Oregon Astoria attempts preemption of state gun laws

[PiratePast40]

Astoria balks at ban on used gun sales at pawn shops
City council woman has no idea what current state laws cover, but wants Astoria to put their own laws in place. Luckily, other council members refused to play, but I suspect that won't stop her from more restrictions. It'll be "for the children" of course.

My Machiavelli quote on the 3 types of intelligence exemplifies her...

"There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless".
Niccolo Machiavelli

Useless!

Just don't ever let on to these people that there is a high probability that SB 941 is more than likely being disregarded with greater regularity than originally thought. 'Word on the street' is people are beginning to trust casual acquaintances for FTF deals but it could never be proven unless an off chance 'sting' operation were to take place. I was talking to a few people the other day and the general consensus was between those who don't know the law exists and the potential of greater trust between those who have never met before the law may just disappear into obscurity on it's own.

They need a fourth, (4th) intelligence type. Brain dead.

It has been my experience that foolish people often rise to position beyond their ability.

Who's more foolish, the fool risen beyond their ability or the fools that raised the fool to the position?

Let Asstoria do what it wants. I haven't/don't/won't spend a nickle in that community. I gave that town the single finger salute 7-8 years ago when a local fish monger(under the bridge) was wanting $13.00 a dozen for fresh oysters (going rate at the time was near half that). They treat the sport fishermen like crap while (trying) to milking them for more and more money every year. Just trying to drive through the town sucks, in the off season!

That gal musta' come up from the state to the South.

What law?

I believe it is the Peter Principle that says, "In a hierarchy a person rises to their level of incompetency."

Isn't the third kind of understanding they type which most politicians and elected officials operate under?

Who's more foolish, the fool risen beyond their ability or the fools that raised the fool to the position?

Well, here is my take.
The fool with the biggest mouth and most money and wants something new aka attention, power, prestige is the fool risen. The biggest fools are the ilk that believe "change is good" without knowing what that change is. Just me.
