Twitter Ends Pro-Second Amendment Ad Campaign [View all]

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.
