Under the challenged Alameda County ordinance, a new gun store must be located at least 500 feet away from any residentially zoned district, elementary, middle or high school, pre-school or day care center, another firearms sales business, or places where liquor is sold or served. But, according to a scientific study conducted by the plaintiffs that included a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) study of the entirety of Alameda County, there are no parcels within the county that meet the ordinance’s requirements. That, plaintiffs argued, effectively constitutes a ban on the opening of gun stores and an infringement of Second Amendment rights. [More]
It's so blatant even the Ninth couldn't prop up the pretense. Yet.
You don't suppose it was an accident that the powers-that-be wrote and approved an ordinance that meant there would be no more gun stores in the county, do you?
ReplyDeleteBTW, the three county supervisors named in the suit were each paid $147,704 in 2014, plus total benefits ranging from $81,169 to $96,793. Life is good in the Ivory Tower.
