I'm amazed that in a state as poor as Mississippi an elected official would try to block a gun manufacturer from locating in that state! I'm not sure if he's just ignorant about how guns are distributed and sold or if he knows that a plant won't mean more sales and still opposes the plant so he can get on TV and talk to people who are ignorant about guns.
