Omaha, Nebraska: Proposal Requiring Fingerprinting for Firearm Sales Put on Hold for Three Weeks

Omaha Contact Your City Council Members Now!

Friday, June 26, 2009

 

At Tuesday afternoon’s Omaha City Council hearing, the proposed ordinance to require fingerprinting for all guns sales to “secondhand stores” (such as Scheels and Guns Unlimited) was tabled for three weeks to allow for further review.  It is important that you use this time to contact the City Council and urge them not to support this proposal. 

The ordinance would require gun stores to fingerprint anyone who sells a firearm to the store. The ordinance would also require store owners to keep those fingerprints on record and authorize law enforcement to inspect those records without notice or warrant.

If passed, this could lead to future ordinances requiring fingerprinting for all firearm transactions.

Please contact the members of the City Council and respectfully voice your opposition to this measure.  Contact information can be found below.

Welcome to the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association  

  Our membership is open to all types of firearms owners as long as you are a resident of the state of Nebraska. Whether you are a trap shooter, long-range rifle shooter, concealed handgun permit holder, air gun, rifle and or shotgun hunter, NFA firearms enthusiast or any other group of firearms owner you are welcome to join our organization. The best thing about our organization is that membership will not cost you anything!

  We are local firearms owners who have a personal interest in representing firearms owners rights in Nebraska. While there are much larger firearms owner groups and lobbyists, we have a personal stake right here in fighting for our rights. We do not have big money to fly in lobbyists from the coasts, we do not have the money to wine and dine Legislators, and we are just everyday normal Nebraska residents like you who want our voices to be heard by the various law makers. Best of all, we will not send you any mailings begging for money like the large national firearms owner groups. We will operate on a low budget and make due with what money is donated to us voluntarily.
