Letters of Transmittal RESOLUTION NO. 2013-28124 A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO BAN THE SALE AND POSSESSION OF, SEMI- AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HIGH CAPACITY AMMUNITION DEVICES AND MAGAZINES AND TO CLOSE THE "GUN SHOW' LOOPHOLE" NATIONWIDE; URGING THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO ACT STATEWIDE TO REQUIRE PRIVATE SALES OF FIREARMS TO INCLUDE A MANDATORY BACKGROUND CHECK OF A PURCHASER OF A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE FIREARM VENDOR IS LICENSED OR NON-LICENSED PURSUANT TO FEDERAL OR STATE LAW; AND GIVING DIRECTION TO THE CITY MANAGER WITH REGARD TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF GUN LAWS WITHIN THE CITY. WHEREAS, gun violence is a pervasive, national problem that is exacerbated by the availability of semi-automatic assault weapons at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events; and WHEREAS, the drafters of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution never envisioned automatic or semi-automatic weapons when the right to bear arms was first conceived; and WHEREAS, one of the principal goals of the United States Constitution, as set forth in its preamble, is "to insure domestic Tranquility"; and WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has long upheld prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession that are consistent with the Second Amendment, notwithstanding the fact that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected to service in a militia; and WHEREAS, the proliferation of automatic and semi-automatic weapons, as well as high capacity ammunition devices and magazines, presents a growing problem to law enforcement and to this nation's domestic tranquility; and WHEREAS, due to the detrimental and unnecessary presence of military assault weapons in our day-to-day society, the United States Congress is urged to ban the sale and possession of semi-automatic assault weapons, as well as high capacity ammunition devices and magazines; and WHEREAS, approximately 33 states have no requirement that private sales of firearms by a vendor without a federal firearm license (a "non-licensed vendor") include any kind of background check of the purchaser, and such sales occur regularly at gun shows, flea markets, and other events throughout the country, including in the State of Florida; and WHEREAS, Florida has no uniform requirement for background checks when firearms are purchased at gun shows or any other private sale where the vendor is a non-licensed vendor of firearms; and WHEREAS, over 5,000 gun shows are held annually across the United States, attracting thousands of attendees per show and hundreds of Federal firearms licensees and non-licensed vendors; and WHEREAS, gun shows, as well as flea markets and other organized events at which a large number of firearms are offered for sale by federal firearms licensees and non-licensed vendors, form a significant part of the national firearms market; and WHEREAS, at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events at which guns are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange, criminals and others prohibited from owning firearms obtain guns without background checks and frequently use guns, whose ownership cannot be traced, to later commit crimes; and WHEREAS, since the enactment of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Public Law 103-59; 107 Stat. 1536) in 1993, over 100,000,000 background checks have been performed by federal firearms licensees, denying guns to more than 1,600,000 illegal buyers, and WHEREAS, non-licensed vendors at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events are not required to perform background checks, thereby allowing potentially prohibited persons to avoid background checks in order to purchase firearms; and WHEREAS, the United States Congress has the power, under the Interstate Commerce Clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United States, to require background checks to ensure that criminals and other prohibited persons do not obtain firearms at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events in order to close the "Gun Show Loophole"; and WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature has the authority to require, by statute, that any non- licensed vendors be required to conduct the same background check of the purchaser as currently required for licensed vendors; and WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature is also urged to pass legislation closing the "Gun Show Loophole" by requiring background checks for purchasers of firearms regardless of whether the seller is a licensed or non-licensed vendor of firearms; and WHEREAS, the City Clerk is directed to transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to the members of the Miami-Dade County Congressional Delegation, Governor Rick Scott, the Florida Senate President, the Florida House Speaker, the Chair and Members of the Miami- Dade State Legislative Delegation, and to the United States Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as well as to the City of Miami Beach's lobbyists in Washington, D.C.; and WHEREAS, in order to address concerns relative to illegal weapons within the City of Miami Beach, the City Manager, working closely with the Chief of Police and other relevant City Departments, shall take active steps to ensure that visitors coming to Miami Beach on major event periods do not bring illegal guns into the City. Furthermore, the City Manager shall work closely with the State Attorney's Office for South Florida to prosecute gun owners deemed prosecutable by the Miami Beach Chief of Police and shall publish records showing the number of arrests made for carrying illegal weapons'in the City and the final legal disposition of each case. I NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the United States Congress is hereby urged to ban the sale and possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and high capacity ammunition devices and magazines, and to pass legislation closing the "Gun Show Loophole" nationwide; that the Florida Legislature is hereby urged to pass statewide legislation requiring background checks for purchasers of firearms at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events, regardless of whether the seller is b licensed or non-licensed vendor of firearms; and direction is hereby given to the City Manager with regard to the enforcement of gun laws within the City as set forth herein.
