Gun grabbers seem rather energized. That has been a good omen in the past, but not for them.

[stevie_d_64]

Yeah, why didn’t we think of this before???

What a great idea...

/big time sarc

[driftdiver]

Yeah gun control has worked so well everywhere else. Sheesh look at how safe Chicago is.

[BenLurkin]

What is “gun violence”?

Is that like when SUVs suddenly drive into people?

[monkeycard]

...but it's important to observe that the guns are only part of the problem," he said.

Looks like the good citizens of Omaha don't care much for Mayor Mike Fahey:

Omaha Mayor Fahey Recall Petition Drive Starts Today

Send me back to Kansas City

The petitions start circulating today. If you are fed up with Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey, whether it be for his ill-advised, forcible and undemocratic annexations, his costly plans for a needless new ball park, or his overreaching desire to expand the grasp of city government, get out and sign a petition. Don't wait: 21,734 valid signatures are needed by April 22 to get the issue brought to a general vote.

The Black communities of Chicago, D.C., NYC, Detroit should be screaming this at their Reps. Gun control is aimed at the Black community. But, it's now expanding.

All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof.
Nebraska Constitution. art. I, sec. 1

All the RKBA language was added by an initiative of the People in 1988. So far the Courts seem reluctant to enforce it, having ruled that it doesn't invalidate the very sorts laws it was intended to invalidate. (1989 and 1990). Imagine that.

[redgolum]

Omaha.. Not as nutty as Chicago but still trying.

I grew up in Nebraska, and a lot of people I know joke that Omaha is NOT Nebraska. Not sure who would claim them.

Councilman Dan Welch is actually a conservative.

[dbacks]

“What we would like to do is get as many illegal guns off the street as possible,” Welch said.”

The key word is ILLEGAL!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Actually, there might be something to the Kennesaw argument here.

The city should organize a volunteer militia, that would be trained by the police in proper gun use, issued weapons and CC licenses, and asked to routinely carry their weapon and a cell phone when going about their business.

Special emphasis should be used to recruit people from those neighborhoods with greater gun violence. And in some circumstances, to have citizen watch patrols in those neighborhoods. In this case, the initial impact to be to push street crime off the streets, so for several weeks, there would be increased police presence as well in support of the patrols.

Importantly, street criminals usually have few resources, so if they are pushed off the street, they have to move on or run out of money. And once a neighborhood has been “cleaned”, it is much easier to keep crime free.

[CapnJack]

Repeat after me ... there is no such thing as an illegal gun, there is no such thing as an illegal gun.

Good, now go to your local FFL dealer and buy a new one (or via a private sale). Help support the economy.
