'Broadway Off Broad Street' Theme for Evening Shade Concert
Each year millions of music lovers and theatre-goers take in Broadway shows, spending hundreds of dollars on tickets. From Rodgers and Hammerstein to Sondheim to Lerner and Loewe and countless others, Broadway songs tell stories, evoke a response and become melodies that are implanted deep in the minds of listeners.
Instead of investing hundreds of dollars on the Great White Way, music lovers can—for free—enjoy selections from Broadway musicals "off Broad Street" at the fourth Evening Shade Concert in the Park on Friday, May 24.
The Greater Cleveland Community Band will bring Broadway to Johnston Park at no cost to the audience, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and kicking off Memorial Day weekend. These musicians are a collective group of adults who have dusted off their high school and college instruments and reached out to students currently enrolled in area schools to be a part of a community band.
"The band performs throughout the year in the area," Kyle Elrod, Evening Shade talent organizer, said. "Their repertoire appeals to a broad audience, and this is their third Evening Shade appearance."
Selections from their "Broadway Off Broad Street" show include highlights from Gypsy, by Jule Styne; Guys and Dolls Overture, by Frank Loesser; highlights from The Music Man, by Meredith Willson; Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, arranged by Michael Sweeney; highlights from South Pacific, by Richard Rodgers; Give My Regards to Broadway, by George M. Cohan; and highlights from Fiddler on the Roof, by Jerry Bock.
"Selections from Broadway musicals are always a crowd favorite," Elrod said. "This will be a great evening to kick back, relax and begin the holiday weekend."
Presenting sponsor for the May 24 concert is Garden Plaza at Cleveland.
The series is made possible each year by the Allied Arts Council (AAC) of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce. It is funded in part by local sponsors and under an agreement with the Tennessee Arts Commission.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The long wait is over for Alfonso Ribeiro. The "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star says he's wanted to be on "Dancing With the Stars" since it went on the air nearly 10 years ago. Ribeiro not only made it onto the show, he's the new champ. The winner was crowned at the conclusion of last night's season finale. It came down to Ribeiro and "Duck Dynasty" teen Sadie Robertson. Janel Parrish finished third. Ribeiro had the inside lane going into the finale. He had two sets of perfect scores from the judges on Monday's program and got another in the final dance on last night's show. Ribeiro had tears streaming down his cheeks and says he can't believe it. Dancing with the Stars will be back with its 10th anniversary season in the spring.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Even the places where Bill Cosby made charitable donations are taking sides as he denies allegations he sexually assaulted several women. High Point University in North Carolina has removed Cosby from its board of advisers. The Berklee College of Music says it will no longer award an online scholarship in Cosby's name. However, no institutions have publicly renounced the tens of millions Cosby and his wife have donated over the years. Cosby gave $20 million to Spelman College in 1988, which was the largest donation at the time by a black donor to a historically black college. A Spelman spokeswoman says there have been no discussions about changes regarding Cosby's gift. Cosby and his wife have also made sizable donations to the Morehouse School of Medicine, the U.S. National Slavery Museum in Fredericksburg, Virginia; the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; and St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. Temple University says Cosby is still a trustee there.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shia LaBeouf (SHY'-uh luh-BUF') was in a New York City court yesterday to show proof he's been in treatment after he disrupted a Broadway performance of "Cabaret" in June. LaBeouf appeared in court for a status hearing. He was arrested after he attended a performance of "Cabaret" and yelled at the actors, swore at security guards and smoked throughout. If he stays in treatment for at least three months and out of trouble for six, his case will be dismissed.

From Jill Sklar's and Annabel Cohen's book, Eating for Acid Reflux. They say in its intro, "Roasting vegetables adds flavor to this soup without adding GERD-offensive spices. It's extremely low in fat and full of fiber, so it's filling and perfect as part of a weight-loss regime. This soup is like a garden in a bowl. It's so refreshing served cold on a hot summer's evening and perfect served hot if you're not a cold soup fam. Cilantro is comforting for reflux sufferers. If you can tolerate the garlic and a bit of heat, add the garlic and hot pepper sauce. If not, leave them out."

Seidio, a leading manufacturer of premium mobile technology accessories, begins shipping the OBEX case for iPhone 5. Using advanced technology and durable materials, the OBEX, (Latin for "barrier") offers unbeatable, extreme protection against everyday drops, liquids, and dust. The OBEX for iPhone will be on display at Booth #847 at the Macworld/iWorld Show in San Francisco, Calif.
