This brings us around to Mayor Greg Nickels of Seattle. He has promised to ban even legally-carried guns from city--make that public--property, by executive order. Nearly 250,000 Washington State residents are licensed to carry concealed handguns, and it is also legal in the Evergreen State to carry handguns openly, without a license.

Nickels was advised by the state attorney general that he lacks the authority under Washington's model pre-emption law to enact a gun ban, but he has vowed to do it anyway.

Gun owners see this as imperial arrogance, and suspect that if Nickels can ignore his own state's preemption statute, then Congress and a Democratic president might just presume to ignore the Constitution.

Wow. Stunning, but predictable for these arrogant liberals that have no respect for the law.

A Liberal would tell you that the Bill of Rights only applies to State Governments (1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, 3rd Amendment,.....).

So would an evil person. So would an insane person. So would a hopelessly stupid person.
