defrogSpeaking of bullets and right-wing car dealers ...
ITEM [via Neatorama]: If yr in Butler, MO between now and May 31, Max Motors has a special offer: buy a used car, get a free handgun.
Or a $250 gas card. Yr choice.
According to owner Mark Mueller, they’ve quadrupled their usual business, and everyone’s taken the gun except for an old guy and a Canadian.
My first thought was, “Where are they getting the guns?” Followed closely by, “So, what kind of gun do you get?”
Further investigation revealed that you don’t actually get a gun, but a $250 voucher for one. That makes more sense – that way, you can choose yr model (Mueller recommends the Kel-Tec P3AT .380 – perfect for sneaking into school). Plus, I couldn’t see state authorities allowing a car dealership to give away guns, not even in Missouri, where they do require background checks.
Even so, I do still wonder about these people who figure that they’d rather have a gun than $250 of free gas – especially these days.
Maybe it’s because the gas card would get used up too quickly these days, but you’ll have the gun forever. And you can use the gun to rob gas stations. “Teach a hungry man to fish, and you feed him for life,” etc.
Anyway, as right-wing business strategies go, I suppose it’s more sensible than telling 14% of yr heathen customer base to fuck off – although a quick visit to his Guns And Gas blog indicates that Mark is very much about the Christian America. Because any Christian will tell you that if Jesus were here today, he’d totally be packing heat. It's in the Bible and stuff.
I shot the devil,
This is dF