Using advanced technology and durable materials, Seidio's OBEX (Latin for "barrier") offers unbeatable, extreme protection against everyday drops, liquids, and dust. (Photo: Business Wire)
"We're excited for our consumers to check out the OBEX, and test its durability," says David Chang, CEO of Seidio. "Dunk it in water or drop it! We're confident you will have complete peace of mind with our case as it stands up to even the toughest environments because of its advanced technology and specially designed materials."
The OBEX protects against water, snow, mud and other liquids. This impressive case passed the IP68 rating which means it is both dust-tight and protected against total submersion in water. The two-stage protection system ensures all critical points of entry are sealed tight and safe. However, the specially designed case and top-quality materials guarantee protection does not obstruct functionality. Anti-reflection glass causes no interference with the camera lens, and the acrylic glass screen protector sits flush with the screen so it does not leave behind any watermark effects and retains the screen's clarity.
Seidio ran the OBEX through some serious drop tests, too. It has passed the U.S. Military Standards test, MIL-STD-810G, which evaluates the case from 4-feet drops from a variety of angles. This is due to the unique combination of Polycarbonate and Thermoplastic Polyurethane materials. Additionally, the screen protector is stamped with a 4H hardness rating to protect the device's glass from external elements.
The case will not impede radio signals or Bluetooth. Rubber stoppers are used in the important ports, and can be easily removed for access. A patent pending design case with custom padding and grids allow sound to travel through without distortion. Additionally, the OBEX will also be available as a case and locking holster combo.
The OBEX retails for $79.95, and the OBEX Combo retails for $89.95. For more information, please check out www.seidio.com/obex/.
The OBEX case line is also available for the Samsung Galaxy S III.

What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Huntington Meat Packing Inc. is recalling 864,000 pounds of beef due to potential E. coli contamination. Inside, the six different Huntington products subject to the recall. [More]
E. Coli Recall: 864,000 Pounds Of Ground Beef
Ground Beef Gains Time-Travel Ability
Nick didn't notice the label on this package of ground beef until after he brought it home. Seeing how he bought it on November 20, 2009, and the label claims that it was packaged on August 8, 2004, he's a little confused.
Why E. Coli Still Makes Its Way Into Your Meat Supply
Before you bite into that juicy hamburger, you might want to better understand how the meat industry creates, tests (or doesn't test), then distributes ground beef. A detailed investigation by Michael Moss at the New York Times proves eating it is "still a gamble. Neither the system meant to make the meat safe, nor the meat itself, is what consumers have been led to believe."
Another Month, Another Beef Recall
The summer of beef recalls continues, with the creatively named Beef Packers recalling 826,000 pounds of ground beef linked to salmonella illnesses in the western U.S.
Consumerist And Consumer Reports Will Crap All Over Your Holiday Weekend
It's Memorial Day weekend, the weather is looking nice, and people are leaving work early to hit the pool, fire up the grill, play golf, or enjoy our national pastime. We're doing none of those things, so we thought we'd ruin it for everyone else.
Whole Foods Recalls Previously Recalled Meat. What?
Whole Foods apparently never got that June memo to chuck Nebraska Beef contaminated with E. coli. The posh-man's bodega announced yesterday that they are recalling the previously-recalled beef, which Whole Foods sold between June 2 and August 6. The contaminated beef has popped up in 24 states and sickened 49 people. Noted food safety litigator Bill Marler shows us that being a lawyer can be fun by posing six amusingly litigious questions for Whole Foods…
Bush Administration To Meatpackers: Please Stop Testing For Mad Cow Disease
The USDA has appealed a district court decision that would allow meatpackers to conduct their own tests for mad cow disease, alleging that such testing would only create "false assurances." The original plaintiff, Creekstone Farms, wants to test all of its cattle for mad cow but the USDA has prevented it from buying the testing kits.
Do You Know What Grade Of Beef Taco Bell Uses? Do They? Does Anyone?
A reader sent us the contents of a Better Business Bureau complaint filed against Taco Bell. It describes how a customer tried repeatedly to find out what grade beef Taco Bell uses in its food, and how nobody at the company was able or willing to provide an answer. Not surprisingly, the BBB complaint also went unanswered. Let's just hope they're not sourcing their beef from forklift cattle, which is like downer cattle but has odd prong-shaped bruises on the side.
The Great 2008 Beef Recall's Cow Torturing Villains Revealed
Here are the booking photos of Westland/Hallmark Meat Co., employees, Jose Luis Sanchez and Daniel Navarro. They are both suspects arrested in connection with the animal abuse incident at the slaughterhouse.
