Pre-emption conflict in Seattle
Posted by David Hardy · 16 October 2008 10:16 AM
The Washington Att'y General rules that the pre-emption law forbids cities to enact gun regulation, but the mayor of Seattle protests he has "a moral responsibility" to do so.

If it feels good you gotta do it. I wish I could count on that defense being available TO ME in any disagreement I might have with those nasty old written laws.
I have a pdf of the AG's Opinion that I'd post somewhere if I knew how.
Silly me, I thought he had a moral obligation to uphold the law.
Just what the f*ck is moral about trying to disarm the law-abiding?
Focus on locking up hardened criminals, Mr. Mayor.
Will the mayor of seattle now ban abortions because he has a 'moral imperative' to protect the lives of the preborn or is his 'moral responsibility' for convenience only?
