"...a majority of residents in Louisiana’s cities support such a ban."

Mob rule. The tyranny of the majority. If 100 people gather in room and 51 vote to hang you, is that okay? Democracy inevitably evolves into a dictatorship where there is no rule by law, and the rights and freedoms of the minority are trampled by the emotions of the mob.

If these dumbclucks don't get it, look for anarchy and violence in the future followed by a dictatorship.

I know the feeling.  Even I, as a peace loving female, wish I could slap around a few people in FRee Republic!