Meat Industry Wants To "Unrecall" Some Of That Potentially Tainted Beef
The Wall Street Journal says that that beef industry representatives have been talking with federal food-safety regulators about possibly "narrowing the scope" of the recent record-breaking beef recall that stemmed from an undercover video showing slaughter house workers hitting sick cows with forklifts and forcing them into the slaughter box. Cows that can not stand are not allowed into the food supply because they pose an increased risk of "mad cow" disease.
Get Out Your $#%@# Checkbook! Here Comes "Food Inflation"
Think you're paying too much for food now? You're going to pay more in 2008 according to Reuters.
The FDA's announcement today that cloned beef and dairy is safe was met with criticism by several consumer groups, which isn't surprising, and the US Department of Agriculture, which is—they say that food producers should continue to honor a "voluntary moratorium" for the indefinite future…
The Truth About Kobe Beef
Real Kobe beef can only come from one region of Japan—and since the U.S. has banned Japanese beef imports due to mad cow fears, the best you can hope for now in an American restaurant is Kobe-style beef, writes Debonair Magazine. They explain what to look for if you're shopping for this premium beef in the U.S., and the best way to prepare it.
Texas: 14,800 pounds of stolen ground beef may be contaminated with E. coli, says the USDA. So, uh, just for now, don't buy any ground beef from the back of a truck. [Reuters]
Meat Sold In Bulk To Retailers And Distributors Recalled For e. Coli
Meat processed by American Foods Group of Green Bay, WI has been recalled following an investigation by the Illinois Department of Health. The meat was sold in bulk quantities to retailers and distributors and may not be easily identifiable to consumers, says the USDA:
The products subject to recall were distributed for further processing and repackaging and will not bear the recalling firm's establishment number on the package. As the use-by date for products subject to this recall may have expired, consumers can contact their retailers to ask if they received any of these products and if so, consumers are urged to look in their freezers for these products and return or discard them if found.
Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Walmart, Pathmark, Topps Meat For Selling E. Coli Tainted Beef
28 people in 8 states have fallen ill due to e. coli exposure from Topps frozen hamburgers and now a class action lawsuit has been filed against the meat processor and several grocery stores who sold the product. 10 people have been hospitalized. One has hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which causes kidney failure.

Another Moonbat Calls for Violence Against Republicans
Arianna Huffington recently attacked Roger Ailes of Fox News for permitting Glenn Beck to acknowledge the tens of millions of deaths caused by left-wing statists during the 20th century, on the grounds that it could incite a "killing spree." Yet her execrable Huffington Post soon afterwards published a piece by David Proletarian, I mean David Bourgeois, echoing the recent call by Roland Martin of CNN for metaphorical violence against those who would stand athwart Comrade Obama's path to a glorious socialist utopia.
If mentioning the Holodomor is incitement, what do you call it when a political fanatic urges the head of state to do this:
You've given it your best shot, you've tried numerous times to talk with the Republicans, to negotiate, to meet them halfway on every single matter before the American people. But they hate you for many reasons. It's time you break kneecaps. It's time to destroy the Republican Party. They don't deserve a seat at the table when all they want to do is score political points by being the Party of No.
In case the bold in the original didn't get the point across, this graphic was included:
Just rhetoric? Sure. But it was more than rhetoric when Obama's SEIU shock troops sent Ken Gladney to the hospital for protesting plans to nationalize healthcare.
Liberalism is the ideology of the thug. Don't create wealth; seize it. Don't come to voluntary, mutually beneficial agreements; decide what you want others to do and force them to do it. Violent words and violent actions are to be expected from progressives, which is why they don't want the rest of us armed.

Climate isn't the same thing as weather. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere over a short period of time; climate is the average course of weather conditions for a particular location over a period of many years.
One of the factors that influences climate is the angle of the sun's rays. In the tropics, between 23.5° N and 23.5° S, there is at least one time of year when the noontime sun is directly overhead and its rays hit at a direct angle. This produces a hot climate with relatively small temperature differences between summer and winter.
In the Arctic and Antarctic (north or south of 66.5° latitude), there are times of year when the sun is above the horizon 24 hours a day (a phenomenon known as midnight sun) and times when it never rises. Even in the summer, the sun is low enough for temperatures to be lower than in the tropics, but the seasonal changes are much greater than in equatorial regions. Interior Alaska has seen temperatures as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
Farther from the Equator lie the temperate regions. These include the United States, Europe, China, and parts of Australia, South America, and southern Africa. They have the typical four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Outside Influences
Climate is also controlled by wind, oceans, and mountains.
