Action Needed: State Wide Preemption - LB289
RLMoeller:
Our primary target today is Senator Morfeld. Press him to articulate what specific Lincoln ordinances that restrict ownership does he believe are just. Ask him what they are. I don't believe he knows. I don't think they understand which restrictions are duplication of state law and which are specific to Licoln (or Omaha). If we can educate Morfeld we have made huge progress.

No response from the office of Kate Bolz(29). Color me surprised.

Keep working on it. I've spoken to her a couple times, exchanged e=mails and spoken with her staffer. She was, initially, very clearly in favor.
Now that the whole issue is getting bogged down with rhetoric about robocalls during the football game, and carve-outs for city parks, etc., it's all getting muddled.

Here are my thoughts concerning Lincoln's ownership restrictions. When you read down thru the list, most sound , on the surface, "reasonable" even- assault/ domestic, DUI, concealed weapon, etc, etc. are mere misdemeanors and many of these are nothing more than a "don't do it again" and a fine. No harm no foul- collect a few bucks for the court. (such as in Kevin William's case- simple fine) life goes on.
My take is that if these folks were actually a possible menace to society, then a heftier sentence, including jail time and rehabilitation would have been appropriate- ie- felony- which then puts them under federal/ state law as a prohibited person.
Just my take on things
I actually spoke to quite a few folks at the fair last summer, that by Lincoln laws, were barred from owning a gun for various things that happen in life. A couple guys had gotten caught up in a bar brawl- everyone got assault charges (of some sort)- now barred for 10 years IN Lincoln. At least another couple fellas were barred due to
'Domestic Assault' for what was no more than pushing past their significant other to leave the house/ room during an argument. She called po po first- he's without rights IN LINCOLN for at least 10 years.
The list goes on and on. These are the kinds of stories our Senators need to hear. These unconstitutional laws have overreaching unintended consequences and are not needed.
