Commish Wants Gun Inspections
? Make It Yearly, Howard Safir Says
? Firearms Would Be Checked For Safety
? NYPD Measure Aimed At Gun Running

NEW YORK
Friday, March 10, 2000 - 01:26 PM ET

(WCBS) You get your car inspected once a year, and now
the New York City police commissioner is proposing that
your gun be brought in for an annual checkup too, as
Newsradio 88's Rich Lamb reports.

Special inspection stations would be set up under Howard
Safir's measure.

"Just about 100 percent of the guns that are used by
criminals come from the legal market," Safir said. "So they
are diverted from people who buy them legally to criminals."

Unless physically presented for inspection, owners would be
sent to prison or fined, Safir said. "If you were required to
bring in your guns in once a year for a safety inspection and
you did not, you would have to account for what happened to
your gun," he said.

Safir said the plan is aimed at preventing the river of guns
purchased legally in bulk in Southern states.

Huh? "aimed at preventing the river of guns coming from the southern states". Registered guns in NYC must have been purchased through a local FFL. How are yearly checkups going to stop the flow of guns from the south when the guns coming from the south are brought here illegally? The guns they will be checking will have been purchased legally from within the state, not from the south!

Doh! Another example of northeastern liberal logic!

Ahm see:
Not only must you give up your 2nd amendment rights, but give up your right to see a warrant to seach your property and give up your right against self incrimination , etc. etc.
Isn't it a lovely thought that we are being protected by such men on the N.Y. police commision.
If I wanted to live in a fascist country, I'd move to one. I suggest the same to Mr. Howard Safir.