Winds bring moisture to land. North and south of the Equator the trade winds blow from the northeast and southeast, respectively. These winds converge in the tropics, forcing air to rise. This produces thunderstorms, humidity, and monsoons.
North and south of the trade winds, about 30° from the Equator, there is relatively little wind, and therefore little moisture blowing inland from the oceans. Also, dry air is sinking back to the surface, warming in the process. This is why many of the world's great desert regions—the Sahara, Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and chunks of Mexico—lie at the same latitude. A similar band of deserts lies to the south in Australia, South America, and southern Africa.
Mountains force wind to rise as it crosses over them. This cools the air, causing moisture to condense in clouds and rain. This produces a wet climate on the upwind side of the mountains and an arid "rain shadow" on the downwind side.
Oceans provide moisture that fuels rainstorms. They also buffer the temperature of coastal regions, regardless of latitude.
Climate Groups
In the early 1900s, climatologist Wladimir Köppen divided the world into five major climate groups.
Moist, tropical climates are hot and humid. Steppes and deserts are dry, with large temperature variations. Plentiful lakes, rivers, or nearby oceans give humid, midlatitude climates cool, damp winters, but they have hot, dry summers. Some of these climates are also called Mediterranean. Continental climates occur in the centers of large continents. Mountain ranges (or sheer distance) block off sources of moisture, creating dry regions with large seasonal variations in temperature. Much of southern Canada, Russia, and parts of central Asia would fall into this category. Cold, or polar, climates round out Köppen's list. A sixth region, high elevations, was later added to the classification system.

GOOD Magazine Feature | Get to Know the Americans You'd Least Expect to Fancy the Firearm
An exclusive from GOOD Magazine's Exploration Issue.
Not Just A Novelty Item: Get to Know the Americans You'd Least Expect to Fancy the Firearm
by Sarah Stankorb
Illustrations by David Schwen
My shooting instructor shows me how to control my breathing.
"Like in yoga?" I ask.
She responds with a nod, a chuckle, a shrug. Breathe in, breathe out, wait a beat. Fire. I see a yellow flash spark over the blackness of the XDm 9mm semi-automatic's slide. I can feel the pistol recoiling in my hands, but not the terror I expected to feel. My shot lands well inside the target's center square—a guileless sheet of paper printed with a vaguely human form now has a bullet in its chest.
"Congratulations! You just fired a real gun." The sweet-faced and aptly named Amy Shotwell, my instructor at Ashburn, Virginia's Silver Eagle Group, grins.
I set the gun down on the bench ahead of me, carefully pointing it downrange. A few lanes over, a middle-aged man in a white polo shirt empties his magazine, the drill of gunfire pelting his target so fast, it flutters like a leaf in the whipping wind.
"Want to take a minute?" Shotwell asks, eyebrows raised with some concern. "You okay?"
I shake out my arms. "I want to do it again."
It's almost four months to the day that I stood alongside my daughter and PETA volunteers, protesting the National Rifle Association's tacky and ludicrous press conference a week after the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. That week NRA Vice President Wayne LaPierre poked fingers at video-game violence, lambasted the media, and recommended armed guards in our schools. Just blocks from the White House, he ranted in a hotel ballroom while my baby slept bundled in her snowsuit and stroller with me outside. I held a sign that said, "Teach kindness, not killing."
Now, I gather up the surprising lightness of my rented gun, take aim, and fire again. Another slug blasts through the middle of my paper friend.
It has been a strange few months.
Immediately after the Newtown, Connecticut, shootings, I found myself compulsively tucking and retucking my kids into bed. "There but by the grace of God go I" flickered in my brain like a short-circuiting neon light. I hovered extra long over my son, a preschooler, my mind teetering precariously into macabre horrors—bullets flying, frail, lifeless bodies. Simultaneously, I was swallowed by fear and incensed with outrage. I mouthed off about right-wing gun nuts. I shuddered as more news broke about Adam Lanza and his paperback copy of Train Your Brain to Get Happy, his holiday check from his mother for the purchase of a C183. I emailed my editor at GOOD a copy of the letter that I'd written to the President demanding gun control, hoping whatever power either held could spur some action and stop the guns.
