Mayor James Perkins was on the scene after the shooting...... "We've got to get these guns off the streets," he said. "They need to bring these guns in and we've got to stop this. I'm making an appeal that the citizens of Selma take these guns...and bring these guns in."

Nice to know that Selma has such a level-headed mayor.....(sarcasm)

"We've got to get these guns off the streets," he said." Whatever it takes! Whatever it takes! It's for the children, he screeched.

I've attempted to soften the racial overtones of the article:

Selma police arrested Lorenzo Oliver "Skippy" Walker Saturday, shortly after he allegedly ended his son's birthday party with a hail of bullets.

The shooter was outside the Highland Avenue McDonald's and began firing at Latoya Gwyneth "Buffy" Powell, after the two had left the restaurant while arguing.

one must not forget that the reason walker pulled the gun which by right he could possess, is because he was relatively certain that no one else would be armed.

if affronted with a society that was most likely armed and aware of his violent nature represented by the fact that he was arguing with a pregnant woman in public, he most likely would have been subdued by numerous manly men capable of hitting a target and eliminating senseless statements by a grandstanding mayor.

Every time I've eaten at McDonald's, I've been tempted to shoot the cooks.

When guns are banned, only criminals, the Hood, and Islamic terrorists will have guns.
