They changed the press release due to complaints and took out the immediate reference to Jennifer Hudson. There's still a mention in it though. http://www.mmdnewswire.com/bedside-shotgun-rack-4093.html

"just [didn't] want this to happen to someone else..." I'm looking for the sentence in the article that says, "all of the company's proceeds during the month of November will be donated to violence prevention and after school programs for at risk youth." Hmrph, can't find it.

Great product design! Even better advertising. Looks like it is designed to hold the shotgun at a child accessible level and to be used as intended the gun would be loaded and with out a trigger lock. In addition, what about when Jimbo comes stumbling into bed after a few to many and knocks the gun off the rack? Here is my million dollar idea I will share with all of you: A clock radio that has a recording of a shotgun being cocked. All you have to do is press a button and it plays the recording. Any robber or rapist will quickly get the idea to retreat when they hear that noise. Effective but with out the chance shooting your family member.

So would vigorous lovemaking make the shotgun go off, thereby ending a bang with a bang?

You would also need one for the under the dining room table, the kitchen counter, behind the toilet, and under the La-Z-Boy. You could have quite a shootout when the Jaws of Josh breaks into your house.

Plus it's a really badly written press release.

Not to mention, this was a domestic dispute. That's totally different than if a stranger came into your house...in which case, everyone knows that the best deterrent to that is a dog.

Applying some logic to this skidmark of a human being, something he does not deserve, the Hudson's weren't shot in their beds by all accounts. And the young child was murdered in a car. How would this petri dish of a man's little "invention" (which is essentially, a fucking HOOK) have helped anyone? It wouldn't. People who cash in on murder are beneath contempt. I hope he's driven out of business, into the desert and eaten by jackals.

Great idea, but I just carry my shotgun around the house all of the time. Messed up times, yo!
