PLEASE OPPOSE THIS RESOLUTION / NOVEMBER 1ST AGENDA
RESOLUTIONS:
Resolve 3-10/11 Resolution Supporting Legislation Prohibiting Guns in Publicly
(Tab 10) Owned or Controlled Buildings or Facilities that Host Large Public Gatherings - Sponsored by the Public Safety Committee, Councilor Daniel S. Skolnik, Chair.
On October 12th, the Public Safety Committee voted 2-0 to send a Resolution to the Council supporting the creation of state legislation that would prohibit firearms in certain publicly owed facilities where mass gatherings occur.
Staff is requesting that this item be postponed to the November 15th Council meeting.
Prior to the Public Safety Committee meeting in October endorsing this resolution it was advanced concealed firearm permit holders would be exempt from this effort. As a surprise, they voted 2-0 to reverse course and chose to ban all firearms.
We advanced our constitutionally and statute backed arguments defending our position here. Compare this effort to a drivers license where every community had different rules and regulations. Such regulations would create chaos and mounting legal battles.
In closing, please enter our position in your meaningful deliberation.
Respectfully,
