I dunno, but I do know that if *I* were to sue a legislature for negligence on the theory that it had failed to enact good-sense legislation, the court would assume I'd gone totally crackpot, and probably set an oral argument just to see if it should alert the state bar to a member who'd developed a serious mental deficiency. And if I were in the city atty's office, I'd sure as hades find someone else to sign the complaint, given Rule 11 and all that. _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
