Gun registration in Omaha

--- Quote from: FreedomOne on September 28, 2011, 12:42:20 AM ---Why is it that in Omaha, NE you have to register any gun you own? I do believe that is called infringement on my rights to own a gun. Why hasn't that issue been taken up at the court level? Of course that is just like why do we have to take a class to carry concealed? That is also infringement on my rights to carry. Why wasn't that discussed before that dumb law was passed a few years ago. According to Nebraska's Constitution we didn't need it! What are the thoughts on these subjects? Would like to hear them all! Thanks!

This city ordinance has been on the books since the very early 1900s at least, why hasn't the city council repealed it all these years? I think because in general, Nebraskans as whole are anti gun. I had a concealed carry permit in South Dakota back when I was stationed there. All it cost was $25 and they sent it in the mail. I was shocked and dismayed when I PCSd here to Nebraska in 1995 and found out that they didn't have concealed carry permits at all. It wasn't until 2007 when the law was finally passed allowing concealed carry. Are you serious? On top of that you have to go through a class and pay an outrageous processing fee.
Sure, the number of CHP holders is increasing, at over 15,000 at last count. But that's a drop in the bucket compared to other states. Unfortunately, I think that the Omaha City Council and perhaps the legislators and the Nebraskan public in general, views organizations like the NFOA as a fringe group, representing a small special interest. Sad to say, a moron like Ernie Chambers has more political clout than law abiding gun owners, and that's a reflection of the voting public.
