Phoenix orders removal of gun-safety signs

The city of Phoenix has ordered the removal of 50 bus shelter signs promoting gun safety.

The 4x6 signs feature a red heart with the words “Guns Save Lives”. Below it is this message: “Arizona says: Educate Your Kids. TrainMeAZ.com”. It also has several paragraphs of smaller type with information about Arizona’s new law allowing anyone to carry a concealed weapon and directions to a website that contains information about where to enroll in firearms safety classes.

Why has Phoenix banned gun safety ads?

October 22nd, 2010 8:54 am ET

"The city of Phoenix, in an apparently arbitrary move and without formal legal process, has forced CBS Outdoors to tear down 50 illuminated bus-shelter billboards under contract to promote gun safety training for children and their parents," gun law author Alan Korwin's email alert begins.

The posters were placed by TrainMeAZ.com, a commercial joint-educational effort of the firearms industry in Arizona, and had been up all over the Phoenix metro area for a little over one week before the city acted.

Phoenix Censors “Gun Safety for Kids”

The city of Phoenix, in an apparently arbitrary move and without formal legal process, has forced CBS Outdoors to tear down 50 illuminated bus-shelter billboards under contract to promote gun safety training for children and their parents.

The posters were placed by TrainMeAZ.com, a commercial joint-educational effort of the firearms industry in Arizona, and had been up all over the Phoenix metro area for a little over one week before the city acted.

Last month a series of ads sporting a heart emblazoned with the words "Guns Save Lives" and copy promoting gun training started appearing on freeway billboards and city-owned bus shelters around Phoenix, Ariz.

After about a week, and without process or notice, the city ordered the bus shelter ads to be torn down.

The ads, funded by a consortium of gun trainers, commercial ranges and interested groups, were too much like a public service announcement and, according to the city, did not "propose a commercial transaction." This despite the fact that a majority of the members of the consortium are commercial operations including trainers, ranges and retail stores.

After this last election, they should figure out that Arizona is fed up with this fascist crap.
I sure hope they can hold the slippery charlatans responsible for this violation of our constitutional rights. but it always seems like these snakes are able to slither off.

Phoenix Refuses Appeal to Reason as ‘Guns Save Lives, Educate Your Kids’ Officially Censored

Glimmer of hope after meeting evaporates as city refuses to budge.

Phoenix, Az --(Ammoland.com)- It’s official. Gun safety has been censored.

After rounds of meetings and phone calls, the city of Phoenix, perhaps prophetically on Election Day, Tue., Nov. 2, passed final judgment and decided that censorship of our bus-stop advertisements would remain final. “Educate Your Kids” with the big red “Guns Save Lives” heart, which they tore down more than a week ago, were deemed unacceptable and would stay down. They blamed CBS Outdoor with the “error” for having put them up.
