A new city ordinance is on the books, requiring second hand gun shops to fingerprint anyone selling a gun. Omaha police say it will help cut violence, by taking illegal weapons off the street.

Do public officials have to pass a stupidity exam?

What makes a weapon “illegal”. More legally it is the illegal use of a weapon. As in holding the person using the weapon responsible. My first gun buy was out of the paper in Amarillo, Texas. Ruger .357 mag. $125.00 Deal done, no problem. I have had the pistol for 20 years and damn if the gun hasn’t gone off and gone postal. AMAZING. The stupid gun laws focus on the firearm and not on the person operating the firearm.

They do in Connecticut, but I was unaware that it was also a requirement in Nebraska.
