BUTLER, Mo. -- A local car dealer is holding a controversial promotion involving guns.

Max Motors in Butler is offering anyone who buys a car the choice of $250 in gas or a free semi-automatic handgun.

"Like I say, it's a choice -- protection or gas," said Walter Moore with Max Motors.

Way back in 1960 my dad got a new Remington model 742 semi-auto rifle in 30.06 with the purchase of some cheap plastic living room furniture.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A used Glock.

[joe fonebone]

probably a hi-point 9mm

or, perhaps a S&W Sigma...

[phrogphlyer]

Looked like a Kel-tec. Price is about right too.

[LRS]

Also, the site has a survey: “Do you think offering a free gun with the purchase of a new car is a good idea?” current vote- Yes= 55% No=45%

[phrogphlyer]

There’s a poll to freep too. Right now “good idea” is winning, 55%-45%

[CholeraJoe]

A while back, there was a bank in Wyoming offering a rifle if you purchased a Certificate of Deposit.

a new Kel-Tec

[wastedyears]

Damn... if only I had the money for a new car.

I’d have him ship the pistol.

[kenth]

Get him to hand over the pistol first and you get a free car.

[Yo-Yo]

Yeah, I think Michael Moore got one...

[wastedyears]

FReeped

[wastedyears]

IS HE WEARING A NAVY SEAL HAT?

[Reagan79]

Even if it wasn’t a firearm I wanted I would still take the gun to piss off the liberals.

controversial

"controversial" is the word the news media uses to describe things that they don't like. Notice that gun control legislation is never "controversial" no matter how draconian it is; however, the slightest lifting of restrictions is always "controversial."
