In difficult times, music and humor are essential to relieving tension and giving us an excuse to feel "normal" for a while, and are also an effective means of reinforcing a serious message but without all the doom and gloom. Some very creative people are already putting some good songs out there, s...

. . . at increasing gun sales, that is. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) Firearm Purchase Program processed more than 53,000 transactions since Friday, March 13, including 11,645 transactions on March 19, an all-time single-day record and a 430% increase over the average for that T...
