Michigan ammo store sells bullet cases inscribed with anti-Biden phrase, 'Let's Go Brandon'

A Novi ammunition store is selling bullet cases engraved with the phrase, “Let’s Go Brandon,” a coded insult that means “Fuck Joe Biden.”

Fenix Ammunition is selling the laser-inscribed, 50-caliber cases for $25 apiece.


The phrase originated from a NASCAR race in which a journalist misreported the chant “Fuck Joe Biden” as a cheer for the winning driver Brandon Brown.

The expression has become a right-wing rallying cry and has been chanted at sporting events and printed on shirts, hats, stickers, beer coolers, and face masks, turned into a cryptocurrency, and repeated by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rep. Bill Posey of Florida. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado wore the phrase on the back of a dress to a party at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo resort.

Fenix Ammunition CEO Justin Nazaroff tells Metro Times that the bullets are “previously fired brass cases” and cannot be fired from a gun.

“It’s a collectible trinket,” Nazaroff says.

They are selling a rifle that has an adjustment with three settings. They have them labeled as Fuck, Joe and Biden.
Their response to the media was that it was protected free speech, and was also a joke meant to expose the snowflake liberals who would throw a fit.

This type of thing says a lot more about the person doing it than it says about the person being ridiculed

But telling these assholes no only makes them stronger. There's no low they won't stoop to.
