In a ostensible effort to reduce the volume of stolen firearms used in crimes, senate members in the constitution State voted 24-11 to adopt a law the make it a crime for lawful gun owners in the state to fail to report the loss or theft of a gun within 72 hours of the event. A first time offender would be subject to a fine of $90.00 , but a repeat offender could spend as much time as 10 years in prison.
Now that makes lot of sense doesn't it ? Here you are a victim of a robbery and suddenly you could become the criminal for not reporting it. A Majority leader Martin Looney who is a big proponent of bill introduced it this year…… I personally think the bill should be named after the Senator……. LOONEY. Not to be outdone I see New Jersey is thinking of doing the same. Where do they find these guys ? My daddy always said " Politicians are like bananas. They come in bunches…… first they are green…… then they turn yellow and the next thing you know they are rotten." He didn't miss it too far.
