Las Vegas pushes gun promotions

Ranges pitch outlandish ads

LAS VEGAS — One Las Vegas shooting range sold ‘‘take a shot at love’’ packages that included 50 submachine gun rounds. Another offered wedding packages in which the bride and groom can pose with Uzis and ammunition belts. And a third invited lovebirds to renew their vows and shoot a paper cutout zombie in the face.

Never known for its understatement or good taste, Sin City is bucking the national trend of avoiding flippant gun promotions after the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting. Instead, it is embracing tourists’ newfound interest in big guns the only way it knows how: by going all in.

What I love about the fourth estate. Unbiased, straight forward fact driven.

Theta the puns are stupid, but where are there any errors of fact?  Which bits were biased?

A bit over-the-top and perhaps a little ill-timed for my tastes but I support the Rights of anyone to do as they please within the law, out there or anywhere else for that matter.
