L 14.2 - Lincoln Gun Control Repeal Act of 2018 (Passed)

[Sestak]

I suggest that you all repeal Section 4 since it creates unnecessary burden and invades the privacy of students.

At least read the section before advocating repealing it.

Section 4: Public School Security

i. All visitors as defined as a non-current student or faculty to a public school in Lincoln is must have any bags searched by a staff member situated at the front door before they are allowed to enter the School.

So if Rod screams at his brother Todd "I hate you and Im going to kill you!!!" But Todd doesn't report the threat, has a crime been committed under this law if 45 days later Rod buys a hunting rifle to gift to Todd as an Im sorry present? have either Rod, Todd, or the gundealer who performed a background check committed a crime?

That is problematic. How would you suggest fixing it? Removing "specific citizen," and adding "public" before "specific threat"?

I don't think that really does a lot - this situation can still occur in public, and serious threats can still (and may be more likely to) occur in private.
