Basically, he's doing everything in his power to ban guns in the city without actually banning them. Just take away all the places we can have them and tighten the noose. This is just one of his tools. Take a look at item 5. Those so-called policies that he's implementing are what I'm referring to. In typical gun-control prose, he wants to make it safer for our youth. It's all about the youth, right? The illusion of safety. 
Our current state law permits cities to ban guns in public parks or other recreation areas - a broad term. There's pending legislation regarding it, though, and hopefully that will change the culture around this city (and the state) very soon.

This was attempted a few years back in the Phoenix area and was repealed, someone just needs to do their legal homework.......
