The Mississippi State Senate has passed a bill that will allow church members to attend worship with unregistered guns, which even in Mississippi is illegal. Apparently in the "great State of Mississippi" it is okay to break a law if its legislators have a law countermanding another law, which begs the question of how does one know if an illegal law can be broken say on a Wednesday or a Sunday?

Not satisfied with this bending the knees to the almighty gun, the Mississippi Senate went on to approved a law allowing churches to post untrained, gun totting security guards at their church doors to keep out dangerous would be attendees. Actually, only the armed guards themselves are new as that southern state has been keeping gays and people of color out of their places of worship for decades without the force of weaponry.

Incredulous as the above is, the Mississippi law makers went further and refused to include in the bill the requirement for churches with firearms at the door to post a warning sign on their lawn. Would not it be safer for those churches to have security checks on entrance, as in the airports, so people could know they were entering a volatile environment?
