Remember back in March of 2020 when candidate Joe Biden came unglued after being confronted by a Detroit autoworker about his gun control policies? The man told by Biden he didn’t need an “AR-14” literally got a rifle engraved with “AR-14” and “You’re full of s**t.”
So this isn’t the first time Biden’s been immortalized on a gun. NBC News reports, pearls in hand, that gun dealers are capitalizing on “Let’s go, Brandon” as a marketing gimmick.
Gun dealers are marketing weapon parts and ammunition using a right-wing slogan widely understood as code for profanity directed at President Biden. https://t.co/ATgQxY7Ffc

That’s awesome! NBC News’ TDS-afflicted Ken Dilanian reports:
Palmetto State Armory, which operates a 12,000-square-foot gun store in Columbia, S.C., the state capital, is marketing a “LETSGO-15 Stripped Lower Receiver,” which is a part meant for an AR-15-style assault rifle.
The product description on the company’s website says the fire selector on the weapon part features three modes: “’[email protected]!’” (Safe), “’JOE!’” (Fire), “’BIDEN!’” (Full-Auto).”
…
At least two other firms in other states, Culper Precision and My Southern Tactical, are advertising an AR-15 magazine for sale with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker.
And NBC News is doing some nice free advertising for these dealers. Now that we know about these, we want them.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I may have to buy one now.

Congratulations to @PalmettoArmory for getting their receiver features on @NBCNews.
That’s a few million dollars plus of free marketing!
Brilliant fellas!#LetsGoCapitalism!

It was Dilanian’s network that coined the slogan, after all.

It’s not in the story now as far as we can see, but it looks like NBC News actually talked to a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, “which investigates threats against the president,” who declined to comment.
I’m sorry, what? pic.twitter.com/o6wPA52up6
