Pittsburgh City Council gave its first approval today to legislation requiring that anyone report a lost or stolen firearm report that within 24 hours or potentially face a $500 fine.

Isn't that lovely....FINE THE VICTIM!

This garbage passed here in CT last year.

When I meet people who think this is good law I ask them, "if I stole your snow shovel in July, would you notice within 24hrs?"

I have yet to receive a reply.
