Palmetto State Armory would like to honor our esteemed congressman Joe Wilson with the release of our new “You Lie” AR-15 lower receiver. These lowers are the same great quality you have come to expect from Palmetto State Armory and feature “You Lie” as the first six digits of the serial number. Only 999 of these will be produced, get yours before they are gone!  These forged lowers are made using high quality 7075-T6 aluminum and are marked “MULTI” to accommodate most builds.  Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize.

This seems like a perfectly cromulent catchphrase to engrave on a gun.

What kind of people, what kind of country celebrates the blatant disrespect of a President by engraving it onto a gun?

This is too much.

This is actually really scary.  What do you think this gun is intended to do?  I am absolutely astounded and outraged that any company would even make such a weapon.  This is nothing other than inciting further political violence.  There is no other way to describe such a horrid weapon.

We need to take a step back and really look at ourselves.  Is this the country we want to live in?  I may be liberal and have a lot of disagreements with the conservatives but never would I incite violence against a single person.  That’s not how you deal with people and you don’t inspire change with violence.

I refuse to live in a country like this and I’m not leaving.
