Truth to Power

Guns or gas? Guns win in Missouri

God, guns and guts an easy sell

Butler, Missouri – Salesmen at a Missouri car dealership are not just kicking in a free CD player or airconditioner: they are offering a free handgun with every purchase.

Until the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have a choice – $250 (about R1 900) towards either a gun purchase or fuel.

General manager Walter Moore said that so far most buyers had chosen the gun, adding that he suggests they opt for a semi-automatic model “because it holds more rounds”.

Moore said he suspects his “free handgun” ad will draw protests in some places, but not in Butler, about 100km south of Kansas City.

Moore said: “Down here we all believe in God, guts and guns.” </em>

In the words of Frank Loesser:

Praise the lord and pass the ammuntion…
