In the end, only one number really mattered when it came to Tucson stopping its policy of destroying guns in city possession — $57 million.
That is the amount in annual state-shared revenues the city would have have to forgo if it defied a ruling by the Arizona State Supreme Court that the practice conflicted with state law. Specifically, the ruling affirmed that surplus property must be auctioned to the highest bidders. |

Note the Demo-commies who refuse to take "No." for an answer.
They vow to continue the fight another day, in federal court.
And they will lose.
Ours is a federalist system with two vertical levels of government; state and federal. All county and local governments are subdivisions of the state, and serve at the pleasure of the state. They do not get to defy laws in harmony with the state's just police powers, they must comply. |

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 |
