Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- In the video below, the Weatherproof Roofing and Exteriors company is offering guns as an inducement for purchasing their products. With the final payment for a roof replacement and exterior repairs due to a hail or wind storm, you get a “free” gun.

As with all promotions, the “free” gun is paid for by the customer, one way or another. It is part of the advertising cost of running the business.

But people like to get something substantial in their hands, other than money.  A promotion helps to facilitate transactions where the buyer wants the promotional item, but is not quite willing to purchase it outright. An rifle or shotgun can easily meet that criteria.

From goweatherproof.com:

Why are we giving away AR 15s with every completed roof and exterior home repair? Because it symbolizes, at our core, who we are; True American Patriots. Just like the AR 15 we’re promoting, our roofs are built for Americans, by Americans. We chose the AR 15 for this promotion because, for patriots like us, its true representation is the high cost of freedom we enjoy in these United States.

The natural question is, “Why give an AR 15 to civilians?” The answer is found in the beliefs that shaped our nation by our founding fathers; that a well-armed population is the best defense for protecting your life, liberty and happiness.

The leaders of Weatherproof Roofing & Exteriors are Bible-believing, gun-owning patriots that believe gun ownership is both a privilege and a right.

There is a long history of using guns as incentives to increase sales. When the U.S. was sane, no government permission was required.

Because 'Merica!

Definitely gay: I'm thinking that roofer may be a non-gay guy who just looks gay. What is sure is--it's Canada's fault.

Reminds me of the old George Jones song HOTTER THAN A TWO DOLLAR PISTOL and all of it’s meanings.
