Let's focus on making this his end.... No complaining about the NRA or other things. We have to focus... Jean Stothert is the only person running for Mayor who has told me personally that she would like to see the registration go away and an end of the tie between Mayor Bloomberg and Omaha. We have to send a message NOW.. ! ! ! Youmake your choice ... Mine is to defeat Suttle in the primary.... I don't even want to see him in the General election... Lets make this happen.

Mayor Suttle was on KFAB about 5:20 this PM with Chris .............

Didn't hear the whole thing, but what I heard was typical fool drool.

Maybe there is a recording of the program.

You in Omaha had better get organized.  >:D

I heard him in the afternoon too.
When asked how this would help the violence and criminal problem, he said he wasn't going to get into the "details" they would be figured out later.

He also said that "everyone" he spoke with was concerned about the guns.

He was also spouting off on how great Biden is, and we all know his recommendations for self-defense.

I think Suttle hit all the talking points without actually answering any direct questions on how it would help

Suttle’s four main opponents—independent Brad Ashford and Republicans Dave Nabity, Jean Stothert and Dan Welch

Looking at the websites and such for all of these folks, I don't like any of them.  Sigh.

I heard him on the radio..almost sounded like he wasn't sure what he was trying to ban. A more honest response would have been "I really don't know anything about it at all, but when Bloomberg's cutting checks I just smile and bob my head."  I just pray Suttle never sees a rerun of The Rifleman. What Chuck Connors does with that lever action during the intro would make him wet himself and have OPD confiscating Winchesters.  ;)

Unfortunately, for the most part politics is like television ... we accept the least objectionable and the mediocre because there is nothing better.  In the case of Omaha mayoral candidates, the law-abiding gun-owners of Omaha better find a candidate that they can support or they'll end up living like the residents of Chicago, NYC and D.C.

I live in Omaha. I agree we need to get organized. I'm standing behind Jean Stothert. I heard on the radio this morning that Tomorrow there is an informal candidate sitdown at Anthonys steak house at 6:00pm. From what I understand it will be a q&a with all the candidates. This sounds like a great opportunity to let them know what steers our votes. However A quick google search could not confirm the details. If someone else would like to chime in on this to confirm I sure would appreciate it. Lets make sure Jim Suttle regrets his anti constitutional agenda!

Dear Mr Suttle,

We live in Nebraska.  You and I are both Nebraskans.  We are both rednecks, from a redneck state.  Quit acting like you have some sort of stature you dont.  Start acting like a Nebraskan, the peope you work for.

I would really appreciate if we could come up with some ideas for a REAL Call to Action in Omaha, to ensure that Suttle will not be re-elected.

This isn't Colorado, Conneticut, New York, Illinois.....
The gun control fight has just been brought to our FRONT DOOR. The largest city in Nebraska has a Real threat.

We have to rally the freedom lovers of Omaha to Stand up on April 2nd and vote.

We NFOA members of all Nebraskans have no excuse not to do everything in our ability to act. We must hold eachother accountable. You can make excuses for why you can't and explain to your children later on why you failed to act. Or you can pull your pants up and help end Suttle's career. If this isn't tyranny, I don't know what is.

Unless your ok with being limited to revolvers and 16oz sodas by your governement. It is time to take a Serious Stand.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

WHAT: Individual right to keep and bear arms
WHY: Security of a FREE State
BY WHAT MEANS: A well regualte militia

What would todays militia carry?
What does the Military's standard rifleman carry?

Remember it says "keep and bear arms", not
arms and artillery.

Truth is we are under armed.

I just want to throw in that Dave Nabity is very Pro 2A as well.  I haven't specifically asked him about the Omaha gun registration, but I will the next time I see him.
I also agree it would be great to knock Suttle out in the primary.  However, I think the only way he gets knocked out is for Ashford to take away a good chunk of his base.  I'm just not sure he can do that. :-/
So, IMHO it's going to be either Suttle/Ashford going up against either Stothert/Nabity. 

