Buy a Car and get a Gun FREE !!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7416120.stm
US car dealer in free gun offer
pistol
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.

I am missing the name here maybe Moore guy did a documentary wherein they were offering guns while opening bank accounts in upper pennisular or Northern Michigan.

Digressing here but GM, Ford and Chrysler quality is improving and one can find articles on net. In terms of reliability Buicks model was ranked on par with Lexus and high end Jap cars. Accord 2001 has a class action suit for transmission here. It is too little too late for Detroit any way because of economic downturn and spiralling fuel costs.

Having fired this pistol quite recently, I'd suggest you take the petrol voucher in stead! It's a real POS IMHO... very plasticy, poor finish, horrible trigger, jamming after every 2-3 shots and not easy to control or shoot accurately. This was a brand new gun, so the owner told me it required some break in before it would shoot reliably... something that may well cure the feeding/ ejection problems, as for the rest...snIPer";p="44341 wrote:He recommends a Kel-Tec .380 pistol, which he describes as "a nice little handgun that fits in your pocket".
