SEATTLE - Mayor Greg Nickels has proposed a rule to ban firearms in Parks and Recreation facilities intended for youth, including playgrounds, sports fields and community learning centers.

Apparently Mayor Greg Nickels has too much time only his hands. He is supposed to be solving city problems, yet he is taking valuable time to do something about nothing.

This is pointless and probably illegal. The thing is, this is PUBLIC property, not private property. Do you really think that having a rule against carrying a firearm in these places would have prevented the shooting? As if the shooter would have saw the sign and thought to himself, "Well shucks, I can't bring my gun in here...". Pathetic on behalf of the city.

So this means you can't bring guns onto city property. You can still buy them, own them and shoot them even if you reside in the Seattle area, right? I thought that state preemption laws only covered ownership.
Besides, this has only been proposed (not enacted like the title says). |

Nothing a huge class action lawsuit can't fix. If the Mayor, city council, and the city itself gets bankrupted (or least has to shell out a PILE of money), they might just learn their lesson.

Quoted:
Lets have fun with it boys... http://www.seattle.gov/firearmsrule/ Thanks. I'm so glad that city owned parks and buildings will now be safe, since the gun toting criminals and rapists can't carry their firearms anymore. Thanks for making us all safer. I no longer feel the need to defend myself in these places, since gun crime is now illegal. Good job, folks. You all get a gold star for this one..... Since the state said you couldn't do this to begin with, and I find it to be an unconstitutional slap in my law-abiding face, I don't think I'll be paying any attention to this rule. That is, unless the city is going to guarantee my safety in these places. I thought not..... |

Is Seattle one of those "sanctuary" cities?
Odd that they would be doing this while Chicago is in the midst of a Supreme Court case that will make this moot (if Heller doesn't already)...and I believe it's scheduled for Sept. 24 or so, with a decision later. |

Both times it was shot down by the courts, which they knew was going to happen,but only after spending 10's of millions of dollars to promote and pass and try to retain its legality. Now the city is in a dire financial state and could sure use those 10's of millions of dollars to pay bills and run the city.  |

I propose all the WA ARFcommers meet me in City Hall Park at noon on Sunday. Open carry your favorite piece.

What's stupid is that the "incident" at the folk fesitval that he uses as the reason was not a deliberate shooting. As far as I've heard someone saw the guy's pistol and started and argument, what I do know is that somehow the guy with the pistol hit the other guy with it and the gun fired and that one round wounded three people (arms/legs), all non critical.
Stupid scuffle on his part, stupider law. |

That's a great point, I'd like to think that some of the libtards running that sh*thole realize it but I'm somewhat doubtful. |

Alright, I can bring a Weber grill and my smoker. If somebody can supply charcoal (I'm broke), everybody can bring their own stuff to put on the grill.
EDIT: If anybody's actually interested, please post in this thread so I start getting an idea of headcount (I linked from the WA HTF too). If we don't get enough people to form a decent crowd, this won't really fly... |

I doubt he'll go anywhere politically. He is pretty universally regarded as an incompetent stupidfucker.
It's nice to know he is wasting tax payer money trying to pass an illegal and unconstitutional bill though.

http://www.seattle.gov/firearmsrule/ My comment: What is a free society to do when their government scoffs at the rule of law. Can the people still be bound by law if their government is not? Should people allow corrupt public officials to continue in their positions if they defy the will of the people? What are we to do? Ask yourself how do you suppose people will rid themselves of corrupt politicians that refuse to follow the rule of law. The state of Washington, through the will of the people preempted this law. It is illegal.

Denver did the same thing. It went all the way up to the SCOTUS and Denver won. Fortunately the Denver AWB was so widely ignored that they rarely enforce it anymore, and have actually changed it to basically ban posession of any mag over 20 rounds instead of the firearm. This is also widely ignored. You still cannot buy an AR, M1A, etc in Denver though.

The state of Washington hereby fully occupies and preempts the entire field of firearms regulation within the boundaries of the state, including the registration, licensing, possession, purchase, sale, acquisition, transfer, discharge, and transportation of firearms, or any other element relating to firearms or parts thereof, including ammunition and reloader components. Cities, towns, and counties or other municipalities may enact only those laws and ordinances relating to firearms that are specifically authorized by state law, as in RCW 9.41.300, and are consistent with this chapter. Such local ordinances shall have the same penalty as provided for by state law. Local laws and ordinances that are inconsistent with, more restrictive than, or exceed the requirements of state law shall not be enacted and are preempted and repealed, regardless of the nature of the code, charter, or home rule status of such city, town, county, or municipality. [1994 sp.s. c 7 § 428; 1985 c 428 § 1; 1983 c 232 § 12.] Notes:
