Right to bear arms?

An Executive Order banning all guns in Marbella, WA, concerns citizens of their consititutional right to bear arms.

This morning at City Hall a public hearing took place allowing both city officials and citizens to speak their mind about the Executive Order to ban all guns signed on Sunday by Mayor Gregory J. Heep.  The Executive Order bans all guns be banned from property owned by the city of Marbella.

Citizens like Keri Calender, 29, said I have the right to protect myself and restricition would unconstitutional.

State Sen. Laurie Well-Shanks commends Mayor Heep for his decision to sign the Executive Order.  She said, "This responsible order will protect our citizens, our families, and our children so that they may live without fear of gunfire erupting and their lives being endangered."


Contrary to the senator, local gun shop owner Betrand Birch said the executive order opens the door tyranny and squashes liberty.
 
The executive order first became priority after a shooting last year at Marbella Center's Northwest Wheatberry festival.

My story is better than yours

The hit tv show 'Jersey Shore' has certainly caused a fuss in the world of pop culture.  But it leaves some of us scratching our heads as to why these people, who have no particular talent other than getting drunk and attempting to resolve pointless conflicts with one another, are on televsision making millions of dollars.  Who said that having a twelve pack gets you anything besides good looks in this world?  Why is it that the man working nine to five to feed his family can't make nearly as much money as they fools parading themselves around like the incoherent and self absorbed individuals on these 'reality' tv shows.

This shows how our economy favors those who are more physically appealing than others.  We should publish this story to inform those who are unaware of this injustice.
