Message to Obama: Buy a Car Get a Gun
News out of Kansas City yesterday:
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 said 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 Texas, you had to buy a house to get a gun. In Missouri, we have us some different standards. Why are they offering money for guns with their cars? Check out this quote from Mark Muller, the owner of Max Motors in Butler, Missouri south of Kansas City:
We did it because of Barack Obama. He said all those people in the Midwest, you’ve got to have compassion for them because they’re clinging to their guns and their Bibles. I found that quite offensive,” said Muller.
We all go to church on Sunday and we all carry guns,” Muller said in the interview. “I’ve got a gun in my pocket right now. I have a rifle in my truck. We’ve got to shoot the coyotes out here, they’re attacking our cows, our chickens. We’re not clinging to nothing. We’re just damn glad to live in a free country where you can have a gun if you want. This is the way it ought to be.”
I’d say that’s two votes for McCain.
No one is forcing car buyers to purchase guns, they have the freedom to make their own choices. This is what makes our country great; two citizens exercising their right to free speech, celebrating the right to bear arms, and making a nice profit for their business. Of course we may need to start working on a series of anti-road rage public service announcements or teach drivers to duck…
