I totally forgot about those ads but they were probably effective.

But something paralleling the more recent ads about how to live (and die) with the consequences of smoking might be helpful too.

I left grad school in 68.

Every time I've gone to Germany I've been stunned at how much people smoke. I hadn't realized how much smoking had died out in US until I went to Europe.

let's bring this to someone with money!!!!!!

She was able to use her physical and emotional pain to try to save our youth. We need similar stories from survivors of gun violence.

Was the result of very effective public policy.

We should limit gun advertising, including trade associations, expand the use of PSAs, and consider increasing taxes, by state if necessary, on weapon purchases.

Bringing back the "assault weapon ban" could also help. Gun manufacturers know how to market their "product" to kids by dressing up guns with added on stuff just like cig companies did with promotions like Joe Camel.

It's got to stop.

It's generally understood that the deranged old fart who owns the place just hates the competition. Still, if you want a gun store owner to make an anti-gun ad on the horrors of gun shows, Bill Carter is your guy. Somebody in a position to make the ad should approach him.
