http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/daily-caller-giving-away-guns-readers-now-election-165925919.htmlThe Daily Caller, the conservative website founded by Tucker Carlson, has launched an unusual publicity stunt to say the least: Now through Nov. 6Election Daythe Washington, D.C.-based site will give away a handgun a week.
The gun giveaway is part of the launch of a "Guns and Gear" section "devoted to Second Amendment issues and firearms product news and reviews."
Each 9mm "FMK 9C1" handgun will be "engraved with the Bill of Rights." The Daily Caller, which is a Yahoo! News partner, plans to give away 25 in all.
"Like most Americans outside Washington, D.C., New York City and most of our nation's news rooms, large numbers of Daily Caller readers love guns," Daily Caller publisher and former Dick Cheney policy adviser Neil Patel said in a release.

I'd laugh in their face if I saw them in person.

All rightwingers would get an acute case of the vapors and scream RACISM!

(40,416 posts)4. Don't they mean "devoted to second amendment solutions"?
As previously recommended by Michelle "Batshit" Bachmann?
Carlson isn't batshit, more pathetic than anything else. But this idea IS batshit.

They are consistent at least.
