    | 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. |

                      | Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.  — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |  |  |
