Free Guns! Free Guns! The Daily Caller’s Second Amendment Remedy Campaign
The Daily Caller, that bastion of faux journalism created by faux journalist and former bow-tie wearer Tucker Carlson, is giving away one gun every week until election day. Just in case the vote doesn’t go as elected, I suppose, Daily Caller readers will be able to exercise Second Amendment remedies, courtesy of the man who recently hosted convicted criminal and fraudster Jack Abramoff, saying he has “a decency I’m willing to vouch for.”

The Daily Caller will be giving away one gun per week until Election Day – November 6, 2012.

California. Each gun is engraved with the Bill of Rights and comes in one of three colors.To enter this week’s contest, simply sign up below to receive updates from The Daily Caller. Our DC

I assume the “one of three colors” consist of red, white, and blue.
For those readers not intimately familiar with Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller, last month a Daily Caller writer penned a piece lamenting how his bike was stolen, and — although he has absolutely no proof whatsoever — the thief must have been a black person.
Joe.My.God. notes that Tucker Carlson is a “proud gay-basher.”
In a very extensive report, Media Matters profiles the gun manufacturer. An excerpt:
The gun’s manufacturer, Jim Pontillo, has attacked American progressives for supposedly seeking to promote communism in America and claimed that “people calling for secession” are not “fanatics who hate America” but are instead acting “in the Founding tradition.”
This ad is currently running on the website’s NRA-sponsored “Guns and Gear” page:

Who knows, maybe the Susan G. Komen Foundation can go in on the deal and add a pink gun to the “one of three colors”?
30,000 Americans are killed by guns each year. Tucker Carlson’s disgusting readership drive may backfire.
