Gun free — proud of it...Deluding ourselves that we're proud of being helpless and useless to ourselves or our loved ones is as good a self-rationalization as any. It sure is easier for some than manning up to the responsibilities of free people.
The mayor's get-tough approach is especially reasonable in an urban setting.Because as much as we pay lip service to multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity, we just can't trust...you know...those people...
A round of applause for Nickels. Somebody has to take a stand. For years, Nickels and Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske have been calling for stricter gun laws. The Legislature, even one dominated by Democrats, has been absurdly timid on gun legislation.Break the law to make the law. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Gated security is needed at the open campus of Folklife.Because everything goes better with cages! And that's Volklife.
Citizens who attend public events are accustomed to random bag searches."Accustomed" sounds so much more progressive than "conditioned," don't you think? Like they're somehow partners in the decision? Besides, if you don't have anything to hide...

There's no doubt that these people are fascists, is there?

Washington law requires that firearms seized in crimes be auctioned off. As I understand it, Seattle refuses to do that and destroys them, instead, paying a big fine to the state every time.
So this particular bit of antigunnery and deluded thinking is no big surprise.
Eventually, searches as we step out our own front doors.
Providing a target-rich environment for snipers since 2008...
Watch the rooflines.
And beware knifemen. There are polycarbonate and ceramic blades metal detectors miss. And of course some people are big and strong enough to snap your neck with one punch or stop your heart with a blow to the solar plexus. But you can yell -- er, gurgle -- for the cops to come and save you.
Mr. Boycott was a smart man.
Since the Seattle Times has no problem with their Mayor creating illegal executive orders that violate the rights of their citizens, I guess they'd be fine with the Mayor making another executive order that any racial groups from public events if they make up a disproportionately high portion of the prison population.
I mean, as long as it makes you feel safer, it should be fine. Besides, it would be for the children.
Does it strike anybody as odd that a person who "...had a history of drug addiction and schizophrenia, which should have prevented him from obtaining such a permit..." was legally carrying a concealed handgun? I wonder how many CCW permits have been issued to (or perhaps planted on would be a better phrase) those who have a history that "should have prevented him from obtaining such a permit." It seems like a very effective way to prove that concealed carry is a bad idea - "just like we said it would be." A few "strategically misplaced" CCW permits and sooner or later someone will help create one of the nightmare scenarios that the anti-gunners have so vividly described. Scare the sheeple and you can justify anything you want...
Apparently the bozo's history was as a juvenile and therefore sealed and could not be used as the basis to deny a CPL.
The juvenile/adult line is getting blurred. I mean, in the sense that younger and younger minors are committing adult-size crimes. Yet they're still getting all the advantages we reserve for CHILDREN.
Look up "Nathaniel Brazill." He's not even a representative case. He committed a murder at 13, his first offense, as far as I know. Some have the obligatory "long criminal histories" even by age 11. I say, as in the case of a "retarded" man who with his brother held up a country store (fewer witnesses), seized the handgun under the counter (disarming the victims) and shot and killed the woman owner and seriously wounded her husband (eliminating witnesses) before running out of state, mental illness doesn't mean "incapable of self-control." If they PLANNED it, they were NOT insane. If they planned and killed, they are not children.
They kill freedom by convincing people that anyone can just "go off."
But yes, the Other Side perks up whenever a PERMIT HOLDER is mentioned in a shooting, hoping and praying they'll be convicted of vigilantism and murder and calling into question the security and safety of the whole permit system.
Contrast that with when anyone with $20 could buy a gun at the hardware store, no questions asked, but if you misused it someone shot you or arrested you and you got a serious punishment.
Government doesn't wire everyone's jaws shut to keep them from falsely yelling "Fire!" in a crowded place. Guns are special.
I am not concerned about permits or permit holders (what's that, a wallet?), but only about a person who is in the process of attacking an innocent person NOW. Universal weapon bearing with decriminalized self-defense.
