Mayor Nickels
Stumps are smarter than he is.

Seattle mayor Greg Nickels (D) announced that henceforth weapons will be banned from all city-owned property—as a safety measure. The ban is believed to have been inspired by a shooting last month that injured three people at Seattle Center.
Nickels allowed that criminals aren’t likely to abide by the new rules, but contended, nonetheless, that safety would be enhanced because “thugs won’t have to exert as much force to get what they want. A robber won’t have to shoot if he knows his victim is unarmed. So, some money may change hands, but there’ll be no need for violence. Even an occasional murder is more tolerable than shootouts that endanger much larger numbers of innocent bystanders.”
To help set an example, police will also be unarmed. “How can we expect citizens to forego violence if, by arming our officers, we project the City’s willingness to engage in it?” Nickels asked. “Eventually, the individual bent on mayhem will see that he is the ‘odd-man-out.’ The social stigma alone will work toward peaceful change.”
Presidential candidate Senator Obama hailed Nickels’ plan as an “audacious experiment that encourages hope for a better world” and said he considers it a “potential model for an Obama Administration.”

That’s great. Outlaw guns and only criminals will have them. So when one comes to city hall to shoot someone, not even the police will be able to stop them?

HANDS DOWN, THE STUPIDEST QUOTE ABOUT GUNS.
The mayor advises to carry Vaseline and practice making pig sounds.
That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
THIS IS FROM A SATIRE PIECE. THE BAN MAY BE REAL. THE QUOTATIONS PROBABLY ARE NOT.
Mayor Nickels
Stumps are smarter than he is.
If the gun lobby gets too persnickity is this guy going to “suet”?
Well, that sure will teach those criminals! Or maybe it will teach those criminals, hmm... no guns on city property, hmm... easy pickin’s, hmm...
If he figures out how to tax the monetary “exchange” he may save his city from immediate bankrupcy. He may even be able to encourage the “exchanges” to boost city revenue. Looks like he has identified a way to encourage this exchange. Next he needs to figure out how to tax it.
Start with disarming guards at City Hall.....
Seattle Mayor: Disarm Citizens so Thugs Won’t Have to ‘Work Harder’ and Shoot victims
What an idiotic ass.
Disarm your cops and personal security guards too, fascist.
I wonder if that includes his personal security detail??
Stroke of the pen law of the land............cool.

Anyone told this POS he doesn’t make laws yet ?
I think he gets around it by calling it a “rule” instead of a law. And while you can’t be arrested for a firearm violation - you can be charged with trespassing.
Not a problem as some money may be exchanged but no one gets shot.
Well that’s just OK. Perhaps someone can slice Mr. Nickels’ goobers off whilst effecting one of those ‘money changing hands’ routines. I’m sure that he’d feel ever so much better then.
Oh, wait. He doesn’t have any goobers.
Never mind.
... well, as long as we're talking audacious, so is shoving chili peppers up yer butt, if all you can do is spout counterproductive platitudes up the media's skirts, while the good folk of the nation are dying in public. Asshats.
