(Tempe, AZ) Both backlash from liberals and strong support from republicans is meeting the release of a new gun released by Turning Point USA to memorialize the death of Charlie Kirk, the group’s former CEO. The rifle, equipped with a scope and silencer, and “similar to the weapon that killed Kirk” will be available in November, just in time for the holiday season.
A Turning Point spokesperson said the weapon pays tribute to Kirk’s legacy. “Charlie was a firm believer in gun rights. His last words were about gang violence. We feel that releasing this weapon will help heal the divide his death caused.”
But some say the weapon is in bad taste. The anti-gun group Sandy Hook Promise released a statement saying that any glorification of gun violence, and profiting from it, is unAmerican. They also call out the body targets of Kirk that come with the weapon, asking the logic behind including them.
The weapons, however, are seeing massive preorders. Leo Sturbgetter, a cow detangler in urban North Dakota, says he will be buying one to commemorate Kirk. “He died doing what he loved, and I’ll say a prayer for him each time I see him in the scope. Amen.”
The Kirk family were not available for comment on the new weapon.
Took a big ol' bite of that one.
I didn’t even realize anything was up till I came across “cow detangler“
Tangled cattle is a serious problem, Leo is a hero.
Well, that and “Urban North Dakota” 😂
