If New Orleans City Councilman James Gray has his way, an ordinance he plans to introduce in March will help police to get a handle on gun violence in the city by requiring private gun owners to report lost or stolen guns to the NOPD.
While federal law already requires licensed gun dealers to report lost or stolen firearms, there is currently no such requirement in place for private gun owners. |

And just exactly how will this affect crime?
Even with a database of every firearm in existence and who owns it, how do you solve a crime by knowing someone who legally owned it and had it stolen prevent a crime.
As usual, a stolen gun is only trackable after the crime when the criminal is caught. Since he or she stole the gun, how does knowing who the original lawful owner was have ANY impact on the crime. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
