IN THE NEWS- Looser Gun Laws go into effect. ?????

(1/3) > >>

NE Bull:
Ok, I know I haven't been as attentive as usual on the legislative side of things, but could someone fill me in on what "LOOSER GUN LAWS" might be going into effect this week, as stated in all the interweb news sites. Of course they leave it at that and don't go into detail.

NE Bull:
Nevermind, found 'em. I guess I don't consider these "Looser"

""LOOSENING GUN RESTRICTIONS: People who are released from mental health facilities will get the opportunity to ask a mental health board to reinstate their rights to buy a handgun or obtain a concealed-carry permit. The law requires boards to reinstate gun rights if petitioners show "clear and convincing evidence" that the restriction should be removed. The law is LB100.

Another new gun law would let university-sanctioned firearms teams possess rifles, pistols and shotguns on campus. Current law only lets them have rifles. The law is LB321.

Still another will prohibit local law enforcement from disclosing individual gun permit records to the public, a policy cheered by gun-rights advocates as a way to protect firearm owners from harassment. Open-government advocates say it's unnecessary. The law is LB902. ""

They ought to do away with other gun laws also. Particularly,  the immediate "duty to inform". Do they really think that a bad guy/gal is going to voluntarily inform the LEO that they are CC'ing? A law abiding citizen is no threat to a LEO but you'll end up with a criminal record if you don't tell them. It's just another law that just makes criminals out of us for no good reason. Just like other ridiculous laws that don't make anyone safer.

I don't really have much of an issue with that one personally (it shouldn't be a law, but it's still a good idea to do so in my opinion), however I'd love to see them remove the law making it a criminal action to carry in a so-called "Gun-free zone".  All it does is serve to disarm law abiding people while empowering the criminals.  If the property owner wants to make a statement, then so be it, but there should not be legal enforcement behind that (especially given that there's no clear guidelines on what the signs should look like or where they should be placed).

As has been said before so many times; gun control is always about the control, rarely about the guns.  The guns are simply a convenient means of exerting the control (that, and removing guns from the equation does make the control aspect easier to enforce).

The left just wants to meddle in and control our lives, from cradle to the grave.  And if failing to adhere to every jot and tittle of their laws incidentally leads to us becoming criminals, then so be it.

There used to be an organization around here that would keep people informed about things like this....  Don't hear much from it anymore though.  :(
