So, quick summary: The mayor is your typical dumbass Dimbulbcrat?
Ban gasoline and alcohol sales so the Red Communist Youth can’t make incendiary bombs from bottles.
Gotta ban bottles too.
Rats really are bass-ackwards, illogical and just plain evil and stupid aren’t they?
Make it unlawful to protect yourself from bad people doing bad things . . . only a true Rat could do such a thing.
The mayor is your typical soy-boy LIB loser who has never read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What an inadequate excuse for a “community leader”. He should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Did I say he’s a putz? He’s a putz.
Don’t forget the Brick (and aBrack) bans!
Tyrant. Tree of Liberty. Rope.
“...shall not be infringed.”
This cannot stand.
When they pass laws that affect law abiding citizens because they’ll go along but criminals will ignore ... classic douchebag!
This would be laughed off in Michigan. We’ll see when BLM riots in Sterling Heights This Saturday afternoon.
clearly unconstitutional.
Whatever else he is, he is the people’s choice. He is who they wanted. They had a choice and they chose him. So they got who they wanted, and hopefully what they deserve,
This petty tyrant along with other Democrat/Left petty tyrants are just working their way through the Bill of Rights to dismantle the Constitution. They’re pretty much done eliminating the First Amendment, now it’s time to work on the Second. (All of this is, of course, the Democrat/Left’s all-in strategy to prevent Trump’s re-election ... we must never, ever forget this fact!)
So people will not be allowed to take steps to defend themselves, their family, and their property unless they did so before now. That sure will keep the looters at bay/NOT.
Well, the people had a chance and they spoke through their votes. This is what they desired. I would not want it, but I am not them.
Yeah. Bad decision. Surprising? I would hope not. Anyone not armed up already is a fool.
The key to understanding is that 'protesters' are PEACEFUL... even when they're burning down your home and looting your business.
Their mayor may as well have thrown out the welcome mat for 'em.
Addendum to post # 15:
I am more of a Grady Judd man myself.

Seems somebody saw to it.
