"If he couldn’t get a gun there'd be nobody dead"

BUTLER, Missouri - Salesmen at a Missouri car dealership are not just kicking in a free CD player or air conditioner. They are offering a free handgun with every purchase.

Through the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have a choice - $250 toward either a gun purchase or gasoline.

General manager Walter Moore says that so far, most buyers have chosen the gun, adding that he suggests they opt for a semiautomatic model "because it holds more rounds."

In the fine print, the ad on the website explains, "Check written toward purchase price" and also mentions, "Approved Background Check REQUIRED.

Moore says he suspects his "Free Handgun" ad will draw protests in some places. But not in Butler, about 100 kilometres south of Kansas City.

Moore says, "Down here, we all believe in God, guts and guns."

    meh... as long as the purchasers are going through the same background checks as anyone else in the state who wants to purchase a handgun, I don't have a problem with it.

    The dealer seems to be definitely getting the publicity that he was looking for out of the this move though.

    is it just americans that have such a lackadaisical attitude towards hand guns and gun control?

    weird, cause when you hear about mass shootings by crazy people i wonder why it's mostly in the usa. maybe the crazies didn't have permits yet because of the abundance of guns on the street, found access somehow? maybe other countries have the same problem and we just don't hear about it. i dunno...

    i'm against hand guns cause usually you don't shoot a deer with those.

    Sometimes if you are real sadistic you will shoot a deer with a pistol. That or stab it with a melted down plastic comb. I saw it on a prison show....

    Guns and Gas.

    I might get a gun soon myself... a nice big one. Something large caliber and fully automatic. A scope would be nice too. ....

    Just following the govt's lead. ;)
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't hunt. But if someone ever breaks into my house I'll ask him to pause his attack on me so I can load up my bow and arrow.

    It's part of stretching the gasoline dollar... you can use the gun to hold up the gas station. See? FREE GAS!!!
