Why can't somebody at the TV billing department leak the identity?

Gun-law ad sponsor a mystery
By Mike Soraghan
Denver Post Capitol Bureau
Feb. 16 - Someone out there is angry enough about the defeat of gun-control legislation in Colorado to spend a good chunk of money on advertising.
The question is who?
An advertisement has been running on Denver cable stations since the weekend. The ad shows a bullet piercing a succession of walls in homes. At the end, it is clear the bullet is going to strike a baby in a high chair.
The ad then cuts to a black screen with a message asking that the Colorado Legislature "reopen the debate on gun ownership in Colorado." What it doesn't say is who is paying for the ad.
The groups known to be working on gun control in Colorado say they didn't pay for the ad. That includes SAFE Colorado, Handgun Control Inc., the Bell Campaign, the Colorado Coalition Against Gun Violence and the office of Denver Mayor Wellington Webb.
"I don't know anything about it," said John Head, co-president of SAFE Colorado. "It certainly isn't from SAFE, or I'd know about it."
Attempts to find out who paid for the ad on AT&T Broadband, formerly TCI Cable, were unsuccessful Tuesday.
The National Rifle Association, which has been successfully battling gun-control legislation, says it's baffled by the ads. Most of all, the NRA is curious why no one is taking credit.
"Generally, people who do these advertisements are proud of them," NRA spokesman Jim Manown said.
He found it odd that the ad doesn't urge viewers to do anything, such as call their legislators or write a letter.
"In our experience, there's got to be a call to action," he said.
Most gun-control bills introduced in the Colorado Legislature this year have been defeated. Most of the gun measures that are left have been endorsed by the NRA.
