Gun registration in Omaha

The solution to this problem would be that the Nebraska Legislature pass a full encompassing firearms preemption bill. We need to break Omaha's grip on the Legislature in regards to them trying to hold onto "home rule" rights which they claim. Such a bill would need to dictate that the State of Nebraska has supreme authority in regards to all gun laws/regulations and that any county, city, town, village or other local rule, regulation, ordinance, or law in regards to firearms is null and void and that any of the aforementioned make any such law or allow such law to remain on the books will be held criminally and civily responspible (fines, criminal charges). Florida has had such a law on the books since the 80's but cities were still violating it because there was no penalty associated with breaking the law. So Florida just this year signed into law strict penalties for cities and their officials that violate the state law.
Furthermore, we also need to include provisions that make it illegal for the State of Nebraska to require registration of firearms. Provisions as this one also are on the books in some other states.
Of course I would like to one day see Nebraska do away with the conceal carry permit and finally respect the 2nd Amendment fully just as Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming have done.

That should be the NFOA's next and top priority goal... in MY opinion anyway.

I couldn't agree more with this thread. I just need some marching orders.

March!

Keep an eye on the page linked below late thursday/early friday for next tuesday's Omaha City Council agenda. It may include a resolution doing away with the citizenship requirement for handgun registration. We need to fill the council chambers when it comes up for the public hearing, which would usually be the week after it is introduced.
