Hey - exciting news for you... your email address -- sXXXXXXXXXX.NET -- was just randomly selected for this lethal Tactical Doorprize.

Your prize is an ATS Gun Bag (worth $129), plus some extra bonus gear that’ll be shipped inside (2 of these items kill instantly).

All you have to do is click here to claim it.

If you don’t claim it within 4 hours, no worries, we’ll just figure you didn’t want it and we’ll award it someone else.

But they paid the full price for it. Good news is you won’t have to pay one red cent to get it, since you just won it for Free...

Here’s why they use this bag daily…

It holds a LOT of firepower but keeps it highly concealed. You can easily transport multiple firearms and several loaded mags for each, without anyone ever having a clue.

It’s tough as nails. No matter how tight you pack this bag, it’s reinforced zippers and double-ply canvas mean it will NEVER split or tear -- regardless of how much abuse you put it through.

Once you have this bag in your hands, you’ll instantly see why it’s the #1 choice for thousands of other gun owners.

Even at the full retail price of $129, this bag is a total steal.

It’s Free for you today - but you only have 4 hours to claim it.

After that, we’ll have to release your bag to another eligible winner.

Click here to claim your FREE ATS Gun Bag now!



P.S. -- Here’s 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.

They talk about the technical workings of firearms, and how you cannot possibly regulate them without understanding their full inner workings.

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

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.

and probably pets and couple of cars....and lives in a decent part of town/city.

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.

And Google tells me it is a gay porn movie. If I remove the space it takes me to onfo on a person who was a porn star and is now a costume designer.

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

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.

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.

companies. Then again, this is hardly a surprise as I purchase firearms from such companies on a regular basis. I also get the occasional bit of spam such as this one.

..."I have nothing decent to wear to today's gory gun game gathering."

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.
