S2.22 21-0922 Subject: Ghost Gun Ordinance
From: Councilmembers Kalb, Gallo And Vice Mayor Kaplan
Recommendation: Adopt An Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.36 "Weapons" To Require Privately Made Firearms, Commonly Referred To As "Ghost Guns," To Comply With State Law, Prohibit Nonexempt Persons From Possessing, Selling, Offering For Sale, Transferring, Purchasing, Transporting, Receiving Or Manufacturing An Unfinished Firearm Frame Or Receiver That Has Not Been Imprinted With A Serial Number And Prohibiting Nonexempt Persons From Possessing, Manufacturing Or Assembling A Privately Made Firearm That Has Not Been Imprinted With A Serial Number
HI, I'm Sara Feldkamp, an Oakland resident and a volunteer with Every Town for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense In America
I support the ordinance introduced by City Council Member Kalb to ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of “ghost guns” in the City of Oakland. Such privately manufactured firearms can be readily assembled by untrained amateurs using common household tools and are untraceable and unregulated. The ease of access to these untraceable weapons contributes to the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our community.
Please vote in support of this important ordinance to keep law enforcement safe from people who are seeking out ways to own firearms outside of our current laws. This is really dangerous!
