    | A state bill introduced Monday would require California law enforcement agencies to keep track of their guns and establish a reporting procedure for when police lose them.  State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said he introduced the legislation in response to investigations published this year by the Orange County Register and Bay Area News Group revealing that many law enforcement agencies make little or no effort to inventory their weapons and that officers frequently lose their firearms – some of which end up on the street.

    | What may be happening here is that most quality self defense handguns are only available to law enforcement in the land of serfs.  So my guess is that some of these 'lost' weapons get long term loaned to relatives who need them, likely more than the few that end up 'on the street.' |

    | Few quality handguns are approved for sale in the dystopia state, unless you are law enforcement.  My guess is that law enforcement relatives in need of defensive weapons, get long term loans, such as gen 4 glocks, or many of the M&Ps unavailable to serfs of that state. |

                      | To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country.  — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |  |  |
