Seattle Mayor Bans Guns On City Property
Because, if the mayor makes it a law, the criminals will obey?
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels has signed an executive order that asks all departments to come up with a plan within 30 days to ban guns at all property owned by the city.
The mayor’s office says a public hearing will be held to gather comment on today’s order but it does not require city council approval.
Nickels says the added gun restriction is needed because of a shooting at last month’s Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center that wounded two people.
Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske says the mayor’s order will help protect people at civic events.
Of course, this is just my opinion, but I’m fairly sure banning weapons would not have stopped this man from bringing one.
Prohibiting weapons will only make the innocent become the prey
