WASHINGTON (AFP) – A truck dealer and gun rights supporter in Florida has tripled his sales by offering a free AK-47 assault rifle to all new buyers, he said on Monday.

"My sales have increased three-fold," Nick Ginetta, of the Nations Trucks dealership in the central town of Sanford, told AFP. He said his clientele is mostly hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen.

"If I (were) selling Hyundais, I would not go for that. It wouldn't attract my customer base," he added.

He unveiled the offer last week in a show of support for US troops ahead of Veterans Day.

"A lot of veterans have given a lot of sacrifice for this country, for our rights, and one of the rights that we have is the ability to own firearms," Ginetta, himself a veteran, said.

In the last four days he has handed out 21 vouchers for new AK-47s that can be used at a local gun shop, where he has reserved 100 of the assault rifles at wholesale prices.
