I highly doubt that the people who go out and register their firearms and have the proper documentation are the ones committing the crimes

Last year, Max Motors in Butler, MO gave away free handguns with the purchase of a new vehicle. The promotion was such a success that the dealership is at it again, but this time with a more Russian flair. Buy a new truck at Max Motors, and you'll receive a voucher for a free AK-47.

Max Motors owner Mark Muller has generated all kinds of media coverage for his bombastic deal, even appearing on CNN to defend the promotion. Muller explains the dealer isn't simply passing out AKs to anyone who purchases a truck. Instead, truck buyers receive a voucher that can be redeemed at any reputable gun shop, where proper background checks must legally be run, etc.

God, guns, guts and American pickup trucks is Max Motors' motto, and Muller says the firepower is needed in MO due to a persistent Meth problem that has contributed to a high crime rate. For more, follow the jump to view Muller's recent CNN interview.

All I can say is wow

. We don't need more AKs floating around the public.


What are you crying about? You still need license to receive the gun from the voucher.

like I said earlier in this thread, the person may be lawful and get a license but someone could steal a gun from the rightful owner and use it for the wrong reasons. You do know that happens here in America, right?


Ok and? What are you trying to say? Take away the right to bear arms?




Where did I say anything like that? Of course not. What I was hoping to get out of this thread was to point out how ridiculous promotions are getting thesedays. Why does a truck buyer need a high power weapon? Can't the dealership offer free hunting guns? I'm all for the right to bear arms, but the waythis dealership is handling it seems just wrong to me.

Im pretty sure, the people buying the trucks are not buying them for the voucher for an AK.

Someone can get an AK for around $400 in a shop, its not like they aren't that accessible anyway.

Dang, only $400, never knew that. I know that almost any gun is accessible but in today's economy, you don't know what that truck buyer may do withthe voucher to make a quick buck. It's just my personal belief that guns shouldn't be used as promotions.

did you know many hunting rifles are far more powerful than what the ak shoots? which is the 7.62x39, which is often laughed at by big gamepurist.

and this is montana, a red state known for absolutely nothing but hunting and fishing. Now if they made this offer to some communist/socialist state such askalifornia it would make sense to keep these weapons away, but I feel for those legal gun enthusiast in kali who has to suffer from those nonsense gun lawsimposed on them.

MO = Missouri
MN = Montanta

The concept still applies, though.

assaults weapons bans expired a while ago so this isn't really a big deal.
