I posted this on VernalNews.com - a local news website that I started with some help:
http://www.vernalnews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=37&mode=&order=0&thold=0
Here is the meat of the issue:
http://www.vernalcity.org/mcode/title09/08.shtml#050
Section 9.08.050 Sale of firearms to be recorded--Purchaser to register weapon.
Even if it's unconstitutional to do so by the Federal Government, Vernal City requires you to REGISTER YOUR GUNS.
So if you have purchased a gun in Vernal, looks like your on the "To Do" list.
I'm going to have to look into this... it doesn't look good. Especially this part:
You have to register your purchase with the city so the Police can cross check records to know just who to go pay a visit to.
Nice.

All records or register of sales shall be open at all times to the inspection of the Chief of Police or his representative, and it shall be the duty of any person making such sale, loan or delivery of such article or thing to deliver to the Chief of Police or his representative a copy of the register required to be kept, showing the transaction with regard to such articles. Any purchaser of a pistol, revolver, gun or similar weapon must register the same with the Police Department. (The registration by the purchaser will be fulfilled if the weapon is sold or given away by a firm or business and the registration slip is filled out completely.)
You have to register your purchase with the city so the Police can cross check records to know just who to go pay a visit to.
Nice.
