No, I won't tell you what I did, it's still classified.<br /><br />I've been exposed to countries that have some pretty crappy governments that care more about their control over their people and less about their citizens freedoms. One of the many ways they control their people is by taking their subjects means of resistance from them, that being private ownership of firearms.<br /><br />I'm going to make this short and sweet, I challenge you to Google "Gary Mauser" and "Simon Fraser University". Once you do that, search through the research and read these published studies regarding crime and firearms in countries like England, Canada, Australia, and the United States. I won't give away the findings, if you really think you are so open minded and so intelligent, find the reports and read them. I'm tossing down the gauntlet and daring you to pick it up. Do you have the courage to discover the truth, or are you one of those that is of the mind, "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up." Maybe you are one of those that let someone else make your mind up for you. Perhaps the people of Emeryville are just sheep that follow the leader without thought. Perhaps the people of Emeryville are just lemmings. Surprise me and read the studies.Roadrunnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-60495043601084604482010-04-01T20:53:32.396-07:002010-04-01T20:53:32.396-07:00To Mr Anon-

The Tattler has been forbidden by the controller. You're not even supposed to be reading the Tattler. I really think you should stop reading the Tattler before you get into trouble.

If not, however, when I read about things in your blog that I do know something about and I read your exaggerations about the topic, it makes me worry that I cannot trust your reporting on things I know little about, but have til now trusted your reporting on those subjects.

That caused an emergency halt to an approval until the council could make regulation decisions. So to have 'kicked the can down the road' would have resulted in the gun store being approved (so long as other incidental regulations were abided by).Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-3241198971804248742010-03-18T15:37:57.345-07:002010-03-18T15:37:57.345-07:00It looks like not ALL of the gun kooks have run aw...It looks like not ALL of the gun kooks have run away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-72974806551259748442010-03-18T15:36:19.954-07:002010-03-18T15:36:19.954-07:00Well, there's that but also maybe it's a g...Well, there's that but also maybe it's a good idea to not knuckle under when somebody threatens you. Maybe public policy shouldn't be held hostage to threats of litigation, after all anybody can threaten that. Maybe we shouldn't give special privileges to gun stores by virtue of the fact that they're gun stores. Maybe we should hold them to the same standards as we do other businesses. Just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-54277636691068978872010-03-18T15:34:51.937-07:002010-03-18T15:34:51.937-07:00I didn't see any documentation that anyone did...I didn't see any documentation that anyone did actually apply for a business license for a gun store. the staff report was kinda vague on that. I don't think that a specialized store like that in that area makes much sense just from a business standpoint. But if it is just a hypothetical gun store then I don't see any upside to passing a ordinance that doesn't have any practical effect, since there aren't any gun stores in town now that it would apply to. Seems like the city is caught in a battle between two ideological opponents, one pushing the city to pass these ordinances and the other promising to sue it they do pass it. If nobody actually applied for a gun business license why get into a big expensive legal hassle for nothing? Of course some politician might score some political points over it but I don't see anything in it for the city.

Or do we think he is going to look for greener (less limited) pastures elsewhere? <br /><br />Because I wouldn't see it as a great victory for Emeryville residents if the former is the case. That's still mighty close to our school children, even if there are some protections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
