Jim says:

Sign says 'firearms prohibited' ... rightly interpreted, it means: 'attention crimials, people within this property have been disarmed for your convenience'

Enjoy,

Mayor Nickels

Gun bans do not work.
They never have, and this sign is illegal.

McGinn has promised if elected, to support this ridiculous ban which will only serve to waste our tax dollars while he lives out his strange idealistic martyr fantasy. I am voting for Mallahan.

That sign and the suicidal legislation that goes with it is not only illegal, it's TREASON!

Moronic policy. The lot of them don't understand that criminals don't give a hoot about any law esp. gun laws.

Only "law-abiding" citizens, and in this case most likely future victims, obey idiotic laws such as this.

As in Texas (where I live) and Florida, if a thug thinks everyone has a gun, there is less crime in that area.

Nothing will statistically stop a criminal like a law. Wait, criminals don't obey laws. That's why they are criminals. So what does this sign do?? Create less resistence for the criminal? I'd move immediately and suggest everyone stay away from there.

To bad that we don't post a "Socialist and Marxists Prohibited" sign at the White House, then none of the Maobama crew would enter. Your mayor has the traits of worthless socialistic traitor, time for removal under the preface of "incompetent to perform duties..."

Way t go Mayor Nickles. A very smart way to spend our tax money. This is about as smart as the clowns burning $100 bills to light their cigars. The problem is that those clowns have the money to burn. Seattle does not.

Here is an idea for you. Why don't you use that money you spend on stupidity like this for humanitarian reasons instead of making the good citizens of Seattle better victims of criminals.

I am only going to say this... There is no way what I feel like saying would get passed censorship, let alone possibly used against me in a court of law. 'Tis an absolute shame.

Glen says:

I think the first gun crime in the designated areas should be followed by the arrest of the Mayor as an accomplice.

Oh thank God we moved out of the Socialist Republic of Seattle about 6 years ago. The writing was on the wall then.
Moved to Arizona.

Greg Pickels just doesn't get it, and never will... Him and Paul Allen and their buddies that bought all the old buildings just east of the Viaduct! Taxpayer money down the drain to improve the value of their property. Silly gun signs on OUR city property. It doesn't belong to Nickels, If it did, He could post what He wanted. It belongs to You and Me! Lincoln park is just down the hill from where I grew up, and is less than ten minutes from home in Highland Park. To heck with Pickels, He ignores the gang problems.... I should still be able to protect My Family at the park...

Some other notable "Gun-Free Zones" in recent history:

-Columbine High School
-Northern Illinois University
-Virginia Tech
-Ft. Hood

It's nice to know that Mr. Nickels is *really* taking a stand against violent crime.

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge
knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at
you.

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
