Buy A Boat, Get An Assault Rifle Free
Dealer Offers Free AK-47 With Purchase


ANDERSON, S.C. -- An Upstate boat and tractor dealer is offering a
voucher for a free assault rifle with major purchases.

The marquee outside Carolina Tractor and Marine reads “Free AK-47 With
Purchase.” A partner in the dealership, Henry Jordan, said he got the
idea after seeing a story on FOX News Channel about a Missouri car
dealership about a week ago.

Jordan said he is trying to clear out his end-of-year inventory so he
can begin ordering for next year. He said he was just looking for
something that would catch people’s attention.

“We thought, ‘You know what? Every man ought to have a fishing boat, a
pickup truck and a tractor and they certainly need a good gun to protect
themselves and their family,” Jordan said. “We believe in the 2nd
Amendment. We believe, in fact, it’s a man’s responsibility to protect
his family.”

Jordan said that since he started the promotion he has sold a boat and a
riding lawnmower. He said the free-gun deal will run until Labor Day.
Anderson County Sheriff John Skipper said he does not have a problem
with the promotion.

“The AK-47 is a gun that anybody can purchase as long as they qualify,”
Skipper said. “I think any gun in the hands of a responsible person is
worth having.”
****in' brilliant.
If it were up to the NRA, those AK's would be full auto.
Went to the dealership yesterday and that's the only thing holding up
the boat deal....




Heck, Gene, you could probably *build* a full auto AK-47 from scratch in
your shop from sheet metal stock you've got kicking around. I've seen
complete plans and drawings on-line.

To keep it on-topic here, you could call it...the BOAT-AK.

In realty, years (and we're talking decades) ago, some of my students
built guns in my Machine Shop classes. We exhibited those (along with
other projects) at fairs. I had one especially talented student that
built a matched set of derringers. One man, taken by the
craftsmanship, pulled a check out of his pocket, signed it, and told
the kid to fill in any amount he wanted....

Now, in this modern PC world, I guess we'd all just go to jail.....


I dunno. I think if you stay away from violations of the National
Firearms Act, you'd be okay. I have a friend out in Virginia who builds
- from scratch - his own black powder rifles and pistols. He doesn't
sell them, but he has given a few away over the years.

Of course, possession of a full auto firearm would require a bit of
federal paperwork. Probably the manufacture of same, too.

As soon as I sold my .22LR Ruger Mark III Hunter, I bought a sodapop can
and paper target "assault" rifle, a Thompson Center rifle in .22LR. It's
only a semi-auto, but the dealer tossed in a brick of el cheapo ammo.

Harry,
If you read what Gene wrote, instead of worrying about how you were
going to turn the conversation back to talking about you, you would have
realized that Gene said his students (as in children in school).
Today, students can not talk about guns, draw pictures of gun, bring in
theater props of guns or a plastic popgun to school.

Give him a kiss! The conspiracy nuts have been stocking up on powder

high and made many things quite difficult to obtain. That even goes
for black powder......

I know of guys buying cases of ammo, waterproofing them, and burying
them in the back yard. When the "end-times" don't materialize as
expected, in a few years they'll be out there like squirrels trying to
find that out-of-date ammo.

Can't remember the details, but when I a bit too young to think
clearly, I buried a cheap briar pipe to "age" it.
No waterproofing of course.
Unfortunately, I remembered where I buried it.
Fortunately, I never tried that with my meerschaums.

I have a childhood BFF whose mother, now deceased, was an Orthodox Jew,
and kept her kitchen according to the strictest laws of kashrut. I
remember once when we were in junior high I was spending a long weekend
holiday up at his parent's house in Waterbury when his mama
inadvertantly mixed up something regarding silverware and ran out into
the back yard to "cleanse" the offending item by shoving it into the
ground few times. She told me this was "tradition," not Jewish law.

Burying ammo...now that is funny. Better the birthers bury themselves
and have someone push the dirt in on them.

*snerk
That's a pretty good offer, but I have cars and a bunch of so-called
Assault Rifles"
So I'm not going for it.
Good for you Tim. *I'm sure Jesus would commend you.
Oh yeah, and for the record, I live right across the street. (about 75
feet) from a *grade school play ground.

Hopefully you're not a postal worker.

Tim's okay. It's trash like Herring, FloridaJim, et al, that might go
postal.

Sorry, don't understand the need to own an AK47, especially by someone
who's relationship with Jesus seems so important.

I think Tim's okay too, I just don't understand his conflicting
allegiances.

I have no conflicting allegiance. *I like my firearms and the right to
own them.

I don't worship them.

You worship a man, lord, father who'd have absolutely nothing to do
with guns and would certainly preach against them.

That you don't recognize that is pretty astounding.

Of course that is your opinion.

Of course it's your opinion that being a follower of Jesus and owning
AK 47s and supporting the NRA fit nicely.

Bloody delusional. The very definition of cognitive dissonance.

And someday you'll explain yourself, likely not to me.

And let me save you the response; yes, it's my opinion.
