Local gun laws under fire in Nebraska from bill that would make state regulations supreme

[J_William_Ryan]

1. Its the kind of situation that exhibits the hypocrisy common to most on the right.

Conservatives, purveyors of the ‘will of the people,’ and who supposedly oppose government regulation and intrusion, in this case seek to compel conformity and ignore the will of the people of local jurisdictions and their right to enact lawful, Constitutional measures as they see fit.

“State Sen. Mike Hilgers of Lincoln, a committee member who sponsored the bill, said Friday that he believes the local codes infringe upon gun rights in both the Nebraska and U.S. Constitutions.” ibid

Wrong.

The Omaha ordinance that prohibits transporting loaded rifles is perfectly Constitutional, it does not ‘infringe’ on the Second Amendment, as the Supreme Court has made no ruling invalidating such an ordinance.
