Schnucks for Schmucks

"My message is simple: Mom, Grandma, Uncle, Dad, give us the guns," he says. "Give us the guns, because that same gun that is in your house may be a weapon used to hurt someone very badly." [More]
Better hand over those matches, too. They might be used to burn someone.

Of course this won't make a dent in the underlying problem except to make things more dangerous for anyone stupid enough to listen to him. The important thing is, "officials" got lots of press for "doing something."

And Jimmie's political future could not look more promising.

Can you explain what there is about St. Louis that’s been earning it so much of your attention lately? I was thinking maybe it was because it was your home stomping grounds, but your online bio says otherwise.

Schnucks posted all their stores against concealed carry as soon as the Missouri law was passed. In addition they donated several tens of thousands of dollar the finance the lawsuit that kept the law from taking effect until ruled constitutional by Missouri's Supreme Court.

Many Missourians still refuse to spend any money in their stores even though they are no longer posted.

H, not a thing. I try to do contributors the honor of using and acknowledging what they send me. If the principles are universal and of interest to me I post what I can. And if that happens to be where the tips come from, that's just the breaks.
