Charlotte City Council Continues Anti-Freedom

So, in case you're wondering what's being considered by the Charlotte city government, here's the two "big items" from Monday night's council meeting:

1. Punish people who obey the law and attempt to reduce crime.
2. Fine people who buy alarm systems for their homes.

Could the council actually do any more to support criminals? Seriously! This city council is honestly doing all they can to increase the already high crime rate in Charlotte. But of course, they simply refuse to admit there are actually any crimes committed in Charlotte.

For issue #1, the council considered banning handguns in the city, except for those who seek and receive approval from the Sheriff. The police chief sees a need to "deal with firearms." I think perhaps he's feeling threatened, and perhaps he should feel that way. I wonder if revolt can be too far away in Charlotte (although I fear it's very far away).

Democrat Warren Turner was honestly worried that people in Charlotte might find out that they can carry guns because the issue was being discussed. I couldn't make up crap that good. The councilman is actually scared that people might discover they have rights. Can someone send this moron to Cuba, please? Hey Mr. Turner, I've got rights and YOU can't have them!

On issue #2, the city wants to add a tax to be charged to anyone who dares to install an alarm system in their home. No, this is not a tax or fine for false alarms, this is a simple tax on you for DARING to install an alarm, since as the almighty council knows, there's no crime in Charlotte and you don't need an alarm.

The results of both issues? Postponed all voting until after the November 8 election where all seats are up for election. What a shocker.
