America is so fucking dumb.

That's fucking awesome. Where I live, the dentist just gives you a huge bill and no Glock.

This suggests to me that the Invisalign profit margin is substantial.

Or it's a fun way to do strawman purchases like other similar schemes were.

As someone who lives in a country with reasonable gun laws… my envy is immeasurable.

But I bet you could get braces for free as a kid...

Oh for sure, I wouldn’t trade it at all but fuck if I wouldn’t be happy to get a Glock (and deal with all the paperwork) free with orthodontic work.

Not gonna lie straight teeth and a free glock would be a nice addition to my life.

I don't get it, at all.

Glocks are cheap enough, though the story makes no mention of the model, which is kinda fuckin' important for judging value.

So either you're legal to buy one yourself and do so, or you get background checked at the dentist and basically pay for it through him? Which is what it amounts to. Not seeing the promotion here.

Like almost every similar gun promotion, you likely get a coupon that you take to a gun shop to fulfill it.

The story literally says "Glock 19," probably the most popular pistol in the country.
