And gets exactly the intended result - media coverage, and therefore free publicity to a wider audience.

Exactly, what's wrong? Anyone getting a gun wil have to go through the FBI background checks and the mandatory cooling-off epriod anyway, so it's a crap story....

I'm booking my tickets as we speak, I'm not sure if I'll be able to bring my Magnum .44 back in hand luggage or if it will need to go in the hold!

Who was copying the free gun when you open a bank account!

Tens of thousands of Americans shoot each other every year - this is unlikely to impact those figures to any degree and I for one don't think we should discourage colonials from shooting each other as it's pretty much part of the culture over there.

One of these pops up every few months, even before they started using it to 'combat the recession.' Why are people still shocked/supsrised/scared?

But it will help to increase speeding motorbike duels at 90mph on an interstate!

There is nothing unusual in carrying a gun somewhere on your bike when riding in the States,friends & family of mine always carry arms as is their right.

Well that would liven up the M3 on a Wednesday afternoon.

Get the lingo right first. It's a .44 Magnum.

Everyone knows Harley riders are at risk from shotgun wielding rednecks; it makes sense that they get a free gun to defend themselves from such attacks.

At 90mph on a Harley, I'd be impressed if someone could take their hand off the bars to draw the gun, let alone fire it accurately

I didn't think Harley made a bike that could reach 90mph (without the assistance of a very steep hill, anyway!)

They need to throw in the matching t-shirt.
