Free Gun With Car Purchase
Of course, we don't live in Butler, MO, where car dealers give away a free gun with every purchase. That's right. You read that correctly. A free gun with the purchase of a car. Um hmmm. Perhaps, that would make the process even less painful... Of course, buyers can opt for a gas card worth $250 instead of the gun coupon, but sources say that only a couple of folks have chosen that option so far.Can you say bigot?
Can you say redneck?
The very next sentence should provide her with a clue:
Apparently, this dealer's sales have quadrupled since offering this lovely little incentive.Lovely, indeed. Looks like the salesman's on to something.
When interviewed,You have your redneck-isms wrong. Joe always comes before Bob in the masculine. If used in the feminine, then Bobbie comes before Jo. Jeez, if you want to talk down to us, at least get the names straight. Ok, at least you got Billy right, that should count for something.Billy Bob Joethe General Manager touted this promotion as a way for the citizens of his town to protect themselves against the violence that's happening all across America.
She ends up her little snit with the following:
This story wouldn't be complete without this final little nugget:
I assume her point is because of the low crime rate, there is no justification to have a gun giveaway. But I have to ask, what criminal in their right mind would try something in that town? The potential victims might be armed, after all.The town of Butler, MO where this promotion is being held is a booming metropolis of 4,200 people. The police chief reports that there hasn't been an armed robbery in over 25 years. Um, yeah...
On a side note, they have rednecks in Montana?

Technically, the term "Redneck" comes from the red bandannas worn by striking coalminers in the early part of the last century in West Virginia. So while the rest of the country may have hicks, hillbillies, white trash, and bubbas, only WV has true Rednecks. :)
I was not too long ago that banks gave away fine firearms in exchange for large deposits in long term CD's, churches offered them up as top prizes in raffles, and Sears sold them next to the Craftsman tools.
Her post not only highlights her bigotry, but her lack of experience in this world.
