WASHINGTON: NRA Sues Seattle Over Illegal Gun Ban On Wednesday, October 28, the National Rifle Association filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Washington State against the City of Seattle, asking the court to enjoin and declare invalid a recently enacted parks and recreation administrative policy that prohibits firearms in parks, community centers and other city-owned buildings. Other plaintiffs in the case include state correctional officers and private citizens, as well as the Second Amendment Foundation, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the Washington Arms Collectors, Inc. The city is in violation of Washington’s preemption statute, which forbids localities from enacting this type of ban. In October 2008, Attorney General Rob McKenna issued an opinion that put the City of Seattle and Mayor Nickels on notice that Washington cities may not enact local laws prohibiting possession of firearms on city property or in city-owned facilities.
Outrage Of The Week: Over the past few years, we have reported on numerous, outrageous cases of “zero-tolerance” enforcement defying logic and rational thought. There seems to be no shortage of this kind of miscarriage of not only justice, but of common sense. So here we go again: This week’s “Outrage” comes to us from Des Moines, Iowa, where a school recently suspended an 11-year-old girl for bringing a handful of emptyshotgun shells to school.
During a family trip to a ranch in South Dakota, the blank rounds were fired as part of a show, and the sixth-grade student gathered the harmless, empty shells as souvenirs. Once again, these were harmless, empty shell casings from fired, blank rounds!
.But We’re Not Through: This week’s second outrage comes to us via Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper (D), who recently issued an official opinion that landlords can prohibit law-abiding tenants from possessing their legally-owned firearms within the leased premises of their rented apartments, even if the tenants have a valid carry permit!
According to an October 28th article on Knoxnews.com, the opinion is in response to a request from state Representative Tony Shipley (R-2), who said he had thought the answer would have been different.
