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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
