"...State preemption has Seattle stuck in court right now, challenging the trial court victory of the Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association in their joint lawsuit to stop the Queen City’s (this column never seriously entertained Seattle’s “Emerald City” moniker because it is simply stupid) attempt to ban guns from city park facilities. It’s illegal, and in the wake of SAF’s victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago, probably unconstitutional...."

forcing cities such as Portland to enact, within the limits of Oregon state law, city code ordinances to address the threat to the public's health and safety posed by gang violence and illegal gun use."

making laws for law-abiding citizens so that the "illegal" use can now be exercised freely without threat of retaliation(except maybe through the courts after the violent crime has already been committed) :banghead:

Yes Dave, it is stupid. Unfortunately though, Seattle is more appropriately nicknamed the Emerald City because it definitely is in the "Land Of Oz".

Nickels, and now McGinn, view themselves as "the man behind the curtain".
