mike said it. this gun sounds like a great collectors piece and stopping it from being made is not going to stop violence.

How about the mayor recognizing all the law-abiding, nonviolent gun-owners in his town? The more people acknowledging that guns aren't merely tools of violence, the less people will see them as such.

What about rappers and thugs on the streats wearing Tar Heel blue. I think that sends a worse message.

1.) Mayor Chilton is the mayor of Carrboro. I don't know why on earth he was quoted. On this issue he has as much insight and authority as any other Chapel Hill grad.
2.) The issue here isn't appropriateness, it's money. The well is a trademarked image, and unless the university's getting its cut, this company ain't using it.
3.) The bumperstick point is a very good one given that Mohamed Tehari-Azar (may have butchered spelling) tried and failed very hard at killing a bunch of UNC students using a car a few years ago.

Overall this is a case of someone playing up Chapel Hill's reputation by quoting Chilton high in the article when his comments have no business there.

Big O - That's the point. He hasn't. He is mayor in Carrboro. For the unitiated, that's the single most liberal town in North Carolina. Chapel Hill serves as a sink for liberals from other parts of the state, and those who find it too conservative mosey over to Carrboro. That said, while the town is insanely liberal, it tends to be insanely liberal in a live-and-let-live way, which is much nicer, and more comfortable for those who don't share the values of the town fathers than other liberal places i've seen.

screw Chapel Hill someone should make a muzzle loader or Rifles with Appalachain States Mountaineers Yosef head or the big A on the stock. Those would be awsome. ASU
