Yes, for real. This just makes me want to despair. The home shopping gun channel is the brain fart of something called The Social Responsibility Network. Social responsibility? Really? Given the sheer amount of gun deaths and injuries every single day in uStates, I don’ think that title applies in the least. It’s days like these that make me feel like uStates has moved beyond parody. I can only imagine how terrifying we are to everyone outside uStates. It’s pretty terrifying living here.
Article about GTV here. There’s a video from the Social Responsibility Network at the link.

I cannot tell if this is for real or if it is April fool’s prank. It is too plausible to tell.
Caine says
Oh no, it’s real. Click the links -- I checked them all.

GTV also made Newsweek, and every other publication out there.
