"Weapon-related content


Google ads are not permitted to appear on sites that sell, facilitate or advocate the sales of weapons and weapon accessories. This includes but is not limited to the sales of ammunition, gun parts, hardware, pistols, rifles, BB guns, sporting guns, air guns, blow guns, and stun guns. This policy also prohibits the placement of ads on sites which sell explosives, including fireworks.

However, publishers are permitted to place Google ads on sites which discuss the sport of hunting. Also, Google ads may be placed on sites which sell paintball and airsoft guns. In the case of airsoft guns, U.S. law requires sites to have a disclaimer stating that airsoft guns are required to have the top of the barrel (.25") permanently colored in blaze orange."

I did not even know this was breaking thier TOS
Yeah man, you got to be Walt Disney to keep from getting on the wrong side of adsense.

Don't invest too much in building sites for adsense, too much can go wrong!

I went for months with no ads appearing on my sites until I checked into it.
I had forgotten to do one of the steps for the "new" validation process or something.
I had my account long before that stuff was needed and I must have missed an email
telling me to do something about it.
