BUTLER, Mo. -- A local car dealer is holding a controversial promotion involving guns.


Max Motors in Butler is offering anyone who buys a car the choice of $250 in gas or a free semi-automatic handgun.


"Like I say, it's a choice -- protection or gas," said Walter Moore with Max Motors.

For an additional fee of $20 he'll even shoot your child in the head for you.

I love this argument.  More kids die riding bicycles and in swimming pools every year than they do from firearms.  So I guess we should accuse pool merchants and bicycle shops of being death merchants as well.

You can put the $250 on the gun of your choice, I think.

irresponsible parents. My grandpa had more guns than Rambo and I never played with any of them unless he was supervising... My ma had 2 9mms and a 22 rifle, and I never shot anyone, ever... Know why? they were kept locked up and unloaded

I don't think it's right for anyone but I've said this many times and I’ll be saying it many times more.

Status: offline 		It's interesting to read surivialist websites.  They tend to be gun nuts. yet they miss obvious things that can help you survive.  For example a passport is a must have if you want to escape the country.

I think a jerry can full of fuel will get you further than a firearm in an emergency.  Look at New Orleans.  It was better to leave than stay and fight it out with a pistol.

Well there's some truth to that.  But you can make a reasonably good knife with common materials fairly easily.  It's a little more difficult to make your own semi-automatic firearm with stuff in your garage.

You're not going to get much of a gun for $250 these days.

Unless he's got a deal with some gun maker, he must be handing out junk.  I'm not a fan of semiautos but one of my submissives asked me a few weeks ago to go shopping with her and she spent almost a thousand dollars for one.  I didn't see anything worth carrying for under $450.
