[T]hey have support from Councilman Robbie Waters, formerly a sheriff and city homicide detective. A longtime gun-rights advocate, Waters says he thinks the measures wouldn't "weaken people's legitimate rights," but they would help police stem gun violence.
So, being required to submit a thumbprint and have my personal information recorded before being allowed to purchase ammunition doesn't infringe on my unalienable right to keep and bear arms, Councilthing? And as far as reporting goes, have you told everyone that criminals--you know, the ones who actually engage in that "gun violence" you say will be stemmed--would be exempt, because that would violate their right against self-incrimination?
How the SacBee figures this statist tool for a "gun-rights advocate" goes beyond Orwellian. The "authorized journalists" wouldn't be lying to us (again), would they?
By the way, Robbie--nice office.
