New proposals to limit gun rights

[smdave]

WASHINGTON:  Seattle Mayor Brazenly Attacks Right-to-Carry!  In a knee-jerk reaction to a recent shooting, Mayor Greg Nickels signed an executive order on Monday, June 9 prohibiting firearms at Seattle Center, parks, community centers, and city-owned buildings.  This ban, which includes Right-to-Carry permit holders, does not require review by the City Council and directs that a plan be drawn-up in 30 days to establish the prohibition.  Mayor Nickels' ban is a clear violation of Washington State's preemption statutes, which say that only the State Legislature can enact laws pertaining to firearms.  It is important that NRA members, Right-to-Carry permit holders, firearm owners, and anyone interested in the rule of law respectfully make their voice heard against this unlawful proposal.  Please contact Mayor Nickels, write a letter to your local newspaper(s), call in to radio talk shows, and urge your legislators to speak out against this unwarranted attack on law-abiding gun owners.  For contact information, please click here.

Montesano City Council Follows in Seattle's Footsteps, Bans Concealed Carry!  On Tuesday, June 10, the Montesano City Council voted 4-3 to enact a new parks ordinance banning the carrying of concealed firearms in the city's parks.  This move, similar to that of Seattle's, is a flagrant violation of Washington's preemption statutes.  Councilmen Albert Collins, Chris Hutchings, and Nick Swinhart opposed the ordinance while Councilmen Chris Thomas, Doug Streeter, Pat Herrington and Rich Klinger voted in favor of it. Please contact the mayor of Montesano, Mayor Ron Schillinger TODAY and respectfully urge him to oppose this violation of state law and this unjust and unwarranted attack on our right to self-defense and Second Amendment freedoms.  Mayor Schillinger can be reached by phone at (360) 249-3021, ext. 102 or via email at mayor@montesano.us.  Also, please contact the members of the City Council and respectfully ask them to reconsider this illegal and unjustified measure.  They can be reached by phone at (360) 249-3021, ext. 109 or email lwolverton@montesano.us with an attention to the desired council member(s).

Every time I tell people that these sort of acts are infectious nobody believes me 

"It'll never happen here"

That goes for lead bullet bans more hunting bans and more firearms restrictions and bans.

And as usual the steady war on firearms goes on and on and on and...

Wait to see if a democrat get's in office. They'll be looking to squash the 2nd amendment at the national level. I can see this especially if Obama wins.

some hillbilly kkk member is prolly gonna try to assasinate him if he gets office  sucks but if you think about it he prolly has a much higher danger rate than most candidates/presidents.

Just wait that wack job in the Seattle mayors office is far from done, he will have us all paying taxes for global warming before he leaves office.

Global warming is definitely a scam from my point of view. Every 5 or 10 years the media and politicians have to invent a new catasrophe for the human race. We must be on a crash course with whatever they want to beat a drum to.... Then they get everybody to jump on the bandwagon. I remember in the 1980s when they used to tell us that aids would wipe out the world population by now. They tried that with SARS and bird flue which didn't work out. Then they got really attached to global warming. Why not? it has a feel good about yourself agenda. Then when they found out things were not always on a warming trend they decided to rename the hysteria "climate change".

anyway...

If you look into this further, he stated that it was a rule and not a law. He knows what the second says and he has stated that he is not trying to violate it. Just a Rule for now. It may get worse but not to panic just yet.

[Ray]

The whole point of their operation is to gain attention and change the state laws. Make no mistake.

[Jekemi]

Global warming, why they can't even accurately predict the weather for tomorrow, let alone in 10 years. Who are these biased pseudo-scientists and left wing politicos kidding?

When I first heard about all of this, I shot off (no pun intended) an Email to the NRA. When I received the NRA-ILA alert Email back from them, almost the whole 1st paragraph was word for word what I wrote. Kinda makes you feel good that even as big as the NRA is, they still listen to members.

   To complete the thread jacking. 

Now with all the money the politicians can extort from the tax payers and businesses for "gore-bull" warming.  It makes the skepticism all the more justified.
