Palm Springs: Citizens Must Disable the Firearms in Their Homes


Combined with the LA city council’s recent decision to force firearm owners to disable or lock their weapons at home, the new Palm Springs measures make the southern California area one of the most inhospitable for law-abiding gun owners:

“In fact, 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures showed that over seven times more children 10 and under were killed in fire-related deaths than accidental gun deaths. And the number of children 10 and under killed in accidental drownings was over 16 times higher than the number killed in accidental gun deaths. Besides being silent on these facts, Smith also failed to explain how requiring a law-abiding citizen to lock up his guns will save that citizen’s life if an intruder storms his residence.

Councilman J.R. Roberts voted to require law-abiding citizens to disable their guns as a way of preventing ‘youths’ from grabbing a gun ‘in a moment of hopelessness.’ Roberts did not explain why homes without ‘youths’ in them should also be required to disable their guns.

Gun owner Andrew Hirsch was among the 15 who spoke against the gun control. He said ‘the prior city council was known for corruption’ and suggested the current city council is soiling its own reputation by ‘using its powers to restrict the freedoms of law-abiding people.'”
