I'm wondering why the City of Newark hasn't taken action on this.....



















From the Municpal Code of Chicago comes this dandy piece of
legislation.

1-16-010 Definitions.

For the purposes of this ordinance, the following definitions
shall apply:

(a) “Person” means a natural person, as well as a
corporation, institution or other entity, but shall not include
the federal government or any agency thereof.

(b) “Nuclear weapon” means any device, the purpose of
which is use as a weapon, a weapon prototype or a weapon
test device, the intended detonation of which results from the
energy released by fission and/or fusion reactions involving
atomic nuclei. For the purpose of this ordinance, “nuclear
weapon” includes the weapon’s guidance and propulsion
system and triggering mechanism, i.e., the means of
transporting, guiding, propelling, triggering or detonating
the weapon, provided that such means is destroyed or
rendered useless in the normal transporting, guiding,
propelling, triggering or detonation of the weapon.

(c) “Component of a nuclear weapon” means any device,
radioactive or nonradioactive, specifically designed to be
installed in and contribute to the operation of a nuclear
weapon.

(d) “Direct activities of the federal government” means
actions of the federal government or any agency thereof
created by statute, but shall exclude actions of independent
contractors.

(Prior code § 202-1; Added Coun. J. 3-12-86, p. 28521;
Corrected. 2-3-87, p. 39355)

1-16-020 Nuclear weapons work – Unlawful activities –
Exceptions.

(a) Phase-out of present activities. No person shall knowingly,
within the City of Chicago, design, produce, deploy, launch,
maintain, or store nuclear weapons or components of nuclear
weapons. This prohibition shall take effect two years after the
adoption and publication of this ordinance.

(b) Prohibition of commencement of nuclear weapons work.
No person who is not, as of the effective date of this
ordinance, engaged in the design, production, deployment,
launching, maintenance or storage of nuclear weapons or
components of nuclear weapons, shall, within the City of
Chicago, commence any such activities after the effective
date of this ordinance.

I feel safer already.  Well, I did until I scrolled down to see
the penalty for violating 1-16-020  a) and b).  No, I'm not
telling.  Do your own fact checking- go here.   Amazing.

Thanks for the pointer Eric
