Gun dealers are marketing weapon parts and ammunition using a right-wing slogan widely understood as code for profanity directed at President Joe Biden.
Palmetto State Armory, which operates a 12,000-square-foot gun store in Columbia, S.C., the state capital, is marketing a “LETSGO-15 Stripped Lower Receiver,” which is a part meant for an AR-15-style assault rifle.
The product description on the company’s website says the fire selector on the weapon part features three modes: “’F@CK!’” (Safe), “’JOE!’” (Fire), “’BIDEN!’” (Full-Auto).”
“Love how PSA is in touch with the current Let’s Go Brandon situation,” says one of the comments below the product description. “More than half of America and other parts of the world are chanting. The current administration is destroying our country.”
The company did not respond to NBC News requests for comment. A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates threats against the president, declined to comment.
At least two other firms in other states, Culper Precision and My Southern Tactical, are advertising an AR-15 magazine for sale with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker.

The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” has become right-wing code for “F--- Joe Biden." It originated from a moment during an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, when a driver named Brandon Brown was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter. A nearby crowd was chanting something difficult to make out, and the reporter suggested they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the winning driver. But it became increasingly clear they were saying, “F--- Joe Biden.”
A stripped lower receiver is the part of the AR-15 rifle that contains the serial number, making it the only part of the weapon required to be purchased through a licensed dealer.
Once banned under federal law, the AR-15 has become the most popular rifle in America, making up one in five firearms bought each year, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Law enforcement officials have said that variations of the AR-15 were used in mass shootings at a Boulder, Colo. supermarket, a Pittsburgh synagogue, Texas church, a Las Vegas concert, a Florida high school and a Connecticut elementary school.
The “Let’s Go Brandon” slogan has been employed by several Republican politicians. The Associated Press reported Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida shouted the phrase while ending an Oct. 21 House floor speech with a fist pump. Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina wore a “Let’s Go Brandon” face mask at the Capitol last week, while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz posed with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sign at the World Series. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s press secretary retweeted a photo of the phrase on a construction sign in Virginia, the AP reported.
Southwest Airlines announced Sunday it was investigating an incident in which a pilot reportedly uttered the phrase over the intercom.

It wasn’t difficult at all.
As much as they hate guns they are totally oblivious to the number of ARs this article will sell. Each and every one of those new stimulus checks will buy a “Lets Go Brandon” AR and Palmetto State Armory will clean up. I wish they sold stock. lol
FNBCNEWS - In the neck.
Solid marketing momentum....use it while it is hot.
Let’s Go Brandon!
‘Rat Presidents are the best gun salesmen.
The more the fake news complains about either Let’s Go Brandon or FJB, the more popular both become.

***Once banned under federal law the AR-15***
That style of rifle was never banned.
A bowdlerized version was still for sale all through the “ban”.
Certain characteristics were removed to comply with federal law.
The name of the rifle was changed.
The flash suppressor was removed (does it make the rifle more deadly?
The Bayonet lug was removed.( how many killings with fixed bayonets in the US since 1900?)
The collapsible stock was made solid.(actually made the rifle more stable.)
The magazine was replaced with a 10 rd magazine. 30 rd Army surplus magazines were for sale everywhere.
Yet, they still love to claim the rifle was “banned”.
I think Spike Jones had a comedy skit with that in it.
Definitely not complaining, but I would personally have preferred “’F@CK!’” (Fire), “’JOE!’” (Safe), & “’BITE ME!’” (Full-Auto)...
;>)
I somehow doubt PSA is going to much care what NBC complains about.
Yeah, it’s directed at Joe Biden. But it’s also directed at the media who have their heads stuck so far up their culos that they made a curse into a “safe for work” viral live meme. It’s less about Biden than it is about the direction of his administration and his enablers and media white-washers who actually created the chant.
Yeah why would they chant “Let’s go Brandon” after he had already won the race? They would’ve said “way to go Brandon!”. Crazy media people invented the chant. It is now safe to say on TV and around kids. And it is directed at the media as much as it is at, um, Brandon.
