Related: About this forumTwitter Ends Pro-Second Amendment Ad Campaign
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.

Well, we've seen that the same people that don't like the 2nd aren't too fond of the 1st either.

but Twitter is being censorious assholes. That is if it is true, I'll wait until I see it in a not partisan rag.

No surprise there. They're perfectly happy to see any amendment infringed that they don't personally agree with, until it's their ox being gored.
Then they squeal like truckload of Hampshires on their way to market.

have demonstrated an absolute lack of respect for all other rights. They cannot be trusted, they should not be trusted.
