... "Still, in terms of causing puzzlement and head-scratching, Smith’s response does not rise (sink?) to the level of the amicus brief filed by the Magnolia Bar Association, filed on August 6 in support of his position. Part of the National Bar Association 'composed primarily of African-American Lawyers,' the brief actually provides some illuminating historical information, including the existence of multiple Mississippi state constitutions throughout time and various levels of legal recognition accorded to the keeping and bearing of arms throughout the state’s history." ... |

"The black community in the United States has, historically, been in favor of gun control. The ignorance of this stance is shocking, when one considers the history of gun control and its link to Jim Crowe laws. These laws were enacted across the country from the end of the Civil War up to the 1960s to maintain a system of racial segregation. Laws that withheld the right of gun-ownership from black Americans were part of this system. Democrats ... understood that no government can successfully oppress any section of the population without first disarming it. Jim Crowe laws did not simply deprive blacks of the same opportunities and resources available to whites, but ensured that the black population remained defenseless ..." ... |

"'It’s not the age, it’s the mileage,' said Indiana Jones. In my case, it’s also lack of maintenance. The fact is, though, that a lot of folks find in their older years that the favorite guns of their salad days no longer seem to work as well for them as they once did. For my part, I’m happy to have made it this long; it’s the decrepitude, not the age, that bothers me." ... |

"Just because chicken meat is white doesn’t mean it’s actually white meat from the chicken, regardless of what the commercials say. The same thing is true when it comes to 'mil-spec,' or military specification, a term that is tossed around very casually these days. While a lot of parts are advertised as being mil-spec, in truth very few of them are. This fact was really driven home this last week when I was assembling an AR carbine . . ." ... |

"It’s been the best of times and the worst of times for Tannerite lately. They recently enjoyed the victory of having their patent re-issued. Happy times in western Oregon. Until, that is, the US Forest Service issued an order banning Tannerite and similar products on federal lands in Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas Nebraska and South Dakota. While Tannerite – the real McCoy – claims theirs is the only formula that won’t start a fire (MythBuster proven!), the Forest Service isn’t discriminating enough to really care. ..." ... |

"No one has to tell the People of the Gun that ammo supply hasn’t yet caught up with demand in this post-Newtown world. Gun owners seem to have raised their fists, Scarlet O’Hara style, and vowed, “As God is my witness, I will never run out of my chosen calibers again!.” Which, if true, would go a long way toward explaining the fact that even though gun prices and availability have returned to pre-panic levels, gun food at your friendly neighborhood WallyWorld or LGS is still conspicuous by its absence. Manufacturers feel your pain…and know an opportunity when they see one. Case in point: Remington’s just broken ground on an expansion of their Arkansas ammunition plant. ..." ... |

"Full disclosure: I said this to my barista today right after completing my purchase, and she seemed a little unnerved by it. As a greeting to your Starbucks barista, 'Happy Bring Your Gun to Starbucks Day!' ranks a little below 'What a beautiful skin you are wearing' and 'That’s a very fresh-looking ear' in the annals of creepy ways to greet a person. But just a little."
"In fairness, if today’s event is not actually named Bring Your Gun to Starbucks Day, it comes close. Fans of the Second Amendment are making a point of appreciating the coffee giant." ... |

"The Southland Mall in Memphis, TN has a no guns policy. That policy apparently extends to business owners, workers and even security guards inside the mall."
"However, one shop owner carried one at his cookie shop anyway, taking a 'refuse to be a victim' mindset."
"When three men stole cash from the register, the store owner drew his 9mm handgun, chased the suspects off, and, not very smartly in our opinion, fired three 'warning shots' in the mall parking lot."
"Now the owner is facing possible eviction from the retail space he leases from the mall due to his violation of the 'no guns' policy." ... |

"'She thought he was going to do something to them, so she yelled out of her car window, 'Hey, they’re just kids, leave them alone,' said Detective Sgt. Steven Roberts ...

"In the wake of the shootings at Newtown and Aurora, gun violence in America has once again become a hotbed of debate in Washington. Even months after these tragedies, events that spark the fire of the gun control conversation seem to happen almost constantly. Both sides of the debate need to come to the table with an informed mind that is open to suggestions on how to curb gun violence, but this involves carefully looking at the proposals put into the public domain." ... |

"Rep. Tom Cotton keeps trying to remind Arkansas voters that Sen. Mark Pryor once supported some degree of gun control."
"But New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg isn’t helping."
"The group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, of which Bloomberg is chairman, has bankrolled $350,000 worth of television ads in Arkansas to hit Pryor, a Democrat, for opposing a Senate bill to expand background checks."
"For Cotton, a Republican who is challenging Pryor in a competitive Senate race and trying to portray him as anti-guns, the ads send an untimely and highly visible message to Arkansans that shows exactly the opposite." ... |

[Submitter's Note: Equally, one could wonder why it was necessary for Rosa Parks to sit at the front of the bus]
"The national Seattle-based coffee chain allows patrons to openly carry guns into the shops, if permitted by state law, as it is in 40 states. In recent years, some gun owners have shown their thanks with a "Starbucks Appreciation Day" and Friday was that day."
"An estimated 2,000 gun rights activists visited Starbucks around the country -- including several dozen at the Starbucks in Newtown, which drew alarm and consternation from many in the community."

"The early closing of the Newtown Starbucks angered people who continued to show up after 6 p.m. to go to Starbucks out of support for gun rights."

"GOVERNOR CHRISTIE signed 10 bills related to gun safety Thursday, prompting mild applause from Democrats and little negative reaction from Second Amendment groups. One reason for the muted response was that the governor hasn't taken action yet on four other gun-related bills passed this year by the Legislature."
"But a more overriding reason why this really isn't big news is because New Jersey already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. Those who want to purchase a handgun must be approved by their local police departments, and those who want to legally carry a handgun need approval from a judge" ... |

"Those actions might rile some gun enthusiasts, those who hang their hats on the Second Amendment — but they are justified."
"State Superintendent Tommy Bice believes Alabama’s new law doesn’t affect existing policies banning firearms and other weapons from school property. He said students and employees who violate the policy are subject to disciplinary action." ... |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
