Guns And Auto

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on May 23, 2008 at 8:20 pm

Max Motors, a car dealership in Butler, Missouri, is offering a free handgun with every car purchase. Sales have quadrupled thanks to the promotion. Owner Mark Muller “recommends a Kel-Tec .380 pistol, which he describes as ‘a nice little handgun that fits in your pocket’.”

Muller explains: “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.”

Get it right, Obama. They’re not clinging to their guns. Their Kel-Tecs rest comfortably in their pockets.

Thanks Sebastian!
