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?
Of course if they were giving away condoms with children’s RC cars the store would be applauded throughout the media.
Our local Head Start (yes, Head Start) does a rifle raffle every year!
(Psssst, don’t tell them in Washington!)
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?”
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.
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”
Here in Boise a local car dealer has been having a “Buy a truck, get a gun” deal for years.
Agreed. It just ticks me off when American businesses don’t appreciate their customers’ values.
When they don’t respect them, they go out of business.
Simple and straight.
