What They Said

About “Haslam Sticks to His Guns” and his position on gun control:

“If I have an unencumbered right to own and carry a firearm, can I own a working .50 caliber Browning machine gun or an operational howitzer? Why the restrictions on owning fully automatic or military grade weaponry?” — packrat

About “Going National” and the 2010 election:

“How many times is the City Council going to reverse what the people vote for, only to reverse their reverse and put the item back on the ballot? Is this not the third time for the city employee residency requirement?” — mad_merc

Comment of the Week:
