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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" �Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
