Is your gun missing?
Here we go again with the people on York city council trying to regulate things that the have no authority to do so. In my Friday morning paper I came across a story about how city council wants to try to pass a law requiring people to report lost or missing firearms within 72 hours. Forget the fact that in the state of Pennsylvania local governments are prohibited from regulating firearms. But even if they had the power to do what they are proposing which they don't. Maybe they could explain to me how they are going to prove when a firearm was lost or missing from someone. All a person has to do is deny any knowledge of the weapon being missing and they have no case.
I really doubt that people not reporting missing firearms in the city of York is a real problem. Only a fool wouldn't report a missing gun to the police and if they were that foolish they shouldn't be in possession of one in the first place. The mayor and the city council should stop trying to pass worthless laws and concentrate on cleaning this city up so people will want to live here.
I have to say that I'm very happy that Brenner decided to leave office when his term is up. Maybe we'll be luckey and get a mayor that recognizes the things he has the authority to do and concentrates on those and leaves the rest to the State and Federal governments.

Another nonsense gun law. I guess we need to make sure every night our guns are still were I put them. Brenner, do you want to know how to stop the gun violence in the city? "Profile" the worthless pieces of crap that are responsible, keep a closer eye on the illegals, the "African Americans, the mexicans, the gangsters, you know, the ones responsible. Don't make the law abiding citizen criminals. And no, I am not a racist. There are many black folks, mexican folks, spanish people that are very good citizens. But quit being afraid of being called racist when you target a certain group that are known to be the problem. White folks too.
