Allentown City Council passed legislation Wednesday requiring residents to report lost or stolen guns, joining Philadelphia to become the second city in the state to pass such a law.Just like Philadelphia, they're assuming an authority state law does not allow.
And just like Philadelphia, this nonsense won't stop one act of criminal violence.
When they come to take inventory and check on your safe storage compliance, if one of these guns is unaccounted-for, they'll ask where it is. If you don't have a good explanation, BAM, you're a straw purchaser and gunrunner. It's not really about keeping criminals from having them, but the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteI GUESS they want us to file a false report of a stolen gun, to be prepared for the time we have to pass some of ours on to our less-prepared friends and relatives. Gonna be criminals one way or the other.
