THIS is why we have to stop local ordinances!!! Already spreading like cancer!!!

As all of you are hopefully aware, the city of Sacramento is considering a couple awful anti-gun ordinances, one of them requiring gun owners to report the loss or theft of a firearm within 48 hours.

"oh, that's not so bad" many of you reply.

Well how would you like to be charged with a FELONY upon your second conviction like they are trying to do in Connecticut??

How easy do you think it would be for them to bump it up to a felony conviction for a FIRST offense??

2) Yet ANOTHER CA city is trying to get this same ordinance passed:

WE NEED TO FIGHT AND DEFEAT THESE WHILE THEY ARE STILL LOCAL ORDINANCES AND NOT STATE-WIDE BILLS!!!

Yea I read that Port Hueneme is trying to pull the same crap on reporting lost
or stolen weapons>
http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2007/jun/06/port-hueneme-to-consider-gun-law/

The Port Hueneme City Council will consider two ordinances this evening, one meant to curb gun crimes, the other to limit underage drinking.

The City Council will discuss a draft ordinance that would require gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms within an as yet unspecified time of discovering the weapon is missing.

Mayor Maricela Morales said she introduced the ordinance because she was looking at ways to prevent gun violence.

The ordinance would help police trace weapons more effectively, and according to Morales, deter so-called "straw purchases" of guns, where someone who can legally buy a firearm sells the weapon to someone who can't legally buy one.
This ill reasoned half-baked excuse to introduce this type bill is so
old and bogus..Good lord.

Shouldn't preemption prevent these laws from being enforced?

And I was called a paranoid. Looks like homeboy's girlfriend can still complete a straw purchase & not get in trouble if she reports her handgun stolen in 24 hours. How does it make us any safer from the BGs?

Bump...........

Perhaps rather than just fighting against Sac Co. and others (Co Co Co), that pass these idiotic things, we should take a leaf from IL's playbook and get pro-2nd A counties (Kern, OC, and/or some rural counties) to pass declarations we like.

The Illinois pro-gun County Count advances

I announced yesterday that Johnson County, Illinois had joined Brown, Pike, Schuyler, and Hancock Counties in adopting resolutions condemning all the civilian disarmament legislation being pushed on the state by Chicago Mayor Daley and his pet legislators.

Today, I learned that Randolph County has joined the five trailblazers in standing for freedom, and against so-called "gun control." I have also learned that Henry, Pope, Massac, Union, and White Counties (White has the measure on the County Board agenda for Monday, June 11th) are working on adopting something similar. We're also working on it here in Madison County (where I live), but it's hard to say whether or not we can pull it off here.

So for those keeping score, six counties have already adopted such resolutions, and at least that many more are giving it a good, hard look.

Oh, by the way, when I mentioned the Johnson County resolution yesterday, I promised to post the text as soon as I had it. It turns out that it's identical to the text of the proposed resolution in Madison County, which can be found in the link to the petition.
