It bans gun ads from it's own network. It facilitates ads via third parties who choose to run gun ads.

Ads were only seen after having visited firearm manufacturer websites.

Firearms are a legal, legitimate industry that about half of all Americans participate in, in one form or another.

So is also the porn industry but they don't show you ads.
