#9 From the article:"The editors thought if you didn't publish it, much of this would go away," said Ed Jones, 81, a photographer at The News from 1942 to 1987.Just like the MSM and the islamonutz. The more things change, the more they remain the same. :-( |

| #8 Keeping guns from blacks was one of the first motivations for the gun control movement. Check out the Jim Crow laws. |

| #7 Slightly OT : quite a while back, in a rebuke of Michael Moore "Bowling for Columbine", I read that the NRA actually helped arm black people back in that era (Charlton Heston was a civil rights actvist too, IIRC), contrary to the MM's allegations of it being a quasi-fascist racist org (and his overall thesis of "Amerikkka loves guns because whitey is insecure and afraid of colored people", which is an almost funny way of taking on gun violence in a country where the vast majority of gun-related deaths occur in drug riddled areas between minorities members). Anyone can confirm/expand on that? If true, that's just one more FACT that the LLL will refuse to acknowledge, even though it should be easily verifiable. That said, even if not true, I, for one, say we put it into effect in Sudan right away! |

| #6 I don't understand his/her comment either, DB, but Jim & Nick's is one of the best places to pick up some good BBQ. |

| #5 I believe the name of the newspaper is The Birmingham News. Never heard of the Times. Lived there for 10 years, too. I don't understand your comment, JimandNicks. |

| #4 I'll have the stuffed potato with sweet tea. I won't be able to eat it all, but I can roll the leftovers up in that B'ham Times and give it to my Rotties. They love BBQ and neither of them read. A perfect use for that leftest rag paper. |

| #3 Condi Rice mentions a tense period during her childhood in Alabama, when her father and other black men patrolled their streets carrying shotguns. It's one reason she favors gun rights. |

| #2 Good article. I lived about 3 miles from the Selma to Montgomery Highway when the March took place. I will never forget the TV footage of angry, hate-filled white men screaming at the marchers who did their utmost to remain calm and try to ignore the slurs and curses. My Dad was a Baptist Preacher at the time and I recognized a couple of people from the church. I think that's when my separation from organized religion started. A5089, I have been a member of the NTA for almost 20 years. we look at this disarming of ANY American Citizen as a violation of 2nd Ammendment rights. "The right of the populace to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The NRA is open to any and all, but just like any large organization we do have our share of wingnuts. Thankfully they are a very small minority. |
