Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes is asking for a federal investigation into a sign posted by a gun store owner.



The sign, which was spotted at the Jackson Gun Show over the weekend says, “It’s hard to tell the difference between Democrats and terrorists and if you support Kenneth Stokes or the president, you’re too stupid to own a gun.”




The sign is owned by Tim Wolverton.



“Well it kind of started out as a joke, and so of course, so is Kenneth Stokes,” Wolverton told 16 WAPT’s Scott Simmons earlier this week.



Wolverton said the sign came out after Stokes said people should throw rocks and bricks at police who chase suspects into Jackson.



“If this gun dealer feels that it’s legal for him to display negative images of the president of the United States, keep in mind that he must have some kind of license,” Stokes said. “We’re asking the attorney general of the United States to do an investigation and let’s see whether the rules and regulations have been violated.”



Stokes blames gun shows and guns sellers for Jackson’s gun crime problem.



“We’re asking for an investigation so that we don’t have to allege anything. We’re asking for a federal investigator to come here and see the relationship between these gun dealers and law enforcement. Whatever turns up, it will turn up,” Stokes said.



Wolverton rolled his eyes when Simmons told him of Stokes' most recent comments.

"What kind of worth can you put into anything this man says?" Wolverton said.

The Madison County sheriff and Gov. Phil Bryant asked for a criminal investigation after Stokes made the remarks about police chases. Stokes said he also sent a letter to the U.S. attorney general about the issue last month.
