Alphecca Declares War on Common Sense
Alphecca takes a Philadelphia op/ed to task for favoring two relatively minor commonsense initiatives:
They want the Legislature to pass a law that requires gun owners to report a lost or stolen handgun, and pass the one-gun-per- month plan.
Jeff Soyer’s comments are fairly mundane and juvenile. But his commenters are just…well…clueless. There are the usual exhortations to toss criminals in prison and throw away the key. But what takes the cake are those commenters opposed to making it crime not to report stolen firearms.
Why on earth would anyone not report a stolen firearm? Especially when we know a common straw purchaser tactic is to claim a weapon was stolen sometime in the distant past–after a crime or crimes have been committed.
When you hear about gunloons claiming to be “law-abiding”—it’s a sham.
