Oakland City Council unanimously approved a measure proposed by Larry Reid, who represents East Oakland. It includes three proposed changes:
-Require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms to the Oakland Police Department
-Requiring a thumbprint for all ammunition purchases
-Enforcing strict permit requirements for the sale of firearms and ammunition in Oakland
Of course, Oakland does not have any firearms or ammunition dealers who sell to the public.
It is expected that the Supreme Court will decide in favor of the plaintiffs in McDonald v. Chicago, and that the Second Amendment will be incorporated as against the states. Oakland City officials look to spend tax dollars on a futile attempt to make gun ownership more difficult in Oakland. The City of Oakland could be forced to pay the legal fees of prevailing counsel if/when they lose in Federal Court.
The City Council is expected to consider the proposal for a final vote on Feb. 16.
CalGuns Forums has a great thread discussing this issue HERE
There is also a thread for the upcoming Fe.16th City Council Meeting HERE
This is such a bullshit attempt at some liberal moral victory that will be hollow in any positive effect and will cost a lot of tax dollars.