Now, at the behest of that same editor, I've stepped into foreboding new terrain. When I first learned that people like me were gravitating towards firearms at a moment like this, I was revolted. I'd come to equate every American gun owner with Lanza, with James Holmes, with Seung-Hui Cho. Mine was a perspective that not only lacked nuance, but that had strayed from reality. My own rhetoric had become a shorthand in which merely owning a gun threw a person into a camp of those who were cavalier with deadly weapons, whose personal rights trumped public safety, and who were politically alien to me.
Despite a debate that often seems to crack along hard lines of cultural stereotype (think weeping, anti-gun mom vs. NRA card-carrying wacko), an individual's political affiliation is not ipso facto an expression of their attitude towards guns. According to a 2011 Gallup poll, 40 percent of Democrats said they have a gun at home. But perhaps more interesting, after 2012's highly publicized mass shootings, anecdotal reports suggest that many on the left are increasingly embracing firearms. In Cleveland this winter, Kim Rodecker's concealed-carry classes saw a modest increase in liberals among their ranks. Kelly Whitlock, owner of the Portland Gun Club in Oregon, says he's noticed a shift in the sorts of people walking through his doors over the past year or so. He sees an abundance of lesbian couples and "a lot of younger guys that have the hair that stands up taller than Elvis's would have, in skinny jeans and scarves." But it's not just Portland hipsters, true to form, defying type.
In the time since Sandy Hook, the partisan divide on guns—as it's been portrayed in our media, our advocacy alerts, our dinner-table spats—has appeared to have become only more polarized. In the days following the shooting, 72 percent of liberals responding to a Washington Post-ABC News poll said they favored stricter gun control laws in the United States. But being neatly boxed in by ideological lines has set some liberals looking farther afield to define their own position on guns. While the trauma of mass shootings has sent many on the left—like Gabrielle Giffords and her family—into an out-front appeal for gun control, another subset of liberals have careened off in the other direction.
At the same time the elementary school massacre had me Googling "bullet-proof backpacks," Adam Hilliker, from Newton, Massachusetts, was typing "liberal gun owners" into his search engine. Hilliker, father of two- and four-year-old kids, is a liberal who says he felt conflicted about guns—a couple of bachelor parties at shooting ranges had piqued the interest of the mechanically inclined software engineer. After the Sandy Hook shootings, he went through the natural horror any parent would, but then also found himself repelled by the anti-gun sentiment he heard on the news. "It happened, and it was terrible, and the media just wouldn't let it go... then there was the NRA's ridiculous response, and then everybody's backlash against that, and it just got bigger and bigger."
Despite having grown up in an anti-gun household, "after the Newtown shootings, there was such a crazy backlash about it that I just needed some perspective," he says. When Hilliker found other liberal gun owners online, he decided to take a class. Exploring firearms became a two-part quest to master a difficult skill and unravel a liberal taboo. By March, he'd applied for his gun license.
Outshouted by the vehement cocksureness of the NRA, liberal gun owners from all over the country quietly gather in groups like The Liberal Gun Club, an education and outreach organization that Ed Gardner, LGC director of operations and chair of the group's education committee, says draws gun-owners who "do not want to be identified with that sort of rabid, anti-government, frankly, Republican-supporting-base." LGC is not alone. There's the Liberal's Gun Corner podcast on the Gun Rights Radio Network. There's the Blue Steel Democrats with caucuses in multiple states and the snappy bumper sticker motto: "Democrats don't want your guns—we've got our own."
Not so much a silent majority, but a quiet yet noteworthy block once I discovered them, liberal gun owners represented a unique entry point into a world I didn't think I'd be able to understand. Rather than the boogeymen I imagined, these were people who in most respects were like me.
There are myriad reasons I'd never before touched a gun before my trip to the shooting range in Ashburn. I tend to drop things. I abhor violence. I possess a collection of distastes for loud noises, unpredictability—not to mention, anything that can puncture my flesh. Thus, I began my intellectual walk-about with gun-owning liberals wondering, foremost, how anyone could be drawn to weapons at a cultural moment like the current one.
For Brandon E. Cox, it has been a lifelong puzzle. A backpacker and high-rigger, the Arizona resident was raised never to even play with toy guns. "And I had kind of just a knee-jerk reaction to guns." Yet, in adulthood he got into firearms when a good friend took him shooting. It was fun. He's a gearhead. It fit. Still, he understood my concerns when we talked about last year's massacres.
"They are horrors, I mean, in the strictest sense of the word… they're horrors in the most visceral and human way possible," Cox's tone was gentle. "But reconciling that with logic, and just putting numbers together, it doesn't add up."
