property.

You agree that the government could inflict on anyone in custody any psychoactive drugs in a means to obtain information, or to use any form of coercion that can be identified as only being if use post 1791, and cruel and unusual punishment at the time could not have included these practices.

If you do not agree with any of the above, then why not? What makes the 2nd Amendment so different from any of the other amendments?

I'm also bemused by the statement that only allowing Flintlocks would cut crime to the bone, how would it? Would it stop burglaries, muggings, rapes, robberies or even the use of modern firearms in commission of a crime? If so how?
