OH mayor goes full 'Tard

OH is pretty awful as it is on 2A Rights, but City of Toledo has gone full retard:

Earlier this month, the City of Toledo announced a new policy that says it will only purchase firearms from "responsible" gun companies. In order to determine which companies are "responsible," city officials say they will ask six questions of manufacturers:

Those questions are:

Do you manufacture assault weapons for civilian use?
Do you sell assault weapons for civilian use?
Which firearms does your company agree to not sell to civilians?
Do you require your dealers to conduct background checks?
Does your company have a plan in place to invest in gun and ammunition-tracing technologies?
Do you use, at a minimum, industry best practices for inventory control and transactions?

Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz says he hopes other cities will follow his lead, given that the city's $150,000 annual budget for firearms, ammunition and parts is not likely to put a major dent in manufacturers' bottom lines all by itself.

Good God, the madness is spreading.

150k?

We have some members here who have spent that easy by themselves. I would bet their own citizens wind up with more money invested in the industry than their own Government.

I call this "management by hubris". Usually public employees in the management/executive level that think they are all that.

I'm sure pretty much every gun company is going to tell him to lick their asses after a night of Mexican food.

Idiots like this deserve a good mocking. He shall hereafter be known as "Lord Commander Wade Kapszukiewicz, Regent of Toledo and the Sea of Erie, Emperor of Lucas County, Supreme Potentate of Northwest Ohio, Master of Wail and Fail."

To the idiot mayors credit, he admits his is a drop in the bucket, but hopes other cities will follow his lead, which would impact firearms manufacturers. Problem is, I don't think a single one would fit the "criteria" nor will they change to fit it as the non LE sales likely exceed LE sales by miles for all but the biggest LE accounts.
