Memo To Newt Gingrich: Yes We Can Put A Gun Rack In A Chevy Volt

On Monday, at a town hall at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Republican wishful Newt Gingrich uncovered a serious flaw in President Obama‘s energy policy. As he told the crowd, “You cannot put a gun rack in a Volt!”

Well, the internet has good news for the former Speaker, for firepower-obsessed Chevy Volt owners, and for the future of renewable energy. Yes, we can put a gun rack in a Chevy Volt!

In response to the former Speaker’s concern over the gun-storing capabilities of Chevy’s electric car, and Gingrich’s apparent ignorance about global oil markets and the price of gasoline, one industrious YouTube user decided to allay those fears, posting a brief video showing how he managed to get a gun rack into his Volt. Says jtmcdole:

In response to Newt Gingrich’s cheep shots at the American designed, American made, and American powered Chevrolet Volt, claiming you couldn’t put a gun rack in the back…. I prove he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

See, Newt? We’re Americans, not American’ts! Sure, we can’t all spell that well, or be seen in a blinding snowstorm, but when we put our minds to it, there are few problems we can’t MacGyver our way out of with a trip to the hardware section of Target.
