Nebraska’s largest city won’t be able to enforce its ban on guns on all public property, including parks and sidewalks, while a lawsuit challenging that restriction moves forward.
Douglas County District Judge LeAnne Srb issued a preliminary injunction Friday blocking that ban, but she refused to put Omaha’s restrictions on “ghost guns” and bump stocks on hold.
The Liberty Justice Center filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Nebraska Firearms Owners Association arguing that the city restrictions violate a new state law passed last year that allows people to carry concealed guns across the state without a permit and without the need to complete a gun safety course. A similar lawsuit challenging gun restrictions in Lincoln remains pending.
Okay so wouldn’t that imply that there’s something else going on causing the shootings since the school shootings haven’t been like this since for the majority of the existence of the country? How many school shootings happen at the hands of ccw permit holders? Most of the time it seems they’re not even using concealable weapons.
Yeah, I don’t think CCW and school shootings are really overlapping issues, except maybe in the most general sense of the perceived need for a gun. CCW most closely relates to gun crime and violence on the whole.
