Crass commercialism is the way we do it now.

How many years before we get 9/11 sales?

Gun rights group to hold rally & gun giveaway at Va. Capitol on MLK day

According to the anti-gun rights group Brady Campaign, Virginia's gun laws are more restrictive than 34 other states. And now a fiesty gun rights group wants to do somthing about it.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) will rally at Virginia's Capitol Square in Richmond on Monday 16 January, 2012 (Martin Luther King Day). The purpose of the event is to lobby legislators to pass key gun rights reforms this legislative session.

VCDL is inviting gun owners and from all over the Old Dominion to report at 8:45 AM on Monday outside the General Assembly Building where they will be organized into teams to go to legislators' offices, meet with their elected officials and staffs, and hand out VCDL's Gun Bill Analysis white paper. "Gun bus" transportation is available from Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Waynesboro; gun carry is welcome at the event, including inside the Virginia General Assembly Building and Capitol (see VCDL's Alert below).

In addition to the opportunity to tour the historic Capitol Square and associated buildings, attend legislative meetings, and participate in an outdoor rally with speakers, VCDL will also be holding a gun give-away where a lucky winner will receive a .50 caliber rifle.

SALT LAKE CITY — The birthday of famed Ogden gunmaker John Browning would be celebrated as a state holiday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day under a new bill.

SB247, sponsored by Sen. Mark Madsen , R-Eagle Mountain, has yet to be drafted but is titled "John M. Browning State Holiday."

According to Senate Majority Leader Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, the holiday would be observed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the third Monday of every January.

King was born on Jan. 15, 1929, and assassinated in 1968. Browning's birthday is believed to be around Jan. 21, and he died at age 71 in 1926. Jenkins acknowledged there is concern about celebrating both men on the same day.

Made me want to

I thought Sears was folding?

I won't miss them when they do. I haven't been to a Sears or a mall in years.

use of "MLK Day" is simply shorthand to remind consumers the store will be open and offering "sales" on the day they're off of work.

You don't seriously expect everyone who has the day off tomorrow is going to devote their entire day -- and for some, more than a minute -- in contemplation of Dr King, do you?

If O'Reilly will declare this a war on Martin Luther Day.

Nahhhh!

Veteran Day sales?
Labor Day sales?
Columbus Day sales?
