has a policy of denying to carry ads that promote the sale of firearms. They are in the private sector and that is their option. However, sometimes their algorithms used are lacking.<\/p>\n<p>A case in point is my friend Professor David Yamane who publishes the Gun Culture 2.0 blog. He had <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/16\/facebook-denied-my-attempt-at-self-promotion-because-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an ad denied by Facebook&#8217;s faceless minions<\/a> because they thought it promoted the sale of firearms and other weapons. He was advertising a link to his report on the USCCA&#8217;s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/11\/uscca-concealed-carry-expo-firearms-and-fashion-show-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Concealed Carry Fashion Show<\/a> held in conjunction with their expo in Atlanta. They had previously accepted <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/08\/bushmaster-is-the-worst-marketer-in-the-history-of-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an advertisement for his blog<\/a> that was titled, &#8220;Bushmaster is the Worst Marketer in the History of Guns.&#8221; David said, with his tongue firmly in his cheek, that Bushmaster was bad at advertising since so few of its firearms (or any AR-15) were used in homicides.<\/p>\n<p>This is ridiculous. Just like <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/01\/uscca-concealed-carry-expo-final-day-brief-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/04\/who-is-the-gun-industry-observations-from-the-uscca-concealed-carry-expo-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">series<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/06\/who-is-the-gun-industry-a-worms-eye-view-from-the-uscca-concealed-carry-expo-part-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posts <\/a>on the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/03\/who-is-the-gun-industry-on-the-ground-at-the-uscca-concealed-carry-expo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gun<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/gunculture2point0.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/07\/who-is-the-gun-industry-north-carolina-people-at-the-uscca-concealed-carry-expo-part-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">industry <\/a>which highlighted the fact that the gun industry isn&#8217;t just the Rugers and Smith &amp; Wessons, this post doesn&#8217;t promote the sale of any product.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg plans a series of meetings with conservatives. Perhaps he needs to go to the next USCCA Expo in Ft. Worth or this weekend&#8217;s NRA Annual Meeting to see that the gun industry isn&#8217;t just guns.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook has a policy of denying to carry ads that promote the sale of firearms.
