I will post ("ASK.COM") "code [and mantra] and their "anti gun, knife, weapon, etc ad nauseum "banter" here.... I would pull any ad I had with them, whether rich or poor.
Feel free to "pass on your sentiments" to ask.com as I tried to resolve this like a gentleman, and they insist on being "grossly anti american, anti freedom and anti free speech."
I am editing this down, as the general "theme" does not change...
After speaking with my Editorial Team, they have informed me that your ads have been rejected due to the fact that they are not meeting the Editorial Guidelines below:
* Sites that offer or promote automatic weapons, military-style assault weapons, or parts or accessories of these weapons are not acceptable. Sites that promote or distribute "firearms" or "destructive devices" as defined in the National Firearm Act or the Gun Control Act are not acceptable. Sites offering or promoting switchblades, automatic knives, tactical knives and edge weapons are generally not acceptable.
* Sites offering or promoting antique guns, swords and other weapons for display (and not for use) are acceptable.
* Sites that provide assistance for making explosive devices are not acceptable.
* Sites that offer or distribute fireworks, pyrotechnic or other devices are not acceptable.

Dear David,
Thanks for getting back to me!
Unfortunately, our Editorial Team does not determine the Editorial Guidelines.
You can view them yourself by going to the link provided here: http://asl.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/asl.cfg/php/enduser/resources.php?page=editorial.
Have a great day!

Thank you for asking your "team of geniuses" on editorial about my site.
My website is DEDICATED to SAVING LIVES OF U.S. SOLDIERS, DOES
NOT VIOLATE ANY GUN LAW OF ANY KIND.
Their comments are ill informed and slanderous. I will be sure to pull any advertising
with ASK or affiliated companys until such time somebody actually learns the
Site intent.......
