Default Seattle Mayor authorizes confiscation of weapons

It looks like in response to the recent Occupy riots yesterday, the Mayor of Seattle has declared a civil emergency which means that the authorities can confiscate weapons from citizens. Now it does state this doesn't apply to residential or business, but it means anyone walking around with a "weapon" will have it taken away.

Also this is an illegal order since the Mayor of Seattle doesn't declare emergencies, but the governor does.
