First came the $99 Bulletlite flashlight.

He's making a idiotic political statement... sort of a 'beat your swords into plowshares" thing. Recycling evil guns into useful household objects.

Personally, If I had an M16 table lamp, I'd want it to shoot, not just look pretty. "Let me introduce you to my little lamp"

Cheers,
