Free handgun with every car

How can this possibly be....???

Free handgun promotion sees car sales quadruple
Brand Republic 23-May-08

NEW YORK - A Missouri car dealer has said that sales have quadrupled since it launched a promotional deal giving away a free handgun with every vehicle sold.

The dealer, Max Motors, came up with the offer after comments made by US presidential hopeful Barack Obama, about people in the Mid-West "clinging to their guns and Bibles".

The alternative to a handgun is $250 worth of credit to spend on petrol -- but the owner of Max Motors, Mark Muller, told the BBC that most people "except one guy from Canada and one old guy" had gone for the handgun.
