God Bless the NRA to help try and stop this, if they do not this could snowball to other cities. If you are not an NRA member signing up could help this out.

This should be pretty much a slam dunk. California law very explicitly preempts the entire area of firearms regulation within the state. There was a similar case years ago where somplace tried to impose some additional restrictions and got unequivocally bitch slapped by the courts. The whole ban is nothing more than political theater, like Cambridge being a "nuclear free zone".

Cambridge being a "nuclear free zone".

I remember when that came about. IIRC, they had some real problems with the HOSPITALS not being able to get radioactive materials for cancer treatments!

And from what my wife tells me, that was aimed at Draper Labs, the outfit who designed the guidance systems for our submarine-launched ICBMS. Funny part is that Draper doesn't HAVE any warheads there and never did.

And a little technicality like that should stop them? <insert raspberry sound here>

But MIT had a nuclear reactor on Albany or Vasser St. back in the late 1960s. I used to also see folks pull up in ambulances in that area to get radiation treatment for cancer back in those days. [I worked for MIT/IL at 68 Albany St. which later became Draper Labs, back when Doc. Draper was running the place, it was one of my college Co-Op jobs, working on Polaris/Poseidon guidance systems.]

Marlboro actually put a law in the books back in the 70's making it illegal to detonate a nuclear warhead withing city limits. I'm still waiting for someone to find the loophole and set off a biggun at the city line in Northboro or something....

 

[dwarven1]

Marlboro also has a law against selling Silly String and air pistols... but Hudson does not, and I've seen Silly String for sale in stores in Marlboro... and Chief Leonard gives out Class A ALP LTCs.

Silly String? Oh the humanity!

thanks hun, but I can't do .wma's. (and no, I haven't worked on fixing that yet - I basically give up)

 

[Cptn5spd]

Lynne have you tried this for playing the .wma files

1. click start, then settings, then control panel
2. click add/remove programs
3. find windows media player and remove it, then reboot
4. download the free version at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

5. install and that should do it

Hope I could help

MIT still has the Reactor. Actully I think last month or so ago there was a big article about how many people were able to infiltrate it to test it's security.

They got some cuite blonds in who took pictures of everything, and they managed to drive a large moving truck (to simulate a OK City type-bombing) within 100' of it, and parked it there for over an hour before anybody questioned them.

Congratulations! You're nobody until you get declared personna non grata someplace. While it still seems to work for me, I guess they don't like the fact that the link is on the NES web site. Try copying the link and pasting it directly into your browser. A lot of places reject direct links from other sites to conserve their bandwidth and get credit for their images or sounds.
