Tucson City Council leaders voted unanimously to support stricter gun control with a memorial resolution Wednesday night, and are asking licensed gun dealers to abide by the Brady Bill code of conduct.
The bill includes the following: Asking gun dealers to work to prevent sales to straw purchasers, or those buying guns for others. Asking dealers not to sell guns until results of a background check are in - right now a loophole allows dealers to sell at will if the results come back as "delayed." Asking dealers to train workers to spot risky buyers. Working with police to prevent criminal access to firearms by doing things such as recording all transactions.
A local NRA spokesman called this move by city council a big waste of time.
"It's just nonsensical distraction by people like Steve Kozachik, who has no authority over firearms," Todd Rathner said. "We got a city full of potholes, we're losing cops, we have a Sun Tran strike and they're fiddling around with nonsensical memorial resolutions that does absolutely nothing about crime."
NRA members said there are already more than 10,000 gun laws on the books that just need to be enforced by the U.S. government.

Isn't that profiling? I thought liberals were against that.
little late, fast and furious....
Ok, don’t sell any guns to black attorney generals....
ah krap! more of this bs....?
“the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
maybe we should give Tucson back to Mexico, since the city council doesn’t wish to be in USA anymore?
Everything they are talking about the BATFE already allegedly does.
Tucson is dumb as usual
Asking gun dealers to work to prevent sales to straw purchasers, or those buying guns for others. = ALREADY AGAINST THE LAW
Working with police to prevent criminal access to firearms by doing things such as recording all transactions. =Already IS the Law
A "Loophole"?
Is it a loophole or a provision that was knowingly and intentionally written into the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 by the originator of the bill, Representative (now Senator) Charles E. "Schmucky" Schumer [D-NY], and signed into law by democrat president Bill Clinton?
The dealers need to reply that they will think about it after the Democrats start abiding by the Human Decency Code of Conduct. Otherwise, they can gently place their goofy, liberal, gun-grabbing “memorial” in a place where the Sun won’t cause the colors to fade. Being as polite and gentle as I can be.
Tuscon: hellishly hot, and full of demons.
Garrett Lewis on 790 AM Tucson went over this this morning.
I don’t know if anyone else heard this, because I hadn’t, but the Chattanooga gay white-hater shooter was arrested earlier this year for being under a controlled substance (don’t remember which) and it was on his record, but that bit fell through the cracks and it never surfaced when he was going through the gun’s background check.
Steve Kasajeck (sp), is our trans-political turncoat:
“Steve Kozachik, a city councilman in Tucson, Ariz., is switching his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat after sparking controversy with a gun buyback program.
Kozachik recently came under fire from the National Rifle Association after he asked police to do a gun buyback on January 8th.”
Here is more good discussion on this topic:
Here is something I found:
“I doubt that the city will run them “out of business”. as with the gun shows, they just moved out of the city! Also the state has passed a law that the city can’t pass gun ordinances. If they try I can see multiple law suits that the city will lose on the basis of the state law and discrimination!”
Code of Conduct? Really? What is this, 13th grade?
