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.

The offer is proving popular - sales have quadrupled so far

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.

Wonder what we would be getting next ?

A country which glorifies all the disadvantages of technology to the fullest extent in a very short period of time and emphatically driving down the drain towards its path of destruction. Seems like Nostradamus might have predicted wrong about the Middle East going to hell :p

It seems an atrocious propensity, a callous rumination, an obtrude subreption and even arcane to me towards having such an attitude. Wait till it hits India and start hating it too!! :-|

guns are a need now. Why the fug should ppl not carry guns when every street has a couple of terrorists and a handful of robbers ? Don't so called VIPs go around with gun equiped body guards ?

As long there is proper licencing and regulation of the gun, I see no reason why they should be prevented in the current scenario.

I personally don't favour guns as much as I favour personal martial arts training(esp kairali), but with everyone carrying guns around, it has become quintessential for one I guess.

me got an air gun too, but I over did target practice with my home made bullz eye, and with time limiting and all that addons, I tried to reload the gun too quickly. One day its spring just snapped, when I tried to up my shots per minute to a high value by reloading very fast. Its no more, and I am not sure if I am still a good marksman.

so,I hate USA for all the wrong laws they have.like allowing software patents,allowing monopolies like M$haft,apple to exist,allowing stupid orgs like RIAA and other corpns to use DRM in their release software along with numerous other ones.

another thing is,US and EU laws are rewrote by the influence of feminists.esp separative feminists(lesbi@n feminists who want all men to die and female-female reproduction and all other BS's )3-4 decades ago :evil: I hate that!

total effect is men are under constant fear of 911 esp any lady even a girl kid can land him in jail for 127 years :evil:

I said "words", because they haven't really been used correctly.
On the issue, I'm not really surprised, with the strong gun and tobacco lobbies within america. I wonder how obama will react to this one?

I don't give a damn to feminists.
Thats because I never make much of a distinction between guys and girls, unless it comes to *certain* things which are certainly not political.

What I want to be ensured is that if you have 10 year jail term for a guy raping a girl, have the same for a girl raping a guy.

In India, in Railway trains, staring at women is termed as harassment :X:lol::X
and there is 2 years of jail term for the men commiting this *offence*.

well, who the hell is intrested in staring at some X, Y or Z ?
and even females stare at men.
but the govt gives no damn to it.
Thats where I get REALLY PISSED OFF.

I am sick of all these "morality" related laws.
the government is not the body which decides what is moral and what is not. If you don't want to see something, then don't see it. Its that simple. But these Indian b@st@rds who are exessively conservative want to intrude on our culture and impose theirs forcefully.

While I agree that the laws are tilted a little unfairly, You have to agree that they do lots of good in actual cases where women are being harassed. And frankly, what if your wife/gf/sister/mom was being leered at by an old, disgusting man, who rubs his crotch while grinning maniacally?

That type of thing is again cultural.
And tell me, how would a guy feel if an ugly old bat of a lady looking disgusting looks at you ?
What about all those pro*titutes on certain cities trying to do "business" and attempt luring innocent cultured men ?
What about Hijiras in Bombay or Bangalore harassing shopkeepers ?

any law must have an equal balence for all people. A law in India should be made keeping a "Citizen" in mind, not a woman, child, dalit, etc.

The thread has goen completely offtopic. Even I say that such laws should be gender neutral but the crazy feminazis would never let that happen in India. Not in the next 100 years atleast.
