CA's latest swipe at the right to carry.
I'm ok with States or Municipalities limiting the right to concealed carry, but they should also be criminally and financially liable as well.
Conceiled carry prevents Memphis’ rif raf from earning a dishonest dollar.
No wonder the paper is upset!
Fred has lots of opportunities for mischief if his twisted little brain wants to be bad and he doesn't need a gun to do it.
Pleeeeze do not confuse Memphis and Shelby County with the rest of Tennessee.
They’re afraid one of their relatives will get shot.
Do you suppose that the moron who drew this "editorial" cartoon realizes that what he's really doing, when he says "Somehow Fred got a gun permit", is highlighting the idea that government is unable to successfully control or screen people in critical situations, or provide for our safety? That his no doubt beloved bureaucrats failed in the case of "Fred"?
I absolutely LOVE Memphis barbecue, and used to love an evening on Beale, but since the renovation of the ‘other’ end of Beale and the new FedEx stadium, the area has become unbearable. I haven’t been there for quite some time now.
Dear Bill Day,
Meet me. I have no history of mental health problems.
The state of Tennessee issued me a handgun permit.
One day, when no one was home at my house, a burglar broke in, and was in the process of stealing my guns when my wife returned from the grocery store. The burglar shot and killed her.
Now, don’t you wish your rag of a newspaper hadn’t facilitated the death of my soulmate?
Sorry, I forgot to add “sarcasm on”, but this guy really had me steamed.
That is the stupidest cartoon. It’s highly more likely that someone with HIV/AIDS is going to spread it to someone else, even though warned not to engage in unprotected sex, than it is for Joe Nutcase to get a concealed carry to pop someone who stepped on his cat’s tail.
If Fred was documentably dangerously unstable, I’d rather know about that than know that he’s armed. A person who would be inclined to kill anyone who stepped on his cat’s tail, even if armed with only common household objects (knives, hammers, etc.), would be far more dangerous than a person who is armed to the death but would have no such homicidal tendencies.

Why aren’t we registering AIDS/HIV positive people?
Never know when a mentally unstable HIV positive person might get upset with folks in general and try to spread thier gift.
Bill Day spends his entire life bashing the GOP and anything conservative. Why liberals end up at all Southern newspapers is a mystery when the region is definitely conservative.
I wish everyone would just drop their subscriptions in protest. Another great tea party idea! How about it? Maybe have public burnings of newsprint?
I can go along with that.
But then I'd also like to know if any of my neighbors was ever convicted for: Arson, Robbery, BURGLARY, Car Theft, Shop Lifting, Embezzlement, Heroin Possession/use or selling, etc, etc. After, all that is 'Public Information too.
But why stop there?
Many 'journalists' are known drug users and live a ... 'dangerous lifestyle' and engage in .. uh .. 'unnatural' relations. Then their names and addresses should be made public too? As I'd like like to know if any neighborhood pets are in danger of being sexually violated.
~~sarc off ~~ (except for the last part)
if the people of this country get pushed past the breaking point, a lot of these press idiots are going to wind fertilizing Mr Jeffersons tree
Bill Day is a liberal’s liberal. I have YET to see one of his offerings featuring The One. It’s going on seven weeks into this national nightmare and Day has yet to draw The One like he did Bush. He drew Bush with ape-like looks. He did that from the time he came to the Commercial Appeal. And I’ve hated him ever since. Michael Ramerez is a great political cartoonist. I wish we had had him back at the CA. A lot of his cartoons have been posted here at FR.
Just about every day of Bush’s term, Day did a cartoon critical of Bush. Not once did he ever acknowledge any good thing President Bush did.
As you said, he’s a liberal’s liberal. And so is the CA for the most part.
