Tell me again how the government controlling private sales of firearms is going to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals.

Few stolen guns ever recovered, study says.

Or maybe they get "laundered" through a "buyback" scheme, too ! >Jeff

Very simple - a STRONG law which requires that thieves submit to a background check before they steal a firearm.

Simply make the victim of the theft liable if the felon fails the check and continues with the theft.

Only small advance upon the proposed 'must report theft within 24 hours' requirement!


Surely politicians would see the 'common sense' in that proposal ...

It won't, but we all know that excuse is just the pretext for total disarmament of the citizenry.

All good statist thugs know that real criminals (especially the armed ones) are quite useful for keeping the law-abiding in compliance with the whims of the state.

This is about victim disarmament not about crime reduction. Never has been, never will be.

Miami-Dade police make no attempt whatsoever to re-unite recovered firearms with their legal owners. If they are not evidence in an ongoing criminal case they are dumped at sea in an undisclosed location. To the best of my knowledge they are the only category of recovered stolen property handled that way.
