BUTLER, Missouri - Salesmen at a Missouri car dealership are not just kicking in a free CD player or air conditioner. They are offering a free handgun with every purchase.

Through the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have a choice - $250 toward either a gun purchase or gasoline.

General manager Walter Moore says that so far, most buyers have chosen the gun, adding that he suggests they opt for a semiautomatic model "because it holds more rounds."

In the fine print, the ad on the website explains, "Check written toward purchase price" and also mentions, "Approved Background Check REQUIRED!!"

Mr. Moore says he suspects his "Free Handgun" ad will draw protests in some places. But not in Butler, about 100 kilometres south of Kansas City.

Mr. Moore says, "Down here, we all believe in God, guts and guns."

Who would want gas when you can get a new gun?

Oh, you're actually on the forum. I'd thought you were absent...

$250 toward gas gets about 63 gallons. A gun gets you as many gallons as you want!

what is the control to make sure the background checks are being completed?

Well, of course this is news to some sissy that measures distance in kilometers.

How many kilometres is it from Kansas City to Butler?

::spits chaw:: Ya ain't from 'round here, are ya?

Well, this was reported in the Canadian Press.....

And if you're lucky, a car too.

::bites off fresh plug of Red Man::
What kind of sissy measures distance in keelomeeters?

Look, hon, it's an honest-to-goodness peckerwood!
Should we take its picture?
