As an aside, my aunt was murdered with a handgun, perhaps vendors should stop selling them because it could hurt my feelings :(

Extrapolating the SJW comments, I had someone close murdered with a gun... So CGN is now in bad taste, promoting guns, shooting and related items and I shouldn't be forced to see it so take it down...

Not the best comparison. There really isn't much evidence that anyone is using covid-19 for non-violent, recreational purposes.
 
It could have been done tastefully, with some sort of homage to the front-line workers. Many doctors and nurses are giving their lives up for people, some of whom are still going to the bar and the beach. If this mag was meant as any sort of homage or marker, it's an absolute failure.
 
People can be mad and people can be upset. Just as IRG can produce and sell this magazine.

There are lots of things I think are done in bad taste. When I come across something I dont agree with, I can either choose to voice my displeasure (hopefully in a constructive way), or move along. Doesn't matter which method I use - I never lose sight of the fact that with very few exceptions, the person or company opposite of me has a right to do what they are doing. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it.....but it is their right to put themselves out there however they see fit.
 
Advertising this product right now is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. In addition to being extremely distasteful, how do you think it makes gun owners look? Absolutely ridiculous and self-sabotaging in regards to the efforts being made to fight against the injustice treatment of legal firearms owners in Canada. Shame on IRG.
 
The fact that IRG continually supports Trump through all this BS cements that I'll never send them another penny. Sad because my first two firearms were through them as well as many mags/accessories.

Quite ridiculous that some of my fellow Canadians (as seen in this thread) prefer to be edgelords over patriotic to their own country. Trump is literally telling companies to stop sending medical supplies to us, stories of shipments being rerouted (though one was shown to be a computer glitch, not a peep on the others that are confirmed though). From the very beginning the US gov't has tried to F us at every turn, from rewriting NAFTA to what we see here. Yet some still line up to suck his d because he's "pro gun, brother!" (oh boy do I have a reality check for you).

Also, IRG, don't lecture us on taxes and our society when you're about to experience the very reason why we have those. You already have millions upon millions of people living paycheque to paycheque, debt up to your necks, and the fact that >70% of medically-related bankruptee's had health insurance. We have those taxes because we as a society actually care about our neighbors and their ability to remain healthy - unlike you guys which is quite ironic given how much bible-thumping goes on down south.

I don't think i've seen a single person in this thread say that IRG doesn't or shouldn't have the right to sell this.

Youza.

...except this has nothing to do with politics. You're confused about what political correctness is.
Hint : its nott equivalent to voicing dislike for a product in a specific context.

You're absolutely right in a political sense Youza. But IMO political correctness is not only attributed to politics. The quote in a social-political context was my intent. "You must take this down and stop selling this product because we don't like it, it's distasteful"

That's not exactly something a capitalist would say. This is dark humour, some people don't like it but others do. It's a free country and capitalists should be able to speak any message they want. Us telling them its not OK is the same thing as left wingers doing what they have to right-leaning comedy over the last 5 years which is be Politically Correct fascists until all opposition has been silenced. Nick DiPaolo, Owen Benjamin are some recent right wing examples. They had their platforms stripped because people don't like their style of comedy.

I don't think any of us have a right to tell someone to take something down, or to not speak their mind. If you want to voice your distain that is totally acceptable. But this isn't 1935 Germany so no one tell any man or business what is acceptable. This isn't a dictatorship, yet.. Cheers
 
I’ll just add my vote to the don’t like it don’t buy it pile . It’s a free world boys and you can find your safe space because someone painted a magazine.
 
I think the people talking about "whining" "hurt feelings" and "political correctness" are missing the mark.

There are people who have lost their jobs, and there are people who have family members dying of this. This is a kick in the nuts to those people. This product is taking those people, who are at a huge low in their lives, and trivializing the source of their anguish.

Some people try to bring up people who are suffering, some people try and bring them down, and some people don't give a #### about people and just want to sell a product.

What kind of people run IRG?
 
I can't say it offends me because only certain types of things offend me...and generally a painted object doesn't bother me. I've seen a lot of "art" I didn't like, but it hasn't offended me. The only interesting part is I haven't noticed any 30/10 LAR mags. I wonder if they are sold in basic black?

I for my part never told IRG to do or not do something. Voicing an opinion about the distastefulness of their product is in no way a coercive measure against their business.
I would fiercely oppose any such measure.

People are merely telling them what they think and thats it. Thats why it has nothing to do with political correctness. No coercive suggestions or measures.

Youza.

So many "you're entitled to your opinion, as long as it aligns with mine" people on here. And they're the ones calling people libtards..
 
This has nothing to due with political views. I live in Canada, pay Canadian taxes and work for IRUNGUNS in Canada. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, that opinion was mine.