Full disclosure: As a personal friend, I'm a big Nabity supporter so make sure everyone gives him a good look.  ;-)

I am offering leadership, I am offering common sense

uh, huh.

Is it common sense to mislabel object for political purposes? In the same spirit let's call a Bowie knife a  sword.  After all, they look alike.  As far as leadership is concerned, you are leading us away from the Constitutional Rule of Law which will have no end and your example will be used to justify the actions of those with an agenda to replace the Constitution with a Socialist dictatorship.

You are also violating the oath of office you took to become mayor.
Quote
11-101. Oath of office; officers of state and political subdivisions, except constitutional officers; form; endorsement on bonds; filing.
All state, district, county, precinct, township, municipal, and especially appointed officers, except those mentioned in Article XV, section 1, of the Constitution of the State of Nebraska, shall, before entering upon their respective duties, take and subscribe the following oath, which shall be endorsed upon their respective bonds:

I, ......................, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Nebraska, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely and without mental reservation or for purpose of evasion; and that I will faithfully and impartially perform the duties of the office of ........................, according to law, and to the best of my ability. And I do further swear that I do not advocate, nor am I a member of any political party or organization that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or of this state by force or violence; and that during such time as I am in this position I will not advocate nor become a member of any political party or organization that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or of this state by force or violence. So help me God.

So, you made a false statement. You either  had mental reservations or you purposely evaded your oath, or both,  when you decided to propose infringing that which "shall not be infringed".    That makes you guilty of a Class IV felony:
Quote
11-101.02. Oath of office; false statement; penalty.
If any false statement is made in taking either of the oaths prescribed in sections 11-101 and 11-101.01, the person making such false statement shall be deemed guilty of a Class IV felony. No person convicted of perjury in taking the oath as prescribed in either section 11-101 or 11-101.01, shall hold any nonelective position, job, or office for the State of Nebraska, or any political subdivision thereof, where the remuneration of such position, job, or office is paid in whole or in part by public money or funds of the State of Nebraska, or of any political subdivision thereof.

The only question  I have is why the appropriate authorities haven't taken action to remove him from office, and all other elected representatives who  have also violated their oath  of office.   If they will infringe that which shall not be infringed, the 2nd Amendment, when will we learn that they have other infringements in mind, and will use the infringements of the 2A  as a justifying precedent?

Since you have better access than most of us, you may want to ask him what his reasons are to be in support of OPD's "gun amnesty" program.  I have NEVER seen any proof that it reduces crime.

I'll ask him.  I also agree that the buyback programs are stupid.

I haven't heard back from Dave yet on this question, but I am also curious on all the candidates.  I know all of them (except Suttle) are out there as pro 2A today, but I'm curious to the histories on all the candidates.

I'm obviously a Nabity supporter, but I'm curious as to the others stances.  Not today, but over time.

I know I've heard about Stothert supporting gun control in the past, but of course can't find any official records of it.  I haven't really seen or heard anything either way on Welch.

**Edit**
Ha, it helps if I read my facebook first.  I think Dave pretty much summed his position up today on Facebook.

In answer to the many emails and phone calls, friends, I am a supporter and believer in our 2nd Amendment freedoms. I am a member of the Gun Owners Association of American and National Rifle Association. My stance has always been this and I encourage our gun owners to make sure the candidates they support are consistent in their beliefs, not just when it is politcally convenient.

Then somebody asked essentially your same question in the comments and he responded:

Rick Mangold what are your reasons for supporting the OPD gun amnesty program?

David Nabity This program is only a feel-good, bandaid approach. Are we going to truly fix the crime program or nibble around the edges with programs like gun amnesty?

I heard that too.  Well Nebraska is part of America so I think that counts.  :)

Welch pretty much answered my questions in the debate.  He wants more gun control laws, end of discussion.
