MLK owned guns and applied for a concealed weapons permit in Alabama... to protect his civil rights. (He had good reason to fear that the Klan in Alabama was targeting him for assassination.)

Off topic... Why people print stuff like this? It just gives the publication as a whole a bad reputation.
Check out the author of the editorial LEWIS W. DIUGUID. He has written a lot of these types of articles. He has even written a book. I wonder if the circulation of the Kansas City Star is down in the dumps, like most newspapers.

The main thing that angers me about this post is that the Austin paper actually reprinted this garbage.
One commentator said that guy wrote about banning Viagra once because it caused rapes. I wouldn't doubt that he did, but I'm not buying his book.

Re: Gun violence as a "civil rights" issue

society should be held responsible and accountable for the actions of guns
I don't trust society to clean the action and lubricate it. I'd rather take personal responsibility for my guns' actions. :mrgreen:
