CALNRA: City of Sacramento to Consider 2 Gun Control Ordinances on May 15th
6:00 AM, 5/12/2007

On Tuesday, May 15, 2007, the Sacramento City Council Law & Legislation Committee will consider two ordinances:

1) Mandatory Ammunition Sales Recordkeeping - Would require all FFLs in Sacramento to maintain and send electronic records of every ammunition sale to law enforcement. More information and ONE-CLICK service is available at:

2) Mandatory Reporting of Loss or Theft of Firearms - Would require gun owners in Sacramento to report the theft or loss of their firearms within 48 hours. More information and ONE-CLICK service is available at:

Meh these never bothered me too much. It is the law here in Ohio, and you should be reporting it anyway....in Ohio it is called Grand Theft Firearm and about the same seriousness as stealing a car.

It's disturbing when gun-owners want to capitulate on gun control and need to be convinced - ALL OVER AGAIN - it's a bad idea and not to join sides with anti-gunners.

There are numerous problems with Sacramento's approach to these issues.

1. Your gun may be stolen or lost and you may never realize it (stored away in a lodge, etc)... the loss/theft reporting ordinances states "...from when you reasonably should have known..." - need I say more?

2. Without this law, law-abiding gun owners and law enforcement are happy to work together to recover lost/stolen guns - why not? But after this law, gun-owners are better advised to seek an attorney as they are now possible subjects of prosecution (violation of Sacramento's proposed ordinance is a misdemeanor and could threaten your right to own guns for up to 10 years.)

3. WASTE OF RESOURCES - We have found law enforcement in the areas that have passed this don't even know it's on the books. See:

Also, studies have proven ammo sales records are useless in tracking crime. See:

Reporting lost firearms? Many people think this is somehow "good sense", but what does it actually accomplish? It does nothing other than turn the victim into a criminal and invite potential harassment by LE.

What good does it actually do for "the community"? Does LE send out a notice? Do they send out a task force to look for the missing gun? Do they let police know there is one more gun out there to be on the lookout for or be careful of? No. It accomplishes absolutely nothing, other than turning the victim into a criminal. It tuns the gun owner, who was victimized, into a criminal, and for what?
