Car Dealer Gives AK-47 With Purchase

http://www.kctv5.com/news/20085629/detail.html


Dealer Says Similar Promotion Last Year Proved Successful


Those purchasing a vehicle at Max Motors in Missouri will receive an AK-47 assault rifle with their purchase during the month of August.

This is the second consecutive year the dealership has given away vouchers for a firearm as part of a sales promotion.

The logo at Mark Muller's dealership is a nod to his feelings about guns - with an old west caricature pointing two pistols at those who pass by. He said it's a nod to what he calls "big city" ways.

"We really are different than the big city dealers," Muller said.

wonder how many women and children have and will be killed/injured by these guns? by accident or intent.

1. Dupe.
Besides, what of it? Gun give-aways have been going on for decades. And it's a misleading article, it's not an AK-47, it's a civilian semi-auto clone.

10. Apparently, the DU admins prefer that you don't.

When you create a thread, the site advises "Good citizens check for duplicates!" Some people jut check the most recent 10 threads, and others take a better look around.

Duplicate threads are a little bit like SPAM cluttering up sites.

8. My previous post was mostly motivated by my anti-fear mongering tendencies.


and I usually describe myself as pro-right to keep and bear arms, but yes, I call myself pro-gun, too.
