Seattle Mayor Invites Businesses to Post 'Gun-Free Zone' Signs in Their Stores August 19, 2013 - 3:18 PM By Penny Starr

(CNSNews.com) – Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, a Democrat, is inviting local merchants to voluntarily post “Gun Free Zone” signs in their businesses, letting customers who have guns know they should shop elsewhere.

“We are here to support businesses that do not wish to have guns on their premises” McGinn said in a press release issued by Washington CeaseFire, which is partnering with the mayor for the campaign. “The police department regularly enforces trespass laws when a visitor to a business violates that business’s rules.”

“We will continue to do so, and I thank these businesses for standing up for the safety of their customers,” McGinn said.

About a dozen businesses have signed up so far, according to a King5.com report.

“We’re making a statement as a community,” Ralph Fascitelli, the Washington CeaseFire board president, said in the press release. “We know this won’t stop someone determined to cause violence, but we hope that standing together and giving businesses a tool to say no to guns will change the conversation around gun violence.”

This is what happens when there’s a genetics mistake and brains, such as they may be, are placed up the wrong end of the anatomy

Please rob us and our customers. I wouldn’t be patronizing such establishments. Painting a target on yourself is not smart.

Businesses can enforce their own rules? Really? So, you want me to bake you a cake for what kind of wedding?
Hey, you can’t shop in here with that gun!
We’re not shopping.

I'd go with Obamacare Gun-Free Zone.

You don't find you you've been lied to until it's too late to do anything about it.

Yes, let's focus on what's really important here, which is the 'conversation'. Never mind all those dead clerks, shopkeepers, and customers on the floor.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.
