If so, I think it would be easy to crowdsource the cash to cover them. The entire process would in turn help shine a light on this outrageous law.

$5,000 to save lives? Yes!

I think it’s a doable thing.

Mahalo, Cha!

It's not the fine that deters mayors, but rather the local laws were be defeated in courts easily.


790.33?Field of regulation of firearms and ammunition preempted.—
(1)?PREEMPTION.—Except as expressly provided by the State Constitution or general law, the Legislature hereby declares that it is occupying the whole field of regulation of firearms and ammunition, including the purchase, sale, transfer, taxation, manufacture, ownership, possession, storage, and transportation thereof, to the exclusion of all existing and future county, city, town, or municipal ordinances or any administrative regulations or rules adopted by local or state government relating thereto. Any such existing ordinances, rules, or regulations are hereby declared null and void.
(2)?POLICY AND INTENT.—
(a)?It is the intent of this section to provide uniform firearms laws in the state; to declare all ordinances and regulations null and void which have been enacted by any jurisdictions other than state and federal, which regulate firearms, ammunition, or components thereof; to prohibit the enactment of any future ordinances or regulations relating to firearms, ammunition, or components thereof unless specifically authorized by this section or general law; and to require local jurisdictions to enforce state firearms laws.
(b)?It is further the intent of this section to deter and prevent the violation of this section and the violation of rights protected under the constitution and laws of this state related to firearms, ammunition, or components thereof, by the abuse of official authority that occurs when enactments are passed in violation of state law or under color of local or state authority.

But, of course, when the locals do something Republicans don't like, then it's up to the next highest level that will do what Republicans like. Same thing happens when local school boards decide they don't want to make their students freely available to military recruiters. In that case, they threaten whatever federal dollars the school district might be getting. Tight budgets can make or break a district that loses its federal dollars.

As for a citywide firearm regulation, unless we're to return to the days of walled citadels, firearms would freely pass the urban boundary, making any regulation quite as ineffective as Chicago's regulations. Firearms manufacturers need only flood the surrounding area with guns, and they'd find their way into South Miami.
