Well, let's not do a bunch of speculating here.

Let's stick to what we actually know, and can document.

Bushnell was convicted of fraud in 1995 (a felony conviction) and misrepresented his educational background (felony if I remember correctly based on recent law passed by legislature).

There is no evidence that the mayor knew about it but it doesn't show great judgment on the mayor's part.

These Mayors forget the reason behind RCW 9.41.290. It was enacted so there would not be a different law in every City or County of the State. Seems like this is just exactly what the Mayors are arguing for, different rules for them regardless of the rest of the State.

Mayor McGinn is an example of the old saying "People elect the government they deserve". Seattle deserves dumbasses like him.

Yeah, well the rest of us don't, and that's essentially what we'd have if this POS New Yawker convinces the Legislature to hand over its authority to him.

Your comment might just be the inspiration for my next Examiner column. Don't worry, there will be a bad guy, and you ain't him.

Don't worry Dave, I'm all growed up and besides, I live outside Seattle. I only have to deal with morons LIKE him, not the original model.

McGinn's response is exactly why my constitutional claimsneed togo forward in federal court. Currently, state law COULD be changed to allow locals to take away our right to bear arms. If my claims prevail, it would take constitutional amendments (plural) to do that:exclaim:
