Buy Car, Get Gun Free

Posted May 23, 08 4:34 CDT in US 

(Newser) – Sales have shot up at a Missouri car dealership with a novel new promotion, reports the BBC. Anybody buying a new car at Max Motors before the end of the month gets a $250 gas card—or a gun. The "God, Guns and Gas" deal was inspired by Barack Obama's comments about small-towners clinging to guns and religion, according to the owner, who recommends a particular "nice little handgun" that fits in a pocket.

"We're just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want to," he added
