I can’t think of a single city south of the Mason-Dixon line where you could get away with some city law like this. People would fire the mayor and city council rather quickly.
Durham, North Carolina. Up until recently Durham was the only jurisdiction in the entire state of North Carolina where handgun registration was “required” (or even, for that matter, legal). They were grandfathered in when the state law banning handgun registration was passed in the ‘30s for Jim Crow reasons, as Durham has always had a large black population.
The General Assembly recently revoked Durham’s exception under the law...over the violent objection of the local government, who are all liberals (many of them racist radical blacks) who support extreme gun restrictions or gun bans.

Washington is south of the Mason-Dixon line, which is the PA-MD border. But I hear ya.
