Remember when Sheriff John Minor supported a county gun ban? The ban was going to be noticed by signs on county property. Criminals, by definition, don't follow laws and ignore signs. Since Sheriff Minor thinks signs keep people safe, his next sign may read "No Construction Vehicles". Would that have kept the people in Washington state safe from a criminal with a bulldozer?
Actually, maybe Sheriff Minor will petition the state legislature to require a background check, fingerprints, and yearly fee to possess a bulldozer. After all, bulldozers can kill people too. This is not a joke, as it was reported the county gun ban was instituted by request of Sheriff Minor:
The resolution was written and passed at the request of the sheriff's
office, but was not drafted in response to any particular incident,
commissioners said.
