Seattle Mayor takes a lesson from Nutty Nutter thinking he can pass laws under pre-emption.
After a shooting at the Northwest Folklife festival injured three people, Mayor Greg Nickels will prohibit guns at Seattle Center, parks, community centers and city-run buildings.
The city does not have the authority to arrest or fine people for bringing a gun onto city property. Only the state can enact laws governing firearms, and the mayor acknowledged the city could face a legal challenge.

I like this nugget at the end of the article...
"Nickels has urged the Legislature to pass a law denying guns to anyone who has been involuntarily committed to a mental-health facility."
Silly me, I thought this was already federal law.
