Oakland City Council's proposed gun/ammo limitations was discussed previously.
The council approved the firearm ordinance without any no votes. Keep in mind, this useless ordinance just "enhances" already existing laws and it doesn't even affect any current businesses (because no gun or ammo stores exist in Oakland)!
Over 30 people showed up to say that the city’s new proposal would not serve as an effective deterrent to crime and infringed on Second Amendment rights. Several opponents of the measure tried to link Oakland’s budget problems to its decision to make further prohibitions to the sale of handguns in the city. The City didn't care.
“You’re going to get sued and you’re going to lose,” said Kevin Thomason, a lawyer who lives in East Oakland. “It cost San Francisco $380,000 when they lost their case against us. It will probably working out to be a million dollars when you lose.”
Councilmember Jean Quan, aware that this could most likely bring lawsuits against the city, says, "we're not backing off."
These new laws:
-implement AB 962 ammunition sales restrictions immediately instead of waiting for the state law to take effect next year;
add ALL ammunition, including rifle and shotgun ammunition, to the restrictions;
-require that all ammunition sellers obtain an FFL,
-require that all lost or stolen firearms be reported within 48 hours; and
-require the Chief of Police to send a letter to all handgun purchasers outlining their “obligations” as owners of nasty guns.
