SPAM from a gun maker

I approve all comments on my blog before they are shown. This is to prevent spam comments, mainly medications of dubious origin, from being displayed. This is common practice.

When checking the latest comments on my site this is what I came across:

Picture 24-2

This is blatant SPAM. I cannot believe DoubleStar Corp. would resort to such tactics. The commenter makes a vague one sentence comment about the blog post then goes on to push the Star15 rifle and link to it.

Have any other gun bloggers been getting this SPAM?
