Tennessean Handgun Permit Poll

There is a bill on capital hill that if passed, will allow Tennesseans with handgun permits to carry their guns inside public parks. So, today the Tennessean put up a poll asking the following question.

Should Tennesseans with handgun permits be allowed to carry weapons in public parks and on playgrounds?
...and on playgrounds? I guess we know where the editors at the Tennessean stand on the issue. At the time I voted, nearly 87% of voters voted "yes" anyway.

I bring all of this up because Shorpy's blog posted a very funny picture today. A kid carrying a gun and a smoker's pipe from 1938. View it here. I got a kick out of it.

The Tennessean shows it's true colors once again. I know it seems lame to jump on the media over and over, but I think it's reached the point that so many people know their intent that The Tennessean doesn't even bother hiding it anymore.

Seriously...and playgrounds? I'm writing the poll question next week:

Child molesters are sexually abusing children everyday all across the nation. Do you like child molesters and chocolate ice cream?
