Saw something odd on the Lancaster Sheriff page today

(1/3) > >>

Bill:
So I was looking at the Sheriff page because I need to get my purchase card again.  (JMO but I think the process for the card is ripe for an "undue burden" lawsuit since you have to go there in person to even get the form.)

And I see this: City of Lincoln Online Gun Registration (Report the sale of a gun) http://cjis.lincoln.ne.gov/~lpd/gunreg/

Since when does the City of Lincoln have a gun registration law?  If it doesn't have a law, why is this here?

taken from: http://lincoln.ne.gov/city/attorn/lmc/ti09/ch936.pdf

9.36.030 Report of Sale of Firearms.
Any person, firm, association, or corporation dealing in firearms of any type shall, on the
same day of the sale of any firearm, except a shotgun or a rifle of a type commonly used for hunting,
report the sale to the Police Department on forms as prescribed and furnished by the Police
Department. The report shall contain all the information requested thereon. (Ord. 15625 §3; July
9, 1990: P.C. §9.28.025: Ord. 15443 §1; February 20, 1990: prior Ord. 7936 §1; December 26,
1962).

Bill:
I guess you learn something every day.  Another reason I wish I didn't live in Lincoln.

That ordinance doesn't seem to apply to private sales, but the online form has an option for "private sale". 

I know I'm looking at it wrong, but what possible purpose does this serve other than waste police resources?

Police: "We just want to know who has guns."

AAllen:
Well Bill, remember that Ordinance that a person with 2 DUI's or just one count of obstructing the government (and a lot of other major ::) crimes) can not posses a firearm, well they go through the lists (and check them twice) so they can come out and arrest those people and confiscate their guns.
