It’s scapegoating going on again. Usually in places that see problems with a lot of criminal shootings, those guns aren’t being used by honest owners to do that. So targeting the honest is counterproductive!

Counterproductive??? Not if you’re after easy revenue and bust stats. Plus, the cops run near zero chance of getting injured in those encounters...

It is also regarded as safer than targeting the criminals and easier and it allows the police to say they are Doing Something.
