(ANI):
The
posters
of
latest
James
Bond
flick
Quantum
of
Solace
depicting
a
metre
long
machine
gun,
have
been
criticised
for
glorifying
armed
violence.
After
British
Advertising
Standards
Authority
banned
'Wanted'
posters
in
UK
for
glamorising
the
use
of
guns
and
violence,
the
Anti
Gun
campaigners
want
James
Bond
posters
banned
on
the
same
grounds.
With
the
growing
rate
gun
crime
amongst
the
kids
in
the
UK,
the
campaigners
emphasize
on
the
ban.
"Kids
are
killing
each
other
they
are
shooting
and
stabbing
each
other
and
everyone
has
to
take
responsibility
for
stopping
this." The
Daily
Star
quoted
Lyn
Costello
from
'Mothers
Against
Murder
and
Aggression',
as
saying.
"We
have
not
received
any
complaints
yet,
but
if
we
do
then
there
is
a
process
that
has
to
be
followed,"
an
Advertising
Standards
Authority
spokesman
said.
However
the
James
Bond
flick
company
Sony
Pictures
did
not
comment
on
the
whole
issue.
