Sacramento ignores own research in pressing gun control
02/10/2007

CalNRA.com has obtained an official Sacramento report (http://calnra.com/local/sacramento/sacmandrepreqrep070210.pdf) which illustrates clearly that, in December of 2006, the City of Sacramento ignored their own research in voting to support a gun control ordinance that has a proven record of failure.

The ordinance requires gun-owners to report the loss or theft of firearms within 48 hours. In response to queries by the City Council, Sacramento officials conducted their own research to determine how effective the regulation has been in areas that have already passed it. The resulting report, dated 2 weeks before the vote, documents an ordinance that has provided absolutely zero benefit. All of the lofty claims of giving law enforcement an additional tool were known to be false. In even the most forgiving of analyses, in very real terms this idea is a bust and Sacramento should be ashamed for advancing it.

Prerequisites for public service do not include honesty or intelligence. When the public is so put off by politicians and political process that rational thinking individuals avoid public office, then we have basically defered to the MORONS of society for our law making.

I while I might say yes under certain circumstances but...its still the public's fault for not being active in their local politics, hence we get the MORONS and crooks in society making the laws.:(

Mike , you are on top of it again

The next time a gun control issue comes before the city council, particularly the ordinance in question, I'm going to go there and make a stink.

I'm going to ask hard, direct questions.

This is inexcusable.
