Seattle: Mayor moves to ban guns with executive order

[DDMac]

TAB, do you believe gun-free zones deter violence? Not talking about metal detectors, just any posted areas?
Mac.

edited to add: Not just to TAB, does anyone here believe no-gun zones are effective in preventing acts of violence?

I do beleave there are places guns should not be, but I do not agree with the current applcation of gun free zones.


I do beleave property owners should have the right to exculde them... this covers every thing from retail stores to comm'l airlines.

what diffrence does it make if he should not have got the permit or not?  If this was an off duty cop that went nuts and started shooting people...would it change the out come?    Also a history of mental health problems can mean almost anything, same with the drug abuse... it does not say what kind of drugs, just that he abused them... it also does not enclude the extent of his abuse.

It was an example of ridiculous root-cause analysis. Obviously the mayor is on board with ridiculous trains of thought if he thinks that guns (inanimate objects) are the problem. So hey, why stop there.... He could also make the same idiotic case that because this crime was perpetrated by a male, then it would save lives and deter crime to ban all males from public areas as well.

1st have you ever ran a biz?  2nd do you exclude people from bringing things into your home?

And your answer to my question would be.....? Come on, I think Its a pretty fair question.... I just want to know what you think will be accomplished by allowing retailers and others to establish gun free zones where ever they please. Simple enough, I think.

[TAB]

How about staying in biz?  is that a good enough reason for you?

Don't bother argueing with a closed mind. Tab is simply an anti concealed carry pin head. He's jealous of everyone else because he lives in Ca. and couldn't get a permit without bribing the sheriff, there fore he thinks every one else should be subject to the same socialist stupidity. He even objects to LEO's being able to carry nation wide, and no amount of facts or reasoning is going to convince him that a CITY mayor should not ignore the STATE law that says only the STATE can make gun laws. And do not expect coherent answers as he has none.
