"And as for having five days to report a stolen gun, he says, “So now you have to check your safe every five days to make sure it’s not been broken into, and make the inventory of guns is still correct? It’s ridiculous.” d7 #2
I deduce d7 #2 interprets these words not on literal meaning, but on basis of some deeply ingrained emotional aversion.
I haven't read the text of the law.
But I give the COP benefit of doubt. If the law says gun owners are REQUIRED to report gun theft within 5 days, and failure to do so is a crime, and a gun owner doesn't notice the gun theft until after the deadline, that law makes that otherwise law abiding citizen a criminal.
Dislike it all you like.
IF that's the meaning of the law, the COP is right.
BUT !!
In practical terms, I would hope most gun owners secure their weapons in such way that their theft would be swiftly detected.
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18
