P.S. -- Heres what James B. had to say about his ATS Gun Bag:
EVERYTHING is marketed as LEATHAL or TACTICAL.
The whole thrust of gun world is death. The Sandy Hook case against Remington goes to court in September of this year. When it does it may well open the door to internal memos and communications regarding marketing tactics. I think it will look a LOT like the big tobacco hearings from back when and I hope the public reaction will be the same.
TheY market DEATH and KILLING and MACHISMO MASCULINE TOXICITY.

(15,084 posts)I remember seeing an ad for one of the semi-automatic rifles that said buying one of them would renew your "Man Card".

(82,849 posts)Okay, let's forget about the absent "to," and consider what a fainting-away snowflake James Barbera of Nevada is. Certainly we all know about the roving gangs overrunning Nevada, such that the old ways of protecting one's family just won't cut it anymore. We need moar lethal and tactical, uh, stuff if we're really going to protect our families! I will bet that years before any credible threat approaches James Barbera of Nevada's family, someone in that family will protect another member of the family to death, legally and tactically.

The lifestyle of a modern, suburban, middle manager is almost as bad as being a spec ops warrior I tell ya.
But he needs this stuff to make his dick bigger and soothe his paranoid fantasies.

Maybe he is being hacked. Maybe someone is trying to scam you and thinks you would bite at a lethal Tactical door prize.

(10,167 posts)Most troubling, I'm seeing a shift in marketing from defensive firearms to offensive weaponry. The latest craze seems to be long range, "precision" tactical rifles, equipped with high-dollar optics, designed and set up for "reaching out" at extreme distances, often with threaded muzzles for suppressors. The sort of thing special ops snipers use.

(2,971 posts)The bag itself might be worth $20 or $30....but they'll charge more than that for shipping. Now that they have your credit card, you'll find mysterious charges appearing on your account, such as a subscription to a worthless internet newsletter for $59.95 a month. Have fun trying to cancel!
And the two "lethal" items included (if you even receive them) are a couple of cheap laser sights that would sell on Amazon for ten bucks, and still be overpriced.
Sadly, there are scam outfits like this for every sort of consumer product.

Don't let this be you!
When the survival for life SHTF and you need your fashion marque 'Douche' design, you simply whip it out of your new big-bad-bag of old tricks of tech talk and 2nd amendment rhetoric for deflecting all liberal shots of high caliber morality and woke ethical elitism.
On a less sarcastic personal note, I agree with 0002 James, a good means for keeping family safe is concealing firearms.
The best way is to stop consuming firearms.
Stop being ATS-holes.
