Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A free AK-47 with every truck purchase! The reason given for the promotion is Missouri's meth problem. I assume the idea is to defend yourself against drug addicts trying to steal stuff rather than arming people on meth.

Local news has them all the time for the top half (or top two-thirds, really) of the state.

That's hilarious.
Looking at statistics, I think it might be Manhattan murders, rather than all of NYC.
