So, why does the Taliban City of Vancouver have an illegal law on the books?
I was browsing the rough the Daily Democrat and I came across this story:
In this case, the story itself isn't the reason for this post.
But I stumbled across this nugget within the story:
A different section of the same law reserves for the state itself the near-exclusive right to regulate firearms. If you scour Vancouver’s municipal code for firearms rules, you’ll find nearly nothing -- because the state has done the heavy lifting already. (An exception is the Vancouver ordinance banning guns from city parks, McClure said.)
OK. Why?
The courts have ruled that the City of Vancouver CANNOT ban guns from parks.
So why is that law still on the books?
No, the ruling wasn't specifically about Vancouver... it was about Seattle. But the ruling about the Seattle effort to ban guns would certainly apply to Vancouver as well.
The State Supreme Court Thursday refused to review Seattle's ban on guns in parks and community centers, upholding two lower court rulings that the ban violated state law.
OLYMPIA, Wash. - The Washington State Supreme Court put an end Thursday to the city of Seattle's efforts to impose a gun ban at city parks.
Attorneys for the city had asked the high court to overturn a lower court ruling that the gun ban violated state law. But the Supreme Court justices declined to even look at the case, reaffirming that the gun ban is illegal.
The National Rifle Association cheered the ruling, saying that it represents a "final victory" for Seattle gun owners.
Etc.
I recognize that Leave-it Town doesn't care about things like voter rights... but you'd think they'd wise up and pull this law before somebody in the city limits drags their socialist butts into court and embarrasses them... again.

First, let's state the obvious: "Government is totally out of control".
Government doesn't care what the courts say, because government has all of your money and government can waste all of the time in court that it wants to because it's resources are as endless as your wallet and everyone else's way-into-the-future earnings.
The only way to stop government is for the people to rise up and put a stop to it by force. That will happen eventually.
