WA City Readies Emergency Ordinance Gutting 2A Rights Of Residents

According to Firearm Chronicles 

Jason Rantz of KTTH radio in Seattle was the first to report on the order, which is slated for discussion and a vote at Monday night’s meeting. That meeting, by the way, is open to the public, though the council says residents won’t be allowed to make any comments during the meeting itself. Instead, the council says the public can submit comments via email. Given the sweeping powers to abridge the constitution that the council is considering, I hope they’re flooded with emails from Bellingham residents.

5. An order requiring the discontinuance of the sale, distribution, or giving away of firearms and/or ammunition for firearms in any or all parts of the city;

7. An order requiring the closure of any or all business establishments where firearms and/or ammunition for firearms are sold or otherwise dispensed; provided, that with respect to those business establishments which are not primarily devoted to the sale of firearms and/or ammunition and in which such firearms and/or ammunition may be removed or made secure from possible seizure by the public, the portions thereof utilized for sale of items other than firearms and ammunition may, in the discretion of the mayor, be allowed to remain open;

9. An order prohibiting the carrying or possession of firearms or any instrument which is capable of producing bodily harm and which is carried or possessed with the intent to use the same to cause such harm; provided, that any such order shall not apply to peace officers or military personnel engaged in the performance of their official duties;

As Rantz notes, Washington State has a firearms preemption law that should make these proposed actions illegal, but the talk show host is concerned that council members will decide to err on the side of government power instead of individual rights.
