The Kent man who took the city of Seattle and its mayor to court over the city’s gun ban has upped the ante.
Robert C. Warden filed a motion for a preliminary injunction ordering the defendants to stop enforcing the ban until a final decision is made in his civil suit.
Last month Warden filed a complaint against the Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and the city itself in U.S. District Court, alleging the city’s gun ban defies his constitutional right to bear arms.
The complaint cited an executive order Nickels issued in June, directing all departments to review then-present rules “to determine the extent to which departments could prohibit firearms on city property.”
Nickels term is just about done. I’m hoping that this will be the final straw and his successor will just X-out Nickels Ex-O.

Also, the guilty are found to be as such
A jury on Tuesday declared Naveed Haq guilty of murder in his second trial for the 2006 shooting spree at a Seattle Jewish center.
Haq was found guilty of all eight counts against him. The 34-year-old Pasco man will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Haq showed no reaction as the verdict was read, but victims in the courtroom hugged and clasped hands.
“I just need to get my breath,” victim Cheryl Stumbo said.
Haq’s first trial ended last year with jurors deadlocked on whether he was legally insane during the shooting spree on July 28, 2006, that left one woman dead and five others injured.
The eight counts against him included one count of aggravated first-degree murder; five counts of attempted first-degree murder; one count of unlawful imprisonment; and one count of malicious harassment, the state’s hate-crime law.
Life in prison is too good for him. But you knew that.
I like what Hannover Fiste said about Captain Stern in Heavy Metal: “He should be torn into little bitsy pieces, and buried alive!”
