Title: Local Government: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Post by: Alphabet Soup on January 23, 2013, 07:18:59 PM
One of my brothers sent me this link. It's a u-toob video of a local city council meeting where they were inviting citizen input on allowing the carry of firearms in local parks. It has a surprising twist...

Part way through that I was hoping that the "twist" would be some nut-job bursting in with a gun and being put down by that young man with heat.

Nice.

This is what needs to happen across the US in local governing bodies.

In hundreds of jurisdictions across the country, that vote would've gone the other way, the law and constitution be damned.

It strikes me to mention that even in light of the favorable outcome, how many wasted taxpayer dollars does that 9:03 chunk of time represent? It accomplished nothing other than providing a moment of YouTube schadenfreude for pro-2A folks like us. I s'pose for that, I thank the taxpayers of Oak Harbor.

Oh, and Vote Scott Dudley for Mayor.

Crap?!?!? Isn't that how we gun owners are? I mean, Hollywood, and certainly a cokehead like Goldthwait, can't be wrong...right?
