St. Peters Company Sells Holocaust-Style Yellow Star for 'Gun Owners'

Update: Tactical Shit has said it will no longer sell the patch. See our latest update for the reasons why


The persecution of gun owners in America has an "uncanny" similarity to the abuses Jews suffered under Nazi rule — at least, that's true according to a remarkable item description for a "morale patch" shaped like a yellow Star of David that's currently being sold by a St. Peters gun store.

The store, called Tactical Shit, maintains a massive social media following through its Facebook group, and its inventory intentionally courts the tastes of right-wing meme lords and firearm aficionados who despise political correctness.

The store makes no secret of its desire to push the boundaries of good taste. That yellow star patch? You can find that under the dedicated tab for "offensive." At only $8, it's an absolute steal.

The full item description reads (emphasis added):
We do not invoke this historical symbol lightly. The similarities of the current attitude of the legislative environment and the systematic persecution that this star represents are uncanny. There's no difference.

The "Pieces of Flair" patch is a strong reminder of how quickly an unarmed society can be toppled by a dictatorship. How have we reached this point? How has the persecution of a single group of people become so socially acceptable? Well, to us, its not. Its time to remind these people of history. Line in the sand: drawn. This patch will fray nicely at the edges with usage (intentionally).

Principled! Defiant! TOTALLY not taking this historical symbol lightly. Still, the logical justification for borrowing an operative symbol of genocide seems to fray at the edges if you just ... well, put really any thought into it at all.

4. Maybe we can give them Big Dick Awards to make them feel better.

Sorry.... just frustrated but a friend just came back from Australia and said "I didn't feel or experience the simmering rage that you feel in the U.S. and these guys are huge." (as in height). That crossed my mind and I thought well maybe they all are well endowed as well.

6. Fucking disgusting.

I am so sick of people misappropriating Jewish culture, especially when most are usually fucking anti-Semites!

[Hekate]

7. These are deeply sick people. They own more weapons than most countries & they STILL feel insecure?

Nothing stops them from stockpiling more and more and THEY are being persecuted? In the first 3 weeks of 2018 there have already been 11 school shootings and THEY are the victims?

And on top of all this, they DARE to appropriate the symbol of the Holocaust?
