Jackson Ward 3 City Councilman Kenneth Stokes wants the Justice Department to investigate a local gun dealer who posted a derogatory poster about Mr. Stokes and President Obama in his store. He said the government should determine if he violated any regulations with his posters and revoke his federal firearms license if a violation occurred. He also referred to both the gun dealer and Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey as a "dumb bastard".
Gun dealer Tim Wolverton displayed the posters at a gun show held at the Mississippi Trademart last weekend. Mr. Wolverton owns Downrange Sporting Goods on Pearl Street.
Alice Tisdale of the Jackson Advocate strongly criticized Mr. Wolverton for comparing Democrats to terrorists in a question posed to Mr. Stokes. She chastised the media for not focusing on that language in his signs.
Watch the complete video of Mr. Stokes here.

and now almost everyone in central Mississippi knows there's a sporting goods store in downtown Jackson on Pearl St. Stokes is only helping this guy in my opinion.
"It's too hard to tell the difference [between terrorists and democrats]."
Wow. Stay classy gun-nuts.
Never go full Stokes. Unless, of course, you're automatically set to full Stokes.
I need both of those posters. Man knows what he is talking about.
I'm sure his business is booming now. I know I'm willing to pay more for a gun from there, tried to today, but unfortunately he was sold out.
Thanks to Adams and Jefferson for the right to free speech. Even if it does protect stupid speech.
Nuff Said
I suppose it's OK (according to Stokes) to throe ROCKS BRICKS & BOTTLES @ Police?
That darned Constitution thingy keeps the DOJ from locking up people who speak out against elected officials. Can't we be more like the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany? where is Stalin or Hitler when you need them? Down with free speech.
I know where my next gun will come from
3:22 thinks its not classy to tell the truth...
Stokes used to be entertaining in an embarrassing blubbery sort of way. Now it's just flatulation.
Stokes is a bad cartoon.
Maybe he keeps getting re-elected based on the size of his head. With a melon like that you would naturally(and incorrectly) assume that there was a brain inside...
No, the melon head is empty but the stomach has never been.
Be careful what you say JJ. Kenneth Stokes will write a letter to the principle oh,I mean Justice Department.
I like the store, nice mom & pop business, knowledgeable, decent selection and prices. Guess on top of everything else the Dems have no sense of humor..
If a jackass brays in the woods and the local news is not there to record it, it's a better world we live in.....
One more term of Ds and the DOJ will be locking people up for what they think. Stokes says do it now.
"Mister" Stokes DOES realize that the 1st Amendment applies to people of ALL skin colors, right?
Right?
The blinding intensity of Stokes' double standard is so obvious, it proves how stupid he really is. It just proves democrats don't need to be smart, just promise to give out free stuff. FSA marches on!
Remember Kenny Stokes calling for the investigation on the death of the Mayor. Who kilt da mayor?
Scott Womack...
You are assuming that Stokes knows the meaning of "double standard." The only standard he knows is "If Kennuf says it then it is the truff" and don't you forget it! By the way Kennuf, I have a pretty good supply of worn out undershirts if you need a few for wiping cloths.
I'll donate my old unwashed underwear for the cause. I actually bought my wife a pistol this morning from Tim just to stoke his business.
I hear they are soon to produce a remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with the Jackson City Council as the little men. Guess who Dopey will be played by?
Why does the media give him any credit???? And, why do they keep putting video of him on the air????? That just inflates his ego!!! He's not smart enough to realize that everyone is laughing at him; he believes it makes him look important.
However, I am glad to see that his "stupid spouting" has increased the gun owner's business!!!!
There is a new firearm on the market. It's called "Da Stokes".
it doesn't work and you can't fire it.
Interesting...y'all recognize Stokes' idiocy but support Wolverton's idiocy as "free speech".
Wolverton is worse as he isn't just attacking those officially a part of government but any citizen who is identifies themselves as a Democrat.
Substitute photos of Bruning and Von Hindenburg for Obama and Stokes and then substitute the word Jews for Democrats and see if you get it!
And, do try to figure out if there's a difference between propaganda and free speech! While you're at , try to figure out if the difference between being a troublemaking asshole and being politically incorrect!
Unless I'm mistaken, it was Mabus and Dems who passed and signed into law the first edition of our CCW law and allowed us to keep gun in car without permits.

You're missing a few things. Democrats are not a protected class..And this is a humorous poster, not propaganda ... don't forget Stokes is inherently funny.
Tell me you've never told a joke or made a harsh criticism about Republicans-- I see much much more extreme posters on Facebook every day, liberal and conservative! Untuck your delicate panties.
What a leap to try to compare this to some nazi actions, shame on you. Guess you think it's ok to throw bricks at police cars too. Or tell your (black) constituents to do so.
It is possible to practice First and Second Amendment rights at the same time. Stokes has done more for this guy's shop than years of advertising.
"Why does the media give him any credit???? And, why do they keep putting video of him on the air?????"
Because the bulk of the media are liberal democrats, uneducated in nearly every topic they report on.
Wolverton is attempting to deny others their Second Amendment rights. THE Second Amendment says nothing about party affiliation or stupidity.
Wolverton is a private citizen. Stokes is an elected official. One has taken an oath and is charged with upholding the public trust, by choice mind you, and that puts him in a different category. You have to be able to make that distinction to speak intelligently.
When Stokes tells people to throw rocks and bottles at the cops, his words carry the weight of his position as a public official, especially when he is speaking in that capacity, as he was when he made those comments.
And do not even try this 1930s Germany equivalence BS unless you are willing to hold every child of privilege who walked the streets of NY and LA last decade with "BUSH = HITLER" signs, for there are hundreds more of those than of this one guy.
I'll keep buying my guns at Van's and Academy, thank you very much...
After looking at all the ways Stokes has made a fool of himself just to get on tv it is nice to see someone tell the truth.
People should not blame Stokes for his sweating like a leaky bucket. There is an old saying that sort of fits him.
I think that most of JJ's readers understand that as unintelligent as K. Stokes is, he knows what his constituents from Ward 3 want to hear (i.e., what it takes to garner their votes), and that everything that comes out of his mouth is exactly that. So, I suppose the question that should be asked (that no one is asking) is whether there is something fundamentally wrong with the mindset of voters in Ward 3?
My dear Mr Stokes. Not long ago , you did not want gun shows selling guns that would get into ward 3. Now you are upset because a dealer at the gun show said he would not sell you one. Did you try to go and buy one from him? Which way do you want it, for them to sell guns for ward 3 or not!
Just like every democrat, he wants his cake and eats it too except he obviously gets an extra dose.
Kenny is keeping the Justice Department busy these days. #boycottjackson. ( except the gun dealer ) I am going there tomorrow to purchase my next weapon.
2:23, yes there is something fundamentally wrong with the mindset of the voters in ward 3. They are living in ward 3. That should tell you something about them.
actually it's eat his cake and have it too
Looks like he has cake eating down pretty good.
