Lincoln's New Bill to change city code on storage

<< < (8/9) > >>

LJUnaTIC:
We need to remember this was an effort to cut off the NAGV agenda at an early stage,  before their influence with the Council grew to the point they felt they could try something over the top like a semiauto ban.

GreggL:

I spoke with one of the council members today to thank them for voting for the amendment, they assured me that the council had received a high volume of correspondence objecting to the original changes and supporting the final amendment. Thank you to all who contacted the Council! Hopefully this will help stave off the in home storage push for a while!

ILoveCats:
In reality, this demonstrated that if we are not apathetic, even with a democrat-leaning city council, the “system” can work. Like them or not, the council voted on a common sense amendment and effectively ended the nonsensical prior ordinance.  Several local media outlets reported that the only public input was against the original, un-amended law. 

That’s impressive because conservatives are difficult to mobilize, because they have jobs and families and volunteer commitments at church or coaching their kids’ sports teams, etc.  Liberals by comparison are usually pot smoking homeless bums — or as near as makes no difference — and have all the time in the world to do political stuff like camp out on centennial mall playing the banjo as part of the Occupy Wall Street thing or whatever it was they were doing. 

If they try to introduce another ordinance anytime soon, I think it will be time for me to go on the offensive again with all of the facts about how the previous mayor’s “safe storage task force” was a ruse, and a kangaroo court of the former public safety director’s friends and family.  This included the same student / family member who was later the subject of a statewide Amber Alert because she ran off with some guy from Colorado.  Great judgment runs in that family I guess.  ::)

I decided to check out their FB page (after enabling a VPN, using private browser mode from within a virtual machine), and came across this lovely gem:

--- Quote ---Nobody is safer with a gun. Myths like "responsible gun owner" and "self defense" are designed to lull us into a false reality which does real harm.
--- End quote ---

In other words, their ultimate goal is not "responsible gun ownership", it's no gun ownership.  We all need to remember that as we proceed against their agenda in the future.

Good job Lincoln gun owners for showing up to the hearing and speaking up! IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The biggest threat I see on the horizon though is Lincoln Senator Adam Morfeld's LB 58 "Extreme Risk Protection Order Act" aka Red Flag Gun Confiscation Law which he has stated he will make his priority in this next session starting in January! WE NEED TO STOP THIS!
