As this decade wore on, people started to take a look around and see a few problems with Hummers. Like why, more often than not, is a three-ton vehicle being driven one-handed by a solo dude with spiky hair, a hockey jersey and a cell phone stuck to his ear? Even more sinister, some people felt the Hummer was a symbol for wretched excess and conspicuous consumption.

The actual story is that struggling Hummer dealers were desperate to sell anything, since people just aren't buying giant SUVs that get single digit MPGs during the worst recession since the Hooverville. Enter Lynch Hummer in Missouri, which combined the sale of fire arms with Hummers.
