SeanN:
I have also emailed (with some slight modifications) the exact same thing to all of the members of the Omaha City Council.

We need more people to act on this and let them know what we think. We cannot expect them to properly represent us if we do not speak out. It isn't their failing but our own if we don't do what we can. Let's reclaim our gun rights in Omaha, people!

Subject: Possible Spam: RE: Omaha Mayor's Office: Fingerprinting For
Firearms Sales Ordinance

Dear Don,

Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding the City Council ordinance
regarding gun sales in secondhand shops. 

Mayor Suttle supports the ordinance that requires secondhand gun dealers
to fingerprint people who want to sell guns, a practice that is already
required in pawn shops.   This ordinance is another tool to protect the
rights of law abiding gun owners and prevent illegal guns from falling
into the hands of criminals.   In addition, this ordinance will help in
the prosecution of criminals who will attempt to sell an unlicensed gun.
Because the ordinance helps protect the safety of our community and the
2nd amendment rights of gun owners, Mayor Suttle believes the ordinance
will have a positive impact for the citizens of Omaha and signed the
ordinance into law.   

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this
subject.  Please don't hesitate to contact the mayor's office in the
future.

Thank you,

T.J. Smith
Mayor's Office
Hotline Director
City Of Omaha

Can one of you extremely pissed off guys explain to me why this is worse than providing any other form of legal ID already required when selling to a gun dealer.  I am not saying it will not have the effect on gun sales in city limits like you predict, but I have given up my fingerprints so many times so I can have the guns I want what do I care?

SeanN:
It's just another unnecessary piece of legislation that makes it more difficult/annoying to own a firearm. And it's a huge waste of our tax money. And, in my opinion, it will do virtually nothing to stop crime. I emailed the city council as well.

This is an expansion of what is already being done, NO ONE is being harmed nor are their rights being violated.

This is the official response from Councilman Garry Gernandt, apparently.
