NY SAFE Act Proponent Accidentally Tells the Truth

[Nuclear Unicorn]

Apparently registration laws are going over as well in NY as they are in CT. It's the usual story but then there's this accidental telling of the truth --

The purpose of registration, she explained, is to assist police by providing them with a record of the weapon.

“Gun owners are required to report the theft of guns to the police,” Barrett said. “If an assault weapon that has been registered ends up in the wrong hands and is used in a crime, the police will know who is legally responsible – the gun owner.”

Holding people legally culpable for something that was stolen from them? The mind reels. I hope somebody steals her car and uses it in a bank robbery.

1. or any number of things

how about an accident, DUI. I would hope she takes responsibility for any criminal act from her stolen property.


And the other side can not understand why gun owners fail to trust them?

4. "who would know if your property was stolen how it will be used."

What if a handsome guy steals my heart?

5. That could be awkward if he is not your husband.

6. Intellectual property and copyright establish ownership

If a software program is bootlegged (stolen) and used to produce a computer virus, is the original owner legally responsible?
