Ashley Singleton never thought of herself an activist until a gun store opened next to her son’s elementary school.
While the nondescript brick storefront was under construction, she passed it twice a day in the school car line. She’d assumed it might be a doctor’s office; it looked like many other small businesses in Madison, a middle-class suburb in North Alabama known mostly for its good schools and proximity to the city of Huntsville, a tech hub that’s become the state’s fastest growing metro.
But one morning in the school drop-off line, Singleton saw the business had a new sign: Rocket City Armory. |

| So what if there is a gun store there? Are you under the impression that kids are going to wander in and walk out with guns? Not gonna happen. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
