The NFL's "Bad Call"

By Bob Owens | 5:35 PM | January 31, 2014

One commercial you won’t see during the 2014 Super Bowl is an ad by gun manufacturer Daniel Defense. The spot, about a Marine Corps veteran who returns home and is determined to defend his home and family the same way he defended his country, was rejected by the NFL. Marty Daniel, president and chief executive officer of Daniel Defense, throws down the challenge flag.

Watch the video, and note that the 72-year-old widow far prefers an AR-15 for home-defense over a pistol, as it is a vastly superior platform in most scenarios.

Note also that the NFL allowed Mayors Against Illegal Guns to run an ad during the last Super Bowl, but refuses to allow those of us who support the entire Constitution the same opportunity.

It rather clearly informs us which side of the issue they’re on, doesn’t it?
