Anti-gun social bigotry in Seattle

[cowboycraig]

Here's mine:

As your constituent, I want to urge you to support Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Washington CeaseFire in their proposal to encourage businesses in the city to become “Gun Free Zones”. Assuming that this program would be voluntary and only within the Seattle city limits, of course. I would like to add the suggestion that any and all businesses that choose to participate in this program be: visibly posted as being a proud participant in G.F.Zs. and that a list of all participating businesses be proudly published in multiple media outlets in order to improve visibility. Finally, might I suggest some incentive be offered (funded by the City of Seattle of course) to draw businesses who wish to participate in the "G.F.Zs." program into the Seattle City limits, drawing them out of the more gun-lovin', backwoods, redneck, 2nd Amendment preachin' areas of our beautiful Washington State. Conversly, businesses within the City limits could be compensated for moving elsewhere.
I truely believe that with programs like this and similar others, like-minded folks could be concentrated into the tightest geographical area within our incredible State. Such a wonderful concentration of Statists would ultimately draw the criminal element out of the rest of our fine State to where the pickins come easy and the penalties weak. The side benefit of such a program would be just how much more wonderful the rest of our fair State will be once the Statists AND the criminals are drawn into Seattle. I will miss the Mariners and the Seahawks, but once the G.F.Zs. program is fully implemented, go ahead and just wall off the entire city. It's ok by me. We Constitutionalists won't mind that much. Some sacrifices need to be made, I s'pose.
Thank You for your time and consideration

This is truly EPIC! Please do send this to our socialist ruling class.

Well at least we can know in advance to avoid these target rich environments.  I'd rather not add me and my family to the body count.  Thanks, Mayor McCheese.

Have never seen a "Gun Free Zone" sign in front of a house, but sure there are a few someplace.

McGinn, CeaseFire ‘gun free zones’ effort could backfire
 
Even before their morning press event on Capitol Hill to push their “gun free” businesses idea, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Washington CeaseFire were being heavily panned by a majority of people commenting at the Seattle Times, KOMO, Seattle P-I.com and KING websites, and lurking in the background are some questions.

I posted this before but updated it a little. If you have not already, PLEASE call M
Please all write and call our representatives here in WA about this.

This evening I put together this quick email and sent it via the NRA’s system found here: http://www.nraila.org/get-involved-locally/grassroots/write-your-reps.aspx you can cut and paste the Senate and House.

I am 100% opposed to “Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Washington CeaseFire are teaming up Monday to encourage businesses in the city to become “gun free zones,””

I don’t know what is in the hearts of those that slight the Second Amendment. Don’t understand how this reflects an oath to the Constitution. See below for a reference to why I state this.

From the book “The Second Amendment” by David Barton

St. George Tucker, an Attorney and military officer wounded twice during the American Revolution, was one of the leaders of the 1786 Annapolis Convention that led to the convening of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 wrote:

“The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever… the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction”

To Mayor Mike McGinn and Washington CeaseFirehHow does this current effort reflect the “Spirit” of the Constitution that was made clear by the founders? Don’t try the “Safety” line as Franklin already covered that “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”. Your effort states Unalienable Rights given by God and listed in the Bill of Rights not valid if Tyranny of the majority is possible? Would you agree with that?

[cowboycraig]

Would it be appropriate to email the big lists for the State Senate and House on this?

There is a nice cut and paste list of all the emails found here: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,31831.0.html

Thanks!

For sure would call the Mayor and let him know you don't like this Call the Mayor's Office: (206) 684-4000         

I called, his staff sounded like they are taking a beating on this. CALL!!!! Bet we can make him drop this quietly. It is election time coming up.

WA Ceasefire should change their name to WA Cowards in the Face of Criminals. They're going to create another Chicago out of Seattle and the bad guys are going to have the run of the place. What fools.

Are they fools are Marxists? I don't believe they are misguided or "Afraid" of guns from a lack of familiarity.

I believe it is an attack on the Unalienable Rights (Liberty) of American's and a deliberate path towards fascism.

The entire Bill of Rights I am sure offends WA Ceasefire. There are 10 or 0 amendments in the Bill of Rights. I believe the Bill of Rights can only be attacked as a whole.

Be politically active.

Hey, if the Dave Workman that started this thread is the same one I heard discussing this on the radio this AM, then HATS OFF TO YOU, SIR.     

You came across as very well reasoned and articulate, which always makes it harder for them to paint you as a gun toting neanderthal.   

[ICEMAN]

Same Dave. He is a regular here.

[cowboycraig]

Dave is the man, gives me hope.
