Dat mental retardation...
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

At least we are still the home of the brave.

That article doesn't give much of an explanation as to what happened to have this legislation considered. Anybody know what this is all about?
I don't know 40+ people that I would want at my house but still this is some dumb stuff...
Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

In sure it has something to do with large parties at people's home every weekend. As a youth, well maybe a bit into my 20's as well my teams always had a hang out. Usually someone's home. We would congregate before games and come back after. Pretty much an all day affair every Sunday. When you think of 18 guys, their girl friends, kids and other associates the size got pretty big and the street was congested.Originally Posted by Big A
I'd venture some uptight person felt their property values were being hurt by the incessant partying and got their legislator friend to come up with some idiotic law. Isn't that how it usually works.

Don't open the door. If you decide to open the door, don't answer any questions, and don't consent to a search. Problem solved.

Yeah, because Barney Fife is just gonna get back in his patrol car and drive off.
Stats man! Gotta get them stats!

According to the article, it would fall to the Dept. of Code Compliance which took the initial complaints. Sounds to me like they'd issue you a civil citation and you'd have to prove that you DIDN'T have more than 49 people at a single gathering, and that you DIDN'T have up to 49 people at a gathering more than 3 times in a 40 day period. So where does the individual code enforcement official draw the line? Is a family gathering more than three times in a 40 day period grounds for issuing a citation, just because the neighbor who hates you calls them every time there's a car parked in the street in front of your house?
The simple answer is "No, you may not regulate the gathering of American citizens on private property as a function of any government, ever." Feel free to regulate public disturbance, sanitation, parking, whatever... But not "gatherings". That is completely out of bounds.

Thanks for the additional info. I'd still tell any and all of 'em to go get ****ed.According to the article, it would fall to the Dept. of Code Compliance which took the initial complaints.

Not to be one of those "First they came for the . . . " guys, but I don't even know 49 people, much less have occasion to invite them to my home.
You young whippersnappers and your hip-hop biographies and whatnot. Bout time somebody drew the line!
