(Pay wall. Screw 'em.)
"[L]ocal governments are entitled to 'absolute legislative immunity' when acting in their official capacity."
Delusions of grandeur.
And absolute nonsense. When local governments disobey state law under color of authority, they have committed an offense. The state government classifies it as such, and the 2011 amendment to that prohibition creates penalties for violations. Both the core law and its amended form are within the state's powers and subdivisions of the state serve at the pleasure of the state, not the other way around.
This behavior is typical of 'progressives,' and they cannot be permitted to get away with it.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
