Free Gas or Gun

US car dealer in free gun offer

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.

If you walk into a gun shop to buy a hand gun, you have to wait 5 days in most states and you have to have a clean gun license. Rifles and shutguns you can buy same day in most states. There are things such as "gun shows" where gun distributors and suppliers will rent a table at a huge convention center (usually in a sports arena). There is some type of loop hole in the gun laws where you can purchase a gun there and no one is around to enforce the gun laws. Eaziest place to get one.

As far as the waste of space giving away guns with a new car, I'm not sure how that works. A gun as a "gift" does it have to be licenses? I'm not sure on the laws in the state of Missouri, but being in the mid-south of the country, you can bet the gun laws are laxed.
