A South Carolina-based gun manufacturer is cashing in on the hilarious “Let’s Go Brandon” trend, which triggered one establishment media reporter to such a degree that he actually contacted the Secret Service over it.
Palmetto State Armory recently unveiled a “LETSGO-15” stripped lower receiver for the reasonable price of $59.99.
“The “LETSGO-15” lower comes from the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology and is one of the industry’s finest forged, MIL-SPEC lowers,” a description of the product reds. “This PSA lower is made using our automated manufacturing process. Our multi-million-dollar engineering and manufacturing facilities allow us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value.”
PSA also noted in the item description, “Fire Selector: ‘!’ (Safe), ‘JOE!’ (Fire), ‘BIDEN!’ (Full-Auto).”
The receiver got a lot of attention online, and it eventually got the attention of NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian, who fear-mongered about the item.
“Gun dealers are marketing weapon parts and ammunition using a right-wing slogan widely understood as code for profanity directed at President Joe Biden,” warned Dilanian, who also mistakenly referred to the AR-15 platform of rifles as an “assault rifle.”
The reporter said he had reached out to Palmetto for comment but was not successful in receiving a response. He then reported he’d contacted the Secret Service by phone.
I called the Secret Service about this. They had no comment. https://t.co/CmcATXY5DV pic.twitter.com/vD7dblz9JG

“A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates threats against the president, declined to comment.
