A US company is giving new clients a voucher to buy an AK-47 assault rifle to defend themselves from violent crime.<\/p>\n

Sarasota-based MerchantService.com provides small stores and businesses with cash machines and credit card processing services.<\/p>\n

Its No Merchant Victim program now offers a voucher that can be used to buy a gun such as an AK-47 from a local gun dealer, or upgraded security camera equipment, when clients have had its services for three months.<\/p>\n

“We encourage all merchants to stand their ground against attack with lethal force,” company president Gino Kauzlarich said.<\/p>\n

“Hence our recommendation they buy a firearm such as a AK-47 … (But) what the merchant chooses to do with the voucher payment cash is the merchant’s choice.”<\/p>\n

He charged that US Federal Government plans to increase early releases from prison, particularly in California, will likely fuel violent crime such as assaults on merchants.<\/p>\n

Mr Kauzlarich also said that with 400,000-500,000 guns robbed annually in the US, “our goal is to effect a societal expectation shift that every criminal should expect to confront lethal force when they attack our merchants, rather than the criminal justice system protects the criminals well-being during the commission of murders, robberies and crimes”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
