"Minot's city council has voted down a proposed ordinance that would have made the use of BB guns and bows and arrows in city limits illegal."
"The proposed ordinance also would have made their possession in public places illegal. At tonight's monthly meeting, Capt. Robin White with the Minot Police Department presented the ordinance that Chief Jason Olson drafted with the help of the city attorney."
"The ordinance would have replaced another ordinance that the captain said was taken off the books, unbeknownst to the department." ... |

| Seems like the proposed ordinance was a "ton of cure" for a small sniffle. I suspect there's already a large body of liability law governing consequential damages resulting from careless employment of weapons or projectile devices. It should also be noted BB guns and bow and arrows are devices with limited range and potential lethality fully capable of being employed/confined to limited areas. DoMinot's residents really need an overweening government addressing "neighborhood issues" ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
