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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
