NRA BEGINS SELLING HOODIES WITH POCKET TO CONCEAL HANDGUNS | The National Rifle Association has a new item in its online store: hoodies, with a special pocket designed to conceal a handgun. Hooded sweatshirts have taken on new meaning in the last week as a symbol for Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed while wearing one last month. Last week, Geraldo Rivera speculated that it was Trayvon’s hoodie that was to blame for his death, sparking widespread criticism. “We want concealed carry to fit around your lifestyle — not the other way around. That’s why we developed the NRAstore exclusive Concealed Carry Hooded Sweatshirt,” reads the product description. If enough people buy them, Rivera may be right to assume some hoodies can be dangerous.

4. If Trayvon had one of these, maybe Mr Zimmerman would be dead now.

And Trayvon would be walking free, since he was only standing his ground against someone who was following him.

9. Yes, the image of black underage teens carrying guns.

I can't imagine how that could go wrong....


The circular logic of some of these gun advocates amazes me.

14. are there any statistics on how many blacks who killed whites in Florida got off, let alone

were not charged, by using the "Stand Your Ground" law?

5. Cool...

I wonder if they have my size in stock?

7. And shorts, and purses, and button down shirts..

It's not new to NRA, either. I found the item in my junk mail folder.

12. But, don't let that stand in the way of the drama queens and their moral outrage...

What date was Martin shot?

What date did Rivera make his stupid comment?

What's the date on the Twitter post?

Hopefully this will lower some folks blood pressure to normal levels, but I doubt it.

8. Oh dear lord.

Let me be the first to say politely that the NRA can go fuck itself.

10. Never let it go unsaid that the NRA not merely exploits...

Never let it go unsaid that the NRA not merely exploits, but indeed promotes the lowest common social denominators.

11. Next NRA talking point: "When you see a hoodie, you'll never know if it hides a gun."

"Which is why you NEED to arm yourself!"

They have been feeding BOTH sides of the street for a long time now. Great for Business.

13. this might be a new version but they have sold hoodies with conceal pockets for years

this is nothing new... not even news...

15. That Is Just Plain Disgusting And Dispicable.....nt
