NRA Sues Seattle Over Illegal Gun Ban

 
Click here to vote in this week's poll. 
On October 28, NRA filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Washington State against the City of Seattle, asking the court to enjoin and declare invalid a recently enacted parks and recreation administrative policy that prohibits firearms in parks, community centers and other city-owned buildings.  Other plaintiffs in the case include state correctional officers and private citizens.

"NRA members are outraged that the City of Seattle has ignored and defied state law and an opinion of Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.  "The NRA will continue to fight this senseless infringement on the rights of law-abiding Seattle gun owners."

"Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment."

And with the slaying of the SPD officer last night, mayor 5 pennies is going to run with it.  I am willing to bet the house on it.

Please explain to me how putting a gun restriction on LAW ABIDING citizens is going to make kids safer in a park?  Hell it would make me feel more vulnerable knowing the only ppl in the park with guns are the *censored*s who don't care about the law.  And trust me, how many shootings happen everyday where cops are not there with 'their guns' to protect an unarmed citizen???  I'd say more but it might get me banned!

99.9% of the time law enforcement is reactionary. They will get there to see you lying in a pool a blood. They may get the criminal but what good does that do. It leaves the law abiding citizen vulnerable. Criminals are lawless, they don't care what the law says they will do what they want to do. Lots of shootings tend to happen where there are gun bans in place, such as malls. Alot of good that ban on guns did, huh?

The law violates the state constitution as well as the countries constitution. It will not stand. The out going mayors policy on guns in parks is going to cost the tax payers lots of money in legal fees for unnecessary reasons in tough economic times when every penny counts.

I agree but I also think that the NRA will win this one and if they do, I'm glad it has happened... shows that we the people can still keep the government in check when they try to take our rights away...

Pinelock, I understand you feel better with the "signs" that say "gun free zone"...  ignorance is bliss my friend...
