1 CITY OF ENCINITAS CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: January 30, 2013 TO: City Council VIA: FROM: Teresa Arballo Barth, Mayor SUBJECT: Resolution to support federal legislation banning assault weapons and authorize Mayor Barth to join the national organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns. BACKGROUND: The 103 rd Congress of the United States approved the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that included the ban of sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of certain military-style firearms and certain detachable ammunition magazines for civilian use. The law expired in 2004 and Congress did not extend the ban. In light of recent mass murders involving military-style firearms, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein plans to re-introduce the assault weapon portion of this legislation during the 113 th Congress which is currently in session. On December 18, 2012 the City of Lemon Grove adopted a resolution supporting the reinstatement of this federal ban. On April 25, 2006, an initial group of 15 mayors, hosted by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg meet to discuss strategies to stop the flow of illegal guns into America s cities. The mayors drafted and signed a Statement of Principles (Attachment 3). The coalition s bipartisan ranks have grown to more than 725 mayors from more than 40 states. The Statement of Principles has been endorsed by the US Conference of Mayors and the National Conference of Black Mayors. Forty-one California Mayors, including Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox have joined the coalition. Additional information can be found at ANALYSIS: The thrust of Senator Feinstein s proposed legislation is not on firearms in general but on assault weapons, as shown on Attachment 1. Assault weapons are made for offensive purposes in close combat situations, such as in military operations. The bill will ban 120 specifically-named firearms 01/30/2013 Item #04 Page 1
2 that fall into this category, but also lists characteristics for the cases where manufacturers try to work around the ban. Weapons used in recent high-profile mass murders enabled assailants to discharge high numbers of bullets in short timeframes. High-capacity ammunition clips give standard semi-automatic handguns this functionality. Assailant Jared Loughner in the 2011 Tucson attack had a handgun with a 30-round clip, murdering 6 and wounding 13. Due to their size, semi-automatic rifles can hold even larger ammunition clips as well as drums. Assailant James Holmes used a semiautomatic rifle with a 100-round drum during his 2012 attack in Colorado during which 12 were murdered and 58 wounded. Hunting weapons and civilian self-defense weapons do not need these characteristics, and are not banned by this proposed legislation. This legislation will specifically exempt over 900 weapons used for hunting, sporting or self-defense. Mayors Against Illegal Guns recognize that their primary responsibility is public safety. The coalition is dedicated to making America s cities safer by cracking down on illegal guns and irresponsible gun dealers by supporting local, state and federal legislation to address these issues. FISCAL AND STAFF IMPACTS: None. The City does not have any licensed firearm dealers. There is no cost to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns. RECOMMENDATION: City Council adopts the resolution to support federal legislation banning assault weapons and authorize Mayor Barth to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

6 STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES Whereas: 30,000 Americans across the country are killed every year as a result of gun violence, destroying families and communities in big cities and small towns; and Whereas: As Mayors, we are duty-bound to do everything in our power to protect our residents, especially our children, from harm and there is no greater threat to public safety than the threat of illegal guns; Now, therefore, we resolve to work together to find innovative new ways to advance the following principles: o Punish to the maximum extent of the law criminals who possess, use, and traffic in illegal guns. o Target and hold accountable irresponsible gun dealers who break the law by knowingly selling guns to straw purchasers. o Oppose all federal efforts to restrict cities right to access, use, and share trace data that is so essential to effective enforcement, or to interfere with the ability of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to combat illegal gun trafficking. o Keep lethal, military-style weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines off our streets. o Work to develop and use technologies that aid in the detection and tracing of illegal guns. o Support all local, state, and federal legislation that targets illegal guns; coordinate legislative, enforcement, and litigation strategies; and share information and best practices. o Invite other cities to join us in this new national effort.
