    Would you like a Gun or a $250 Gas Card?

    US car dealer in free gun offer

    http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...eframe226i.jpg
    The offer is proving popular - sales have quadrupled so far

    A car dealership in the United States is offering a free handgun with every vehicle sold.

    Max Motors in Butler, Missouri, says sales have quadrupled since the start of the offer.

    Customers can choose between a gun or a $250 (£125) gas card, but most so far have chosen the gun.

    Owner Mark Muller said: "We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want to."

    The dealership sells new and old vehicles, including General Motors and Ford cars and trucks, and its logo shows a cowboy holding a pistol.

    It has sold more than 30 cars and trucks in the past three days, an increase which the owners put down to their promotional offer.

    Inspiration from Obama

    Mr Muller said that every buyer so far "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" chose the gun, rather than the gas card.

    He recommends a Kel-Tec .380 pistol, which he describes as "a nice little handgun that fits in your pocket".

    He added that the promotion was inspired by recent comments from one of the Democratic nominees for the presidential election, saying: "We did it because of Barack Obama.

    "He said all those people in the Midwest, you've got to have compassion for them because they're clinging to their guns and their Bibles. I found that quite offensive. We all go to church on Sunday and we all carry guns."

    The website advertisement for the offer, which continues until the end of the month, mentions that an approved background check on gun ownership is required.

    Note: I was going to post this in spam forum until I saw how much they tied religion into the sales of Cars & Guns.

    It almost makes me feel un-American for not owning a gun.

    These kind of deals have been going on since the 80s, even got some pretty wide spread coverage in Bowling for Columbine when Moore got a gun for opening a bank account in Alabama or something. Some limey shithead fresh on assignment in the US probably heard about this and decided to activate his Snoot generator, which then produced this article.

    Keltec = Shitty gun that will blow up in your face. Totally agree with above poster :D

    Also pretty sad that the news company cant even get the right picture. A keltec .380 would look like this.

    Only posting a picture so that if you find one laying around you will take a sledge hammer and destroy this worthless piece of shit.

    Give a man a gas card and he'll drive for a week. Give a man a gun and he'll drive until the attendants shoot back.

    So his point was to say that they don't cling to guns? Right? That's what he meant?

    I can't tell.
