Gun, or Gas, you decide....



"FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, COME IN AND GET A FREE GUN WITH EVERY NEW OR USED CAR PURCHASE!!!!!!!" (that was my best sleazy car dealer line.) WHAT!!

Somebody really needs to explain the correlation between car and gun. I understand the alternative, the free gas, but a GUN! How is this even legal?

It's like offering Crack with a purchase of a happy meal.

I do not know what frightens me more, the fact that this promotion exists in the first place, or the fact that business is booming for this particular car dealership. You would think, the price of gas being as it is, that everybody would be thrilled to get a $250 gas card, especially in a part of the country where the economy is weak. (at this point, that would be the entire country) Not the case in Missouri! Only a small few have accepted the gas card.

What scares me even more, is that that the general public are opting for the KEL TEC .380

PISTOL...which and I quote Mr Muller is "a nice little handgun, that fits in your pocket."

Great.

They are saying this was inspired by Obama's statement "they are all clinging to their guns and their bibles." Ok Mr Muller finds this offensive, and responds by saying, "We all go to church on Sunday, and we all carry guns." Ummmmm, sounds like the same thing to me Mr Muller.

I agree with the right to bare arms and all, I just don't agree with boosting used car sales by offering a handgun as an incentive to buy.
