A gun store in Arizona launched a special on AR-15s following former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s vow to outlaw the guns if he was elected president.
“We’re gonna take your AR-15, your AK-47,” O’Rourke said during a 2020 debate on Sept. 12, a year after he said any gun bans would let gun owners keep their guns.
Alpha Dog Firearms in Arizona used O’Rourke’s vow to sell guns, running a $349.99 deal on AR-15s.
The company said in a statement on Facebook that the guns sold out in less than four hours.
This is an excerpt from the Epoch Times.
$349.99 for an AR? Now, THAT’s a deal! Too bad they sold out . . . or I’d get one meself.
Pity i don’t live down there. I’d have loved to pick one up myself.
Yeah, I would have too! It is this type of insanity that will get the vote out from the gun rights groups. No one wants the madness (mass shootings) to continue, but taking the guns from the public is not the answer. My question has always been that the media sensationalizes the shootings, but never reports the myriads of assaults, robberies, car jackings, etc. that are thwarted by the gun owning public! Why is that? (As if we are not keenly aware of why!) One more point about the Arizona sale. I am sure that some of those folks are looking at making a huge profit, if they outlaw future sale of AR’s (which by the way stands for Armorlite Rifle, not Assault Rifle)!
