The comments are priceless, and speak very well for the gun-rights movement.

If he fears for his life perhaps he too should carry a gun. If there is any dispute, they can take it to the streets. Or maybe he's afraid he cannot out draw his enemies and hopes to disarm them before they enter the building. Foolish trying to prevent a gunfight.

This poor mayor is just like me http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/08/democratic-liberal-gun-owners.html">trying to sell sensible gun control ideas on The Democratic Underground diaries.

What's your opinion? Is this another minor victory for the gun-rights movement? Are they trying to win this battle by a type of Chinese Water Torture? What do you think?

Please leave a comment.

3. You mean, you break state law?

Do tell.

[Union Scribe]

4. Lol. Even your link to the "Democratic Underground diaries" is a link to your blog.

Seriously, that's pretty shitty low. Very dishonest technique.

7. Does that really surprise you?

His name should be mikebthedishonestking30200

[spin]

10. I suspected that, so I didn't click on the link ...

I learned a while ago to never click on any of his links.

5. I think the tide of pro-firearms rights continues to roll in our favor.

What's your opinion? Is this another minor victory for the gun-rights movement?

Of course it is. Petty bureaucrats everywhere are finding that they don't have the authority to deny people their Constitutional rights. One by one they are being challenged and they are being defeated.

This poor mayor is just like me trying to sell sensible gun control ideas on The Democratic Underground diaries.

Except for the fact that he actually lives in the United States, he is. He's another loser on the side of gun control.

6. Another gun-rights victory. Its a good thing.

Maybe the mayor will keep his promise and resign. The city council showed that they had common sense.

8. First time I ever recc'd one of your posts

I said in the other thread when this first came up that I live near Ruidoso and the residents would not put up with this.

"This poor mayor is just like me"

Is he really, a blogger who dishonestly links his blog in internet posts? An anti-gun zealot that fled this country and whines from italy about gun rights in the US?

For the mayor...buh bye!




OOOOOhhh, the backlash cometh.

How's that illegal gun ownership?

9. Firt time rec for me too.

I still can't believe I did that.

11. Good to see the anti-rights jackasses get a well deserved slap down.

Hey, if you want to live in a place with what you call sensible, but sensible people call draconian, gun laws, try Mexico. Registration, restrictions on caliber, licensing, the whole nine yards. Of course, for some reason those dang cartel guys and Zetas ignore those laws and use their drug money to buy all kinds of goodies from their "revolutionary" neighbors further south, not to mention the heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, hand grenades, mortars and RPGs that they buy or steal from the Mexican army, plus their supply of guns from the special ed department of the BATFE.

Then all you have to worry about is masked men kicking in your door in the night, kidnapping you (and you can't even fight back because Mexico is a gun controllers paradise), torturing you to death and sewing your face onto a soccer ball because you spoke out against them. Seriously-Mexico is a shining example of the gun control laws you so favor, mike. A place where the common citizen has no second amendment rights, where the only armed individuals are the crooks and the cops, who may be crooks and cartel pawns anyhow. Maybe head for Nuevo Laredo and ask the average citizen there if they're happy with Mexico's gun laws.

That "poor mayor" is just like you in that he has no respect for the Bill of Rights and somehow thinks that disarming the law abiding folks will by some magical transformation get the criminal element to suddenly obey the law. Not only is he taking a big steaming crap on the US Constitution, he's wiping his ass with his own state's preemption clause in their state constitution. I hope he gets impeached and then run out of town on a rail.

Pretty sure most swearing in of public office includes phrasing to the effect of "I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic", and it would appear that the mayor broke his oath of office. Or does the word of an anti-rights proponent mean nothing? Wait, what am I saying-if an office holder breaks that oath, then of course his word means nothing.

12. Need to brush up on federalism, pre-emption and the 14th Amendment. nt

[ProgressiveProfessor]

13. I you would have bothered to read posts other that your own

blog flogging, you would have realized that this topic was beaten to death some time ago.

A small town mayor broke state law out of ego and got spanked for it. Not much else to it.

[rl6214]

14. No chance of that happening.

[AtheistCrusader]

15. How much do you make in a given month, off your blog advertising revenue?

[S_B_Jackson]

16. More shameless blog-flogging, and mindless pap

why am I not surprised?

[AtheistCrusader]

17. You should get together with all the people on the DU front page so happy about the

state pre-emption of San Francisco's ban on circumcison.

Ya'll have a grand ol time now.
