Plenty of talk and mixed results following an hours-long gun debate in Omaha.

The City Council looking to ban some guns, bans that brought out shots for and against.

On the heels of a new state law making it easier to carry a concealed gun, Omaha is fighting back.

Already prohibiting weapons from city parks and offices, now looking to ban bump stocks a gadget that turns a semi-automatic weapon into a machine gun and ghost guns, like these, firearms without serial numbers, difficult if not impossible to trace.

Made possible with an easily accessible kit which finds police, like Omaha Sgt. Lance Worley, worried bad guys will get their hands on even more weapons.

Sgt. Lance Worley, OPD: “Due to a felony record of other prohibitive factors, they shouldn’t be in possession of a firearm.”

And now the public is weighing in.

Patricia Harrold, NE Firearms Assn: “We’re wondering why we’re vilifying the gun owner and not vilifying the criminal.”

Dr. Erin Feichtinger, Women’s Fund of Omaha: “The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide by 500 percent.”

In 2019 Omaha Police Confiscated 2 ghost guns, so far this year 57. A growing number but 3-4 percent of the total guns grabbed.

Joe Jordan, NCN: Is that feel good legislation?”

Councilman Pete Festersen, President (D): “No I think it’s an emerging issue of concern, not only for public safety but the safety of our officers.”

Police Chief Todd Schmaderer, Omaha: “In September of last year two ghost guns were recovered in the homicide investigation of a 20-year-old who was shot and killed. One of the ghost guns was determined to be the murder weapon.”

Festersen: “I think we all support the 2nd Amendment, I know I do. But I think it’s important to take some commonsense measures to address public safety.”

Councilmember Aimee Melton, Omaha (R): “I just don’t think we’re going to reduce the number of ghost guns we’re finding because the real problem and the real solution needs to be done by the federal government.”

In the end a bit of a split decision. The council narrowly voting to ban ghost guns, while putting bump stocks on hold for two weeks, with some talk of court fights to come.
