Kalifornia takes action!

Governor Grey Devious was quick to respond to allegations he wanted to outlaw private ownership of Mercedes Benz vehicles. In a press release the governor pointed out his proposed ban applied only to the Assault Mercedes used by the USMC, and the civilian versions, including the ML. He described the assault vehicles as easily identified by their black color, and called Daimler Chrysler to task for their "...shallow and cynical attempts to hide the true nature of these weapons by offering them in other colors and adding wood trim, as if they were legitimate sporting or luxury vehicles." He further indicated that the ban may be extended in the future to include any black SUV (semi-utomatic vehicle), especially to inexpensive 'Saturday Night Special' imports.
