I'd like to take, "Laws that will be overturned by Bruen v. NYSPRA precedent" for $100, Alex.
SCOTUS would need to create new precedent, this isn't a carry ban it's a location ban.
But current SCOTUS will gladly use this as an excuse to establish that precedent.
Its true scotus doesn't want guns in their presence.
It's a pretty short series of hops from Heller v. D.C. to McDonald v. Chicago to Bruen v. NYSPRA to this. If you're banning carrying at almost every place, public and private, then it's a de facto ban.
public buildings, parks, fairgrounds and playgrounds where “children are likely to be present."
That all seems like a pretty good idea to me.
If approved, the state would prohibit possession at public buildings, parks, fairgrounds and playgrounds where “children are likely to be present.”
State law already prohibits possession in restricted access areas of airports, jails, law enforcement and public health facilities, courtrooms and other related areas, bars and places off-limits to minors.
Something's not adding up, here.
Authoritarianism goes brrr
What? Bars, taverns, wineries, etc are all 21+.
Everybody is so caught up on the idea that banning guns at schools is ineffective. You see, clearly, you have to allow the guns, but ban the kids.
Isn't that Trump's plan with the Dept of Education?
No, his plan there is to just ban the schools. Galaxy-brain, right there.
Republicans: fetuses are babies! The word "gay" corrupts a child! Won't anyone think of the Children??
Also republicans: were not paying for kids lunches, fuck those kids. Kids have school shooting problems? Then get a bullet proof blanket you whiny bitch! Guns are not allowed where we adults have fun, or work, but around kids? All fine, shut your whining!
Such a nice group of caring people
Such an obviously good idea.
So good of an idea that the stupid 30% of this country will hate it.
I don’t live in Seattle. I’d like to ask a local, if one is reading, how they feel about this.
We already do not allow concealed carry in many places. I think it makes sense to not allow them in parks, public buildings, etc.
This coming from a firearm owner who has had a concealed carry permit in the past.
I think it makes sense to not allow them in parks, public buildings, etc.
If they are somehow immune from violent perpetrators, I would agree. For example, if the "public building" has armed security.
Otherwise, we're just creating unarmed victim zones.
From my perspective, it’s zones that are free of hammers looking for nails.
