SEATTLE -- The Kent man who took the city of Seattle and former Mayor Greg Nickels to court over the city's gun ban has won.
King County Superior Court Judge Catherine Shaffer on Friday ruled in favor of Robert C. Warden, declaring the city of Seattle's gun ban to be in direct violation of Washington State's firearm pre-emption law.
Last year Warden filed a complaint against Nickels and the city, alleging the city's gun ban defies his constitutional right to bear arms.

Smart judge.
However, Warden argues “their sample of persons shot by a gun while carrying a gun was composed mostly of drug dealers, others with criminal records, cab drivers, and women being stalked ... Is anyone enlightened by the stunningly obvious claim that armed drug dealers are more likely to be shot by guns than your average person?”

Good. But how do we get the governments to abide by these rulings?

Little by little - since his leaving office - many of the stupider policies of Nickels are being unwound.
