City of Lake Worth to Ban assault weapons

The liberals feel empowered--As the mayor would say, this is "pontificating." It is meaningless at this point and nothing more than a wish--up the ante, make it more difficult for people to have guns and watch out 2nd Amendment.

Once again, Democrats Omari Hardy and Herman Robinson have been determined to ban assault weapons in our city or what they believe to be assault weapons but they can't tell you what exactly they want banned.  If someone wants an assault weapon, he will get one.

What is their definition of an "assault" weapon? How far will this hopeful ban go?  Will they want to ban conceal carry next?  President Trump is all for extensive background checks, raising the minimum age to 21 and the Fix NICS Act that would ensure that states and federal agencies comply with existing law on reporting criminal history records to the national background check system.

Resolution 17-2018 ban on assault weapons
SUMMARY:

The Resolution advocates for common-sense policies that keep guns out of dangerous hands while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, and strongly believes that Congress and state governments should take action to close deadly gaps in the NICS.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION:
February 14, 2018, a mass shooting occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida killing 17 students, teachers and coaches and wounding 14 others, 5 with life-threatening injuries.

Commissioners Robinson and Hardy have requested that the City take a position advocating for changes by lawmakers at the Federal and State levels to significantly improve the processes such as background checks and for designating certain devices and weapons as illegal.
