Oakland, California --(AmmoLand.com)- Oakland, Ca is proposing more anti-gun ordinances. They will vote on their new anti-gun Effort this coming Tuesday, February 16. It is imperative that we mount a full-scale opposition to their effort.

Please Attend The February 16 Oakland City Council Meeting To Voice Your Opposition!

When: Tuesday, February 16, at 06:00 p.m.

Where: Third Floor Oakland City Hall 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, CA 94612

Wear business clothing. Coats and ties are encouraged.

The Ordinances: These new laws would

1. implement the draconian AB 962 ammunition sales restrictions immediately instead of waiting for the state law to take effect next year;
2. add ALL ammunition, including rifle and shotgun ammunition, to the restrictions;
3. require that all ammunition sellers obtain an FFL,
4. require that all lost or stolen firearms be reported within 48 hours; and
5. require the Chief of Police to send a letter to all handgun purchasers outlining their “obligations” as owners of nasty guns.

Background:
The “Legal Community Against Violence” (LCAV), a San Francisco-based violently anti-gun group of lawyers, came up with another pre-packaged anti-gun legislative program. They shopped it to around 190 Bay Area municipalities.

Oakland’s city government is not prone to being reasonable.

The BIG Danger:
LCAV started their targeted anti-gun onslaught in the late 1990s when they helped create the so-called East Bay Public Safety Corridor Partnership. With LCAV’s help, the “Partnership” was instrumental in passing anti-gun laws in most of Alameda and Contra Costa County towns.

If these laws pass in Oakland, THEY WILL MIGRATE TO YOUR TOWN! An Oakland victory will embolden LCAV to push their agenda all over the greater Bay Area and up to the state level!

WE MUST STOP THEM NOW!

Gun Rights Victory – Court Strikes Down Seattle Park Gun Ban

Second Amendment Foundation

SEATTLE, WA – -(AmmoLand.com)- A King County Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association, striking down a ban on guns in city parks because it violates Washington State’s long-standing preemption statute.

Judge Catherine Shaffer ruled from the bench that the gun ban, adopted under former Mayor Greg Nickels, violates Washington’s law, which placed sole authority for regulating firearms in the hands of the State Legislature. That law was adopted in 1983 and amended in 1985, and has served as a model for similar laws across the country.

SAF and NRA were joined in the lawsuit by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Washington Arms Collectors and five individual plaintiffs.

“This is a great victory for the rule of law and Washington citizens,” said SAF Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Greg Nickels was so blinded by his personal hatred for firearms owners and his own arrogance that he imagined the city under his control could simply ignore state law. That arrogance cost Nickels his job last year. We repeatedly warned him not to push a gun ban, but he refused to listen.

“It is also a victory for the Legislature,” he observed, “because this case affirms the intent of lawmakers in 1983 to prevent cities like Seattle from creating a nightmare patchwork of conflicting and confusing firearms regulations. The ruling solidifies the legislature’s authority and sends a message to city and county governments to stop meddling with the rights of Washington citizens.”

Gottlieb suggested a review of local ordinances may now be in order, so that city and county governments can be compelled to remove old gun regulations or face legal consequences.

“This ruling puts anti-gun local officials on notice that legally-armed citizens have rights, too,” Gottlieb stated.
