Town requires head of house to own and firearm

unfortunately they had to choose and detail possibly the worst example of that community :rolleyes:

Dent "Wildman" Myers, 76, styles himself as a keeper of the flame when it comes to Kennesaw's gun ordinance. His downtown shop contains a cornucopia of artifacts, including old uniforms and dozens of flags of the Confederacy that fought the Union in part in defense of slavery in the Civil War. At the back is a Ku Klux Klan outfit with a noose and a hood.

There also are posters praising defenders of the white race, White Power CDs and a sign that reads: "No Dogs Allowed, No Negroes, No Mexicans." Someone had crossed out the first part of the sign and added "Dogs Allowed."

Myers said he wanted to protect the values that made the town and the South distinct from other parts of the United States.

Even if that man has no such feelings it shows the rest of us - even, somehow, those of us with darker skin - in a terrible light. When someone reads this article they're going to make the connection between gun ownership and racism.

Thanks, Reuters. :barf:
 
Agreed, poor taste, unfortunate that he was interviewed. It just sticks the stereotype that much deeper, and hurts the cause of gun-rights.

Though it is a bit weird how often guys like that will be gun guys. (Don't get me wrong! I'm saying they are often gun guys, but gun guys are rarely like them.) Makes gun-rights a much harder sell when you walk into the Valley Forge Gun Show and each year the first stand you see is full of Nazi Regalia. :(
