Car dealers in Missouri and Florida have also conducted very profitable gun promotions.
I think RadioShack is just stepping into the buzz saw by trying to strong arm this dealer into political correctness. We Americans like our guns and our rights. We don't like big Corporations who promote the culture war against the Constitution.

Sheesh, this Radio Shack is crazy. All they’re doing is promoting more gun violence. I think the government should come in and shut them down cold, for the good of the public.

Wasn’t there some guy who was giving away Barrett .50 BMG’s with the purchase of a Dodge Viper?
To: marktwain
Of course if they were giving away condoms with children’s RC cars the store would be applauded throughout the media.

Whenever you refer to political correctness,
it would be preferable to also refer to it by its original name
“cultural Marxism”. This is not a disparaging term, but the actual term that the originators used. They were smart enough, though, to know that any reference to Marxist beliefs would get some “push back” to say the least.

I used to live in Montana. Gun ownership is very high ~80% of households. Burglary of occupied dwellings is also very low. Coincidence???
They also have open carry and concealed carry without a permit under many circumstances (outside city limits and engaged in any activity in which personal protection might be necessary.)
I was walking down the street in Helena once carrying a newly purchased Springfield M1A. A city police car stopped abruptly, the two officers jumped out and said, “Dude, nice piece! May I look at it?”

Here is what gummint motors is giving away when you buy a Volt, for the driver's protection, {in addition to $7,500 of our tax dollars}.

Posted on the 1st but published on the 31st, so presumably not an April Fool’s joke. My immediate reaction is that their markup on satellite dishes must be unconscionable if they can afford to do this.

Guns are legal. Ownership of guns is legal. What's your problem? Guns don't promote violence. Guns allow those confronted with violence to respond in defense of themselves. Now, time for you to head back to DU.
To: marktwain
Maybe they should start giving away Radio Shack products with the purchase of a gun. “Buy a gun and we’ll give you some RadioShack crap to use for target practice”
To: marktwain
Here in Boise a local car dealer has been having a “Buy a truck, get a gun” deal for years.

Uh, I gotta ask. When the two officers jumped out, was the year 1974, and were you wearing a military uniform, and were you getting ready for the 4th of July Parade? I honestly (and respectfully) cannot imagine the scene you descirbed.

Now, time for you to head back to DU. The only possible reason why somebody would want to own a gun would be to kill someone else. All guns should be banned from private ownership IMMEDIATELY. Only the police should be allowed to have guns.
To: KingLudd
No, it was 2004 and I was dressed normally. In Montana, it was common to see persons walking down the street with guns especially during hunting season.

It is sometimes hard to believe how far our liberties and culture have fallen in such a short time. In the 50's people walked around New York with long guns, and no one bothered them. People in New York suburbs shot pistols in target practice in their back yards. Up until 1968, you could buy and anti-tank gun with ammo through the mail, and people did. The wholesale infringement on our liberties has only been going on for a few decades, but it is as though all the past has been put down the memory hole.
