Yep, that beer shelf sure is one dangerous styling feature.

Now, if you were to tell folks it ain't really a beer shelf at all, but a mighty fine gun rack to hold your personal protection side-arms, carbines, rifles, heavy machine guns and light anti armor rockets (all necessary for your own and the rest'o'the right thinking Western World's safety you understand), then the NRA'd pay for its lobbyists to squash those pesky class action lawsuits before you could fire a forty five at a seven eleven full of passing strangers. Yes-siree Bob, Charlton Heston didn't get to where he is today without knowing how to shoot a chimp...

Apologies in advance for any racial stereotyping you may think you see here, but America does tend to lose about 30,000 people a year to handguns. That's over five hundred a week. About eighty five people a day killed with guns. But apparently, guns aren't dangerous...
