OKC Council members are talking about "controlling" AR15s

[Werewolf]

At the end of todays (1/18/2011) meeting, Councilman Bowman and White both expressed, in agreement with the police chief, the need to control "military style" weapons. Councilman Walters opposed these controls. Wake up OKC! There are liberals in control of your City government.

What type of control?

EDITED TO ADD: Oklahoma has preemption. Anything any city government passes along those lines would be moot.

+1...the City Council can posture all it wants to but they have no authority do they?

Best they can hope for is driving dealers out of city limits...not exactly a 'win' for the city.

I hate that term, "military style". If they banned all the weapons the military used, they would have to ban bolt actions as well. Yet they say bolt action is fine because it's a "hunting" rifle. They (politicians) just like to use terms that cause and emotional response. Take "assault weapons" for example. The word assault make you think it's a superior style of weapon, and is more dangerous. It's simply a semi-automatic rifle! Sorry, I'll get off my rant before I end up writing a couple pages on it. lol

Maybe we should quit excusing "misrepresentations" as stupidity among public officials and treat it as the fraud it really is.

Fraud definition from Merriam Webster

"Intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right".

Sounds like OKC has city leaders that are ignorant of the law. Perhaps someone down there should "school" them?

Here is an example of some people in Rogers County trying to educate/correct the gov., see how that's worked for them.
