The Joe Wilson *You Lie ! * commemorative Assault Rifle

Report: Company sells rifle part inscribed 'you lie' - On Politics: Covering the US Congress, Governors, and the 2012 Election - USATODAY.com



A South Carolina gun company is reportedly selling a rifle component inscribed with the words "you lie" in tribute to Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst at President Obama.



The Palmetto State Armory is selling a commemorative part, known as a lower, for an AR-15 in honor of Wilson, who shouted "you lie" as Obama addressed a joint session of Congress last year about health care.



The news was reported by The Free Times, an alternative news weekly in Columbia, S.C.

The news weekly says web page for the rifle component is no longer on the gun company's website.

The gun component, which sells for $99.95, is being sold as the nation is trying to absorb the shock of an Arizona shooting rampage that left six people dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., fighting for her life.

The gun product has not been endorsed by Wilson.

Company president Jamin McCallum expressed sorrow for the Arizona shooting victims in an e-mail to the Free Times on Tuesday.

"The only reaction I have to the Arizona shooting is sorrow for the victims and their families and a disbelief that a human being could carry out an act like this," McCallum wrote. "...

The loss of life is a tragic event and we should do our best to support those who are grieving."

And Right-wingers got pissed when Obama told the truth; "they cling to their Guns".

I'm sorry. Exactly how many innocent Americans did Joe Wilson kill? Oh, that's right, none. It's hard to keep that kind of thing straight these days.

I think "you lie" is a strange inscription for a gun component, but hey, who am I to question? Thanks to our Founding Fathers' foresight, the company has the right to make the gun component, and has the right to print whatever message they feel like on it. Most importantly, we all have the right to either buy that component or not, and the right to give our opinion of the part, and the folks who made it.

The company president opining on the Tucson shooting was no more or less important than those of us opining on it, or perhaps the president of Nike shoes commenting on it. After all, the shooter, as well as many of the rest of us wear shoes.

Let me guess ... you've been inspired as of late to write Palins' speeches ...

Wow, all I can say is Wow and leave it at that.

Oh, no. I don't like Palin. She endorsed Texas Governor Rick Perry for re-election, and she lost me right there. Actually, I already had her pegged when she endorsed John McCain, but was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Palin is just another Pub shill, gently moving the "I'm mad as Hell and not going to take it anymore" fiscal conservative Tea Party folks back into the Pub fold.

Let's just say I won't be checking her book out at the library (I sure as heck won't be buying it).

That's OK. Sometimes, I look back on the crap I post and just stand in awe of its magnificence.

... yeah but it sure is quiet in here ... I thought for sure some of the CFPR&C gun nuts would be crowding the place calling for the right to 2nd Amendment Remedies ... probably waiting for the Tuscon tragedies to quiet down before resuming *gather your armies* ...

IDGAF about the Tuscon shooter. He was a lefty hippie freak.

Im simply not going to let the few anti's here bait me into an argument that doesn't change anything.

I won't change my stance, you won't change yours and in the end i still carry my gun on me every day and shoot a couple times a week

im sure im not the only one just sitting back laughing at you guys.

oh, and you can thank an armed citizen for holding down the shooter from reloading and killing more. Joe Zamudio... look it up.

You must've missed the part where Zamudo was 1 second away from shooting one of the rescuers who was holding Tuscon killer Jared Loughners' gun after it was wrestled away ...
