Probably the Best Controversy in Years

Get one of these...

According to CBSnews, a Missouri truck dealership by the name of Max Motors in Butler had offered those who purchased a truck from the dealership one of the best deals I have personally heard in years. A free AK platform rifle would be given to any customer who purchased a truck. However, the owner of the dealership, Mark Muller, was not just handing out rifles to anyone, instead, he was giving vouchers to those who were of stable mind and possessed a concealed carry permit. After the voucher was obtained, the customer would be required to bring the voucher to a Federal Firearms Licensed dealer, or FFL dealer. Once the voucher was brought to an FFL dealer, an AK platform rifle would then be given to the customer after a background check was conducted. The whole point behind choosing an AK rifle, instead of some other form of advertising, was to create controversy. He knew the firearm would create controversy simply because the AK is one of the most iconic firearms in the world. It is suspected that approximately 70-100 million AK rifles were in circulation in the year 2005. It has been produced by almost every other country in the world as well, including China, Romania, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Most AK rifles are relatively cheap, yet decently portable, but oddly heavy for a standard infantry rifle of its size. Of course, the AK has received a terrible reputation due to the common use of AKs in war zones and sales on the black market. I personally am a major fan of the AK platform rifle, so therefore I do not mind the handout of vouchers for AK platform rifles by Mark Muller. I also disagree with the distaste toward the rifle and outlook at them as the "bad guy's gun," as the AK is a great rifle that has the capability to hit targets at great distances and is extremely reliable. I would be very happy to see more AKs used by law abiding citizens to get rid of the stigma.
