Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson met with members of City Council’s Safety Committee Wednesday to make the case for a new set of sweeping city gun laws that he said will help prevent firearms from ending up in the hands of criminals.
But the presentation, which included comments from Police Chief Calvin Williams, Safety Director Michael McGrath and the city’s Chief Counsel Rick Horvath, prompted more questions than answers about the proposed ordinances’ power to reduce gun violence in the city.[…]
“I’m of the opinion that the bad people with guns aren’t registering nothing,” said Councilman Michael Polensek. “And in the neighborhood I grew up in, I can assure you that the mafia weren’t registering either. We could pass a whole lot of things here, but I need to know how we are going to better address the illegal guns on the street.”
Councilman Zack Reed pointed out that there are no gun shops in Cleveland, and he questioned how the city could enforce the restriction against buying multiple guns in a 90-day period when people simply buy guns in other cities.
