Her comments have clearly exposed her understanding of it being a legal activity, no preemption question at all. What she stated was that her greatest concern was preserving the culture of Madison. Something to the effect that we have no understanding of the society of Madison which does NOT include people carrying guns! This clearly puts her personal preference and opinion above her duty to uphold the Constitutions and the law. Impeach or recall, whichever is the proper action.
In effect she said I know it is legal but I don't care. When in our town you will act the way we want you to or stay home. Then the police chief memo answers by saying if you do come we will harass and arrest you so you never want to come again.
I found her reply to another;
"Thanks for the publicity. I take my responsibilities to protect the integrity and atmosphere of my city very seriously and am painfully aware that the majority of conflict between people happens when others are not respectful of commonly accepted norms. We do not pack pistols in restaurants in Madison. Why not? Simply not necessary or appropriate. It's too bad that some people feel that exercising their rights to make a point has to be such an issue. Frankly, visits that cause these kinds of disturbances aren't economic stimuli for our city. That poor restaurant probably lost sales due to the show. As you note, you are not a Madison resident, thus don't know the flavor of our community. This could be the best campaign incident in a long time!"
