CNN reported that people were choosing the gun 80% of the time over the free gas. In the video they showed on CNN the car dealership owner was showing off a Kel-Tec, so I assume that was the gun they were offering.

Its a line from the original Star Wars (Episode IV). Han Solo says it to Luke about halfway through the movie.

Rush said the next promo was going to be a free King James bible to any Muslims that convert to Christianity...I think there is a church in Chicago that probably could use a few King James Bibles
