Why am I seeing anti gun ads?

Title says it all
Ad says 690 gun deaths in Kentucky last year
By everytown research. Just doesn't seem like an ad that fits this audience

If memory serves, Spark signs up for an ad service. They pay money and load the ads. Spark doesn't actually have anything to do with choosing which ads get run. Except I think he does get to require that they be family friendly.
 
I think the ad software reads your browsing history/cookies and feeds you applicable ads.

All I get is hearing aid ads, bras and some other stuff I can't post here.
 
This AM I see ads for Best Buy, Gearbest, and The Irish Store.

Funny thing is I've seen a fair number of knife ads for non supporting vendors. I would guess that's part of the algorithm to try and feed the people on the site similar interests.
