If you’re really nice to North Carolina GOP candidate Jason “Molotov” Mitchell, he may let you fire off a few rounds of his custom AK-47, “The Liberator.”

The man running for state Senate in North Carolina’s District 16 is planning a fundraiser on Sunday where supporters can come for the bullets and stay for the Bulleit.

Entitled “Bullets and Bourbon,” attendees are invited to shoot various rifles and shotguns before kicking back with Mitchell over drinks.

“Take your turn firing the world famous AK-47, the AR-15, the super-cool KSG pump 12 gauge and other firearms!” Mitchell’s campaign writes in a Facebook page advertising the event.

“Fun fact: every one of the firearms listed are banned in at least one other state…but not in NC!” the description reads.

To sweeten the deal, supporters may get a turn on Mitchell’s own custom model: “You can even try your hand at Molotov’s own customized, short-barrel AK-47, ‘The Liberator!'”

Mitchell has described himself as “an award-winning filmmaker, combat instructor and a member of Mensa,” as well as “a Ron Paul Republican.” The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, identified him in as “a self-declared ‘Christian Supremacist'” in a profile.

He is also a video contributor to the far-right news outlet WND, which produced his 2011 film titled “Gates Of Hell”, which envisions a “post-abortion America” where terrorists go about murdering abortion doctors.

Below is the full poster for the event:

    Not spending $69 to shoot and drink with this freak: Priceless.

  3. Can I bring my “reaperator”?
    Super neat gun with bullets you just shoot in a general direction. The bullet has a sniffer nose that can seek and find a reaper,AKA goper. It always finds that shit smell it is looking for. Ala reaper gop publigin stench. sweeter than nalpalm. lol

  4. Well, Officer, first someone said, “Hey! Let’s get loaded.” They all started arguing when no one could agree on which kind.
    But the fight didn’t really start until after Bristol threw her second punch.

  5. Well, from a long term species evolutionary perspective, nothing at all.
