Missouri Car Dealer To Give Away AK-47 With New Truck 66
Frizbie writes "Max Motors in Butler, Missouri is giving away free AK-47 assault rifles with the purchase of a new truck. The promotion starts in the beginning of August. The video of CNN's coverage of the promotion shows Mark Muller being interviewed by a woman who was taking a very strong stand against what Muller had to say; however, it seems to have backfired pretty heavily."

Yeah I agree why would someone get offended about an AK47 giveaway with vehicle purchase. I would be kind of offended that you had to choose an AK since the AK is not that accurate, would prefer a CETME or maybe m14, but if it is a voucher I guess you could use it towards the purchase of whatever you wanted.
I am so glad I live in the state of Texas where we still have the right to defend ourselves. The news anchor was a bit over the top on her line of questioning and was not being fair and balanced. Who cares what everyone thinks about guns, this the the USA and our founding fathers were intelligent enough to give us the right to defend ourselves with arms (knives guns swords, chainguns, uzi's, rocket launchers, backyard nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons, etc). Alright I think I may have gone a TAD overboard with chemical and biological weapons, but can we at least have small nukes? I mean is that too much to ask.
Seriously though, he is right, 15 minutes is enough time to do some serious damage. An AK 47 has a general capacity of 30 rounds (I know there are bigger and smaller capacities). If we are limited to a 10 round magazine or whatever that means 10 chances to kill 7 invaders (referring to the attack he mentioned). When you are under attack you don't place rounds very accurately and there is the adrenaline factor to consider. 30 rounds is still only 4 rounds (I know it is more than 4 but you can shoot 1/5th of a round) per attacker. Also once the AK started going off most people would run away, though meth users might not. Also if someone is hyped up on drugs it may take more than one round to bring them down. I'm sorry, but that news anchor was just plain wrong and probably lived a very sheltered prissy pants life and is not qualified to make life and death decisions.
The right to keep and bear arms is the fundamental right that protects all others. I am also an Atheist but the right to worship any God you want is what this country is about and I will protect that right along with all the others, even this woman's right to free speech, even though I do not agree with what she is saying (or rather implying) in the slightest.
I know there are lots of differing opinions and meant this to be respectable and honest. If you don't like what I said, too bad, if you do not like how I said it, you have my sincere apologies.
Cheers
