Omaha Mayor Signs Ban on ‘Bump Stocks,’ Gun Kits

Omaha, Nebraska, Mayor Jean Stothert signed two gun-control measures this month, one that bans “bump stocks” and the other that bans gun-building kits.

Nebraska’s elections are nonpartisan, but Stothert identified as Republican “in her filing for the 2017 election,” Ballotpedia reported.

The Nebraska Examiner noted that Stothert signed the ban on “bump stocks” Thursday, and she signed the ban on gun-building kits November 9.

The gun controls signed by Stothert appear to be leading to legal challenges against Omaha. Those readying the legal challenges point to legislation Gov. Jim Pillen (R) signed earlier this year removing the “local charter authority” Omaha had used to pass stricter controls than exist at the state level.

Stothert sounds like a really idiot

[Vermont Lt]

I guess the people of Omaha have nothing better to do with their solicitor’s office.

[Myrddin]

The prospect of having different gun laws in every city you visit is just insanity. There is no way you could keep up with all the individual laws. The individual "charter" BS has to be squashed.

[jeffersondem]

Should have signed a city ordinance prohibiting murder; then enforce with zero tolerance.

[Seruzawa]

Won’t survive a challenge. Virtue signalling nonsense.

[faithhopecharity]

nor only is he an idiot,
he’s violating his oath of office to uphold our liberties as American citizens,

he should be removed from office ASAP

[Bonemaker]

She’s a huge disapppointment. I thought she’d be a good mayor. Big city-itis.

[maddog55]

Idiot is correct, she has absolutely no standing on the issue whatsoever.

[NorthMountain]

Stothert identified as Republican

Bruce Jenner "identifies" as a female.

Equally as legit.

[ETCM]

Mayor Stothert, a Republican (in name only) needs to go. Sounds like she would be more at home in San Francisco than Omaha.

[BipolarBob]

BUT did they ban the Bump Stock Kit to build your own bump stock? I didn’t think so.

[T.B. Yoits]

Omaha Nebraska, Mayor Jean Stothert needs to be charged as a Tory, sentenced, serve her time, and then be deported to England.

Good riddance.

[Scrambler Bob]

she signed the ban on gun-building kits November 9.
= ==

I may have a block of steel, and some hardwood.

The start of a gun-building kit - EEK!

Or our local library has a workspace with 3D printers - double EEK!

[GreyHoundSailor]

I just checked four well-known online suppliers for kits and none show any restrictions on shipping to any location in Nebraska.

[Texas Fossil]

Both actions are clearly unconstitutional.

Courts have already ruled on them.

[Drew68]

Stothert sounds like a really idiot

Wonder where she got the idea?

Has Trump ever walked back his bump stock ban, apologized to gun right supporters (you know, those people who voted for him) and said he was wrong and would never do something so stupid again?

“Mean Queen Jean” Stothert
