If you made it this far, happy April Fools’ Day! The Glock 47 is not a real product (to our knowledge) so please, please, please don’t bug Glock about it.

No, FR is not trying to quash satire. However, it should be clearly labeled as such in the title. Some people seem to think it’s great trickling our readers into falling for satire. It’s not. A lot of people come to FR and scan the headlines clicking on articles of interest. If they’re not familiar with the author or source, they may be misled and may even pass it on to others. No thanks.

If you post satire, please label it as “satire’ in the title.

The date on the article WAS April 1.

And for anyone who knows anything about guns, the statement “The 9x19mm carry crowd is significant, that is true,” continued Otrepyev, “but the number of American men and women who rely on 9x18mm Makarovs to protect their families and homes is much greater.” was a dead give-away.
