A billboard-sized advertisement for a gun manufacturer that said "yeah, we carry" has been removed from the concourse of a South Carolina airport. he State newspaper reports Saturday that the Columbia Metropolitan Airport's governing commission decided to take it down after receiving complaints.
Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin said the ad featuring eight different guns made by firearms manufacturer FN America is "the wrong ad in the wrong place at the wrong time." A different billboard and a video at the escalators promoting FN America will remain.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
