Only if you start with how local control will solve the Section 8 problem. =-)
More seriously, when I lived in an area surrounded by people who I thought were idiots, I was pretty against local control. Now that I live in an area with a larger precentage of like-minded residents, I'm coming around to it.
FWIW, I have been to the Falls Church municiple building on business. Based on that empirical data -- which I suspect is not unique, but rather is shared by almost everyone who has ever stopped by, including the city counsel -- I can say with some certainty that the likelihood of someone who is carrying a weapon shooting a municipal employee is far, far more likely than that person using it against a random attacker.
This is based on the fact that I think the probability of a municipal employee eventually being shot by the first person to walk in there with a gun is over 50%, higher if the person is trying to get a parking sticker for his car.
