ATLANTA -- The huge, unending, seemingly irreconcilable debate over guns, the availability of guns and the Second Amendment all came to a head once again on a blistering afternoon, on the street named for Atlanta's Nobel Peace Prize recipient, for a heartbreaking reason, as it always is.

On Wednesday, about two dozen residents of Atlanta's Washington Park community, which borders northwest and southwest Atlanta, marched in front of the neighborhood pawn shop where a suspected murderer bought his gun.

"We do not need any further killings," said one of the demonstrators, Yvonne Jones. She echoed her fellow demonstrators collective belief  that the owners of Northside Loans, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and New Castle Street, should share some of the responsibility for the shootings, since they sold the gun to the suspected murderer.

Protestors want the pawn shop to stop selling firearms, period.
