Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas on Wednesday morning proposed a city ordinance he says would keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
The mayor made the announcement alongside leaders of the Rose Brooks Center, a local organization that offers protection to abused people and pets, saying this is a measure that could save the lives of domestic violence victims.
The measure would make it a municipal violation to carry a firearm if a person is the subject of a restraining order issued by a court or has been convicted of the crime of domestic violence, whether that is a misdemeanor or felony.
"We will try to make sure we can save every life possible," the mayor said. "We want to make sure that never in Kansas City do we just think this is something we will get used to. Because it is not." https://www.kctv5.com/news/local_news/kansas-city-mayor-introduces-gun-proposal-to-keep-firearms-away/article_ac42cbaa-fafa-11e9-b8b4-d7a6412b3a4f.html |
