"Susan Brown, a Grosse Pointe mother and local organizer, said she favors enactment of laws that would require gun owners to keep weapons secure and unloaded in their homes."

Gee, somebody from one of the richest communities in the country wants to disarm the rest of us. As Gomer Pyle used to say, "soopriize, soopriize, soopriiize."

Care to bet that, if a black guy walked through her neighborhood, she'd be on the phone with 911 in New York second?
