I asked King Loonumba just that. He hasn't responded.
Great minds think alike :-) Make sure you shoot me a link if you post an article on this.
I just submitted one to AmmoLand-- don't know if it will be released tonight or tomorrow-- there have been so many developments I expect the order could be rescinded before it's posted and asked if they could add a note to the front end if it is.

A lot like earlier days, when Jackson police officers saw a black man walking on the street, and they had to seize him and determine whether or not he had his manumission papers.
Them police sure do have tough jobs.
