Description
Control of firearms by localities. Removes the authority for a locality by ordinance to prohibit the possession or carrying of firearms, ammunition, or components or any combination thereof in (i) any building, or part thereof, owned or used by such locality for governmental purposes; (ii) any public park owned or operated by the locality; (iii) any recreation or community center facility; or (iv) any public street, road, alley, or sidewalk or public right-of-way or any other place of whatever nature that is open to the public and is being used by or is adjacent to a permitted event or an event that would otherwise require a permit. The bill provides that any firearm received by the locality pursuant to a buy-back program shall be offered for sale by public auction or sealed bids to a person licensed as a dealer. Current law provides that any such firearm shall be destroyed by the locality unless the person surrendering the firearm requests in writing that the firearm be offered for sale. The bill also limits the authority of localities and state governmental entities to bring lawsuits against certain firearms manufacturers and others. Read the Bill »

Comments
Terrible bill. Gives authority to The State to determine public safety needs of the community, thus leaving all citizens vulnerable to those with guns. No public space then safe, sacred.
My husband left me due to my lack of children for 9 years. My heart was broken because I could no longer bear the pain. I started looking for help on the Internet and found an article by (Sandar) that said DR Ogbo helped her recover her husband after paying some (spiritual items) used to prepare the spell that brought her husband back in 42 hours. I adhered to his testimony and connected with Dr Ogbo and after pouring my pains,Dr Ogbo gave me his words that I will become pregnant within a month after my husband returns. I believed him and followed all his instructions I needed to solve my case. I was surprised when I received a call from my husband saying he was sorry and that he would return home and that this happened within 42 hours after Dr Ogbo prepared a love spell for me. My husband came back to me and this time we came back again and unbreakable. After 2 weeks, I was pregnant with my husband and gave birth to a lovely daughter we called (JOY). You may be going through hell now, but I tell you it won't last forever, because Dr Ogbo is here to help us all.
