Big Media puts a hard clamp down on RKBA ads.

Best chance of overcoming censorship is to link RKBA to the various protected groups or people.

--Pink Pistols and NRA standing hand in hand would be really hard to turn down.
--Surviving spouses or children of 9-11 massacre asking if gun control really was a good idea.
--Survivors of a home invasion where guns were locked up or otherwise not available.

A flat out pro-RKBA message will get nowhere. The message will have to be piggybacked on some media-favored group or issue making the media outlet suspectable to charges of uncaring, bigotry, hatred, or any other media favored bilge.
