Dealer offers free Kalashnikov with every car
MY kind of guy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Missouri car dealer has taken a novel approach to combating the fall in US vehicle sales by offering a free Kalashnikov assault rifle with every truck, whether new or used.
Mark Muller, whose business slogan is "God, Guns, Guts, and American Pick-Up Trucks", said he had been overwhelmed by the response.
"It's extremely successful. There is a lot of worry about crime, we have a methamphetamine problem around here and people just want to protect themselves," said the boss of Max Motors near Kansas City. "And what could be better than supporting American products in these troubled times?"
Mr Muller, who only sells American vehicles, is offering a gift certificate – only to be used at a licensed dealer – for a Kalashnikov AK-47 worth $450 (£320).
Asked why an automatic weapon with a 30 or 60-round magazine was required for self-defence, he cited the case of the Florida couple recently shot dead in their homes by a gang of six robbers.
"I don't know a single shotgun would have worked for them. With an automatic they might have died, but they would have taken some of the bastards down too," he said.
Mr Muller added: "They think we are all cross-eyed rednecks down here. We are not. Tonight I am going to the theatre with my wife to see Anything Goes and we will eat sushi on the way."

He will be lauded by his competitors as a genius. I wonder what will be the counter strategy. Offering bullet proof vests!!!?/

In the US you can buy an AK (or an AR15, M-16, etc) it's just the automatic features are removed so they are single-shot rifles. Is stupid because almost anyone can then get the automatic features restored aftermarket.

We are still lucky that this happens is in the US. For at least these guys there are more civilised and have the brains when to shoot or not. Imagine if this happens in this part of the world. Every day it would be something equivalent to "Money or your Life"
