Those purchasing a vehicle at Max Motors in Missouri will receive an AK-47 assault rifle with their purchase during the month of August.

This is the second consecutive year the dealership has given away vouchers for a firearm as part of a sales promotion.

The logo at Mark Muller's dealership is a nod to his feelings about guns - with an old west caricature pointing two pistols at those who pass by. He said it's a nod to what he calls "big city" ways.

CNN anchor thinks the idea is “irresponsible” and having a weapon for self defense is not a “good argument.”

You wont find me at this dealership anytime soon not that I don't believe in the 2nd Amendment but I do find it odd giving a semi assult weapon with every car bought lol... I do love their moto though "God, Guns, Guts and American Pickup Trucks".

From the article.

The actual promotion gives those who buy a vehicle a voucher redeemable at a gun shop for the $450 dollars it costs to get an AK-47. "That way it separates you from anything bad that could happen," Muller said. "We'll put it in the hands of professionals who do this every day."

You get a voucher, and take the voucher to a Gun Shop; still requiring you to go through all the necessary red tape of getting a firearm.

No, people just got lazy and started to call "Semi-Automatics" "Auto's" or "Automatics". The term "Automatic" refers to some one only pulling the triger once or pushing a button once. When something is "Automatic" it reffers to a machine or mechanism that continues operation until either is is out of "Supplies" or has an intervention in its cycle. When you have a "Automatic" transmission you only select the gear once. When a manufaturing system is "Automatic" or "Automated" the machine is started and continues to run on it's own accord until it runs out of "Supplies" or is stopped. I know this is arguing semantics but it is a needed argument to take some of the "Fear" out of semi-automatic rifles and pistols which are no more dangerous than their bolt action or revolving action counter parts.

A "Semi-Auto" requires a trigger pull each time a bullet is fired. Yes machine guns are "Automatic" but so is a M4 but yet it is not a machine gun. A M4 is a battle rifle with both "Automatic" and "Semi-Automatic" actions combined into both. There for an M4 is a hybrid, wich is the true "Assault Rifle". Our "Semi-Automatic" rifles are not "Assault Rifles" due to the fact that they do not have the select fire capabilities.

Sorry not trying to be a butt just trying to clarify to terminology that seems to have been lost in translation through the media and even alot of gun owners.
