What it has to do with is their anti-Muslim, and anti-Jew racism. "Eat some pork, to tell us your not a Muslim-loving left winger, and get a free bumper sticker."
You never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator.Cherokee Gun shop billboard in North Carolina mocks "the Squad," calling four congresswomen "4 horsemen" and "idiots," referring to AOC, Ilhan Omar and other members of congress - CBS News
I don't know what bacon has to do with guns. Silly billboard.
That is true. All the other smart customers shop elsewhere. Got to drum up business from some other pool of consumers. May not be too many, nor too bright, but at least they'll be white!
Haha! I very much doubt these folks would ever touch that liberal "snowflake" food.
On the other hand, if 90+% of potential gun buyers(as opposed to total residents) in your area are deplorables, then it looks like good marketing to me. That's entirely possible in rural NC.That is true. All the other smart customers shop elsewhere. Got to drum up business from some other pool of consumers.

Yeah, I suppose. Appeal to your customer base, which happens to respond to stuff like that. It's sort of like putting on some fine drugstore cologne and some tight jeans to advertise yourself at a family reunion. Great way to find a date with kinfolk who share in your same genepool. But do you really think the rest of the world wants to see them advertising themselves to their cousins like that?
I guess there's enough people who are into guns but not coherent thought that it's a group worth marketing to.Cherokee Gun shop billboard in North Carolina mocks "the Squad," calling four congresswomen "4 horsemen" and "idiots," referring to AOC, Ilhan Omar and other members of congress - CBS News

Considering how heavily politicized the gun issue has become, it doesn't surprise me at all that private concerns are using it to their advantage. Political statements like that get attention, which is the point to advertising.
I'm not sure why you went there.
Everyone loves bacon.
I feel like - or maybe hope that - it would take more than just being a "deplorable" for this billboard's message of "these politicians are idiots - come buy my guns" to resonate with a person.
You have a much higher opinion of humans, as a group, than I do.
Do you know how bacon applies to Muslims? Omar is a Muslim. She's the first "idiot horseman" on the billboard.Cherokee Gun shop billboard in North Carolina mocks "the Squad," calling four congresswomen "4 horsemen" and "idiots," referring to AOC, Ilhan Omar and other members of congress - CBS News

Irony.
Do you think that billboard is the product of coherent thinking?
But the deal is they're selling their product using racism. "Say you hate Muslims, get a free hat." That's not about the gun debate. That's purely about racism, and them making the gun a symbol of that. It's racism they are selling, not guns. You don't think there are legitimate gun owners or even gun stores owned by Muslims and Jews?
You think going on dates with kin is sleezer than racism? Racism is less sleazy, a little more upscale?