Despite the high-profile mass shootings, and enough guns for every adult in the U.S., according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data, the homicide rate is down 49 percent since a 1993 peak. By 2011, other violent crimes with firearms—assaults, robberies, sex crimes—were down 75 percent from 1993. According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year in the United States, approximately 11,000 people are killed in gun homicides. Nearly 20,000 die in gun suicides. Cox reminded me that in comparison more people (35,000) die in car accidents each year. According to data derived by Stephen Dubner and Steve Levitt in their book Freakonomics, a child is about 90 times more likely to die in a swimming pool than by gun.
For some liberals, doing the math—aligning policy with the available data— feels like a natural extension of their political philosophy. Marlene Hoeber, a "glorified mechanic" at a biotech firm, is a gun owner who describes herself as a "lefty feminist." To Hoeber, the gun debate is the only time she sees the American left treating numbers and evidence as completely irrelevant, as though there is no reasonable political discussion to be had. Her characterization reminded me of years of willful denial of climate change on the right. But, says Hoeber, "the strategy of chipping away at rights looks an awful lot like the anti-choice movement to me."
For those on the left, party-line antipathy around guns is a phenomenon of recent history. According to the massive General Social Survey, in the '70s and '80s, more Republican households owned guns than Democratic ones, but the distance between the parties' ownership didn't widen considerably until the early '90s, around the time of the legislative fight over the Brady Bill.
Gardner at LGC also explains that being a Democrat between 2000 and 2008 was complicated. "If you weren't with us, you were against us," she says. The political divisiveness of the Bush/Cheney years made it tricky to be the sort of liberal who frequents a shooting range. Says Gardner, "For many years, obviously, this particular segment was dominated by the NRA, and as things got politically charged… folks of our political persuasion were increasingly unwelcome."
For years they hid their love of firearms, but the block of liberal gun owners is slowly becoming more vocal. Since software engineer Hilliker has taken up shooting and began telling his liberal friends about his adoption of the sport, he's discovered many were privately gun enthusiasts. "We didn't really talk about this stuff because it's pretty taboo, but then when I started bringing it up, there were more people than I thought who were into guns."
I joke with Hilliker that confessing to a love of firearms must, for some liberals, feel a lot like coming out—baring some private fact about yourself. He corrects me, "Yeah, except I think if I were coming out, it's something I would feel more proud of." Guns have a more negative stigma. "I feel like supporting gun culture isn't as righteous as supporting gay culture."
By most estimates, Americans own between 262 million and 310 million firearms, and as the drumbeat of gun control legislation has thumped louder, gun sales have only skyrocketed. Whitlock of Portland Gun Club regularly sees people showing up to class with guns still in the box, coming straight from the store. When I ask him why he thinks that is, he answers simply, "because they think it's possible they won't be able to have them anymore." It's an interesting time for Whitlock, a conservative who says his shooting slots are filling up increasingly with liberals. "They're definitely not of the same mindset that I am by any means—and you wouldn't normally picture them with guns, because their party is the one that wants to take them away from us."
Hoeber says she finds the partisanship over gun rights perplexing. "I find it very odd that I have to make a political choice between people whose politics support all of the other civil liberties, or people who support gun ownership as a civil liberty, but none of the others. I mean it's a very odd political divide that doesn't make a lot of sense, isn't it?"
It's a divide that has been perpetuated by one of Washington, D.C.'s strongest lobbies, the NRA, which has been cozying up to the Republican Party since the '70s—often leaving those on the left, when it comes to guns, in a reflexive fighting stance.
Former staff writer for The New Yorker, self-described son of New Jersey Jewish Democrats, and Gun Guys author Dan Baum brought up a common, but worthwhile trope among gun owners when we spoke. "We just had this bombing at the Boston Marathon. You know if that had been done with a gun, we'd be talking about guns, but because it wasn't done with a gun, we're talking about alienation, trying to figure out why these guys did it." After Sandy Hook, public discourse touched briefly on mental illness, and, says Baum, "I personally think it makes more sense to have the kind of conversation we're having after the Boston Marathon bombing—why would young people do such a thing, rather than 'let's ban the guns.' "
Perhaps overcoming a plague of alienation and violence is precisely where progressives are most needed at this moment of cultural upheaval. The violence in Newtown got those of us who don't regularly experience violence thinking about it in a personal way, if briefly. But as Hoeber aptly pointed out to me, "You know it, nobody gives a shit about all the black kids that get shot in West Oakland, but you shoot 26 middle class white children in Connecticut, all of a sudden it's a big fucking deal. And all of a sudden it's about the big scary guns."
