WAPO: Police Officer’s Shooting Spree Shows Need for National Gun Registry
breitbart.com ^ | 5/13/2016 | AWR Hawkins

On May 12, The Washington Post’s editorial board contended that the shooting spree carried out by federal police officer Eulalio Tordil on May 5 and 6 highlights the need for a national gun registry.

Ironically, the WaPo points to Maryland as one of the few states that already has a registry in place. Yet Tordil allegedly carried out his heinous attacks in Maryland. He is alleged to have shot and killed his estranged wife in Prince George County on May 5, then shot and killed a random male and female in Montgomery County on May 6.

Well heck yeah. It's a "commonsense safety" issue right? So all you bad guys better just face the fact that you're gonna have to register those stolen firearms cause if you don't you'll be breaking the la.................. Oh. Never mind. Once again, only law abiding citizens will be affected by this infringement.

VOTE 'NO ON 1' IN NEVADA IN NOVEMBER!

They already knew this LEO had access to guns. How did this knowledge eliminate or mitigate this event?

A national gun registry would have prevented this? Not in the real world.

It would work just as well as auto registration prevents drunk driving.

Two of the seven guns Tordil surrendered were registered in Maryland ... Maryland law requires residents to register handguns and assault weapons in the state within 90 days of purchase or moving to the state. It was not clear whether or not Tordil was in compliance with the law.

The Washington Post should have released the audio tape from 1991 where Eulalio Tordil threatens to shoot people in 2016. /s

When Hitler first came to power he created a gun registry then followed up by gun confiscation

There are more guns in this country than illegals, yet liberals insist it would be impossible to identify every single illegal. Weird how they think it would work with guns.

Libs and Dems been pushing gun registration since 1962 as the cure for all crime problems.

First just handguns. Rifles and shotguns will not be affected.
Then all guns.
Now demands on handgun bans and registration of long guns.
Now bans on “military” style rifles and shotguns.

Never trust a Dem or Lib.

The 1968 Gun Control Law was based on the Nazi Weapons Act of 1938. Thomas J Dodd, who wrote the law had a personal copy of the Nazi law.

This shooting spree shows a need for a national gun registry of all police privately owned firearms.

Only cops and military should have access to firearms.

Definition of the oppressed.

There is a reason we are and will remain armed. Think about it.

Of any group who would be in a position to give themselves legal access to any firearm of their choosing, federal law enforcement is at the top of the list, just below the military. Had every firearm in the US been in a “registry”, this murderer would have still done his evil deed.
