I saw this in the online edition of the Des Moines Register

Is mayor for guns or against them? How inviting is the welcome mat?

January 31, 2007

The city of Des Moines continually courts events that will bring visitors to the city and Iowa. One such event was the Pheasant Fest. We also love to see the hunters come to hunt deer and other wildlife.

Unfortunately the mayor of Des Moines has chosen to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns [an organization with a mission statement of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off our streets."] The two don’t go together. Is Mayor Frank Cownie in favor of gun money or is he opposed to it?

We have a long history of hunting and related shooting sports in Iowa. Don’t jeopardize these traditions and insult the law-abiding citizens in Des Moines and Iowa.

I got to wondering, are those mayors involved with the MAIG FOR legal guns? Maybe they can produce a list of guns that are acceptable to their organization? I checked their FAQ Section, nope, no list of guns they like. I did a search for LEGAL GUN on their site and the two words only appear once together there, with regards to a legal case against a gun shop.

I wonder if the organization is really “Mayors Against Guns”? They don’t seem to acknowledge there is such a thing as a “legal gun”.

Benn Hinny, in conjunction with Windup Records, Drowning Pool, and the Universal Church of the Almighty Dollar, has released his first “direct to Youtube” music video “Let The Suckers Hit the Floor”. He hopes this will be the first in a long line of internet hits that will rocket him into international popstardom and help continue to line his pockets with other peoples money for a long time to come.

And sometimes we wonder why Christians have a tough time making inroads into popular culture. This type of snake-oil-salesman tactics unfortunately work not only on the week minded but those who are truly skeptical and fervently want to believe in something beyond themselves.

Whoever came up with the tie in to the Drowning Pool song “Bodies” has it dead on at least with regards to old Benny there. Charlatan, false teacher, but really good singer *wink*.
