How about a law making it illegal for a felon to possess a weapon, stolen or otherwise.
I believe that already exists.
It works about as well as Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No."
The ATF found that 54% of traced crime guns were recovered by law enforcement more than three years after their purchase. Those guns were legally purchased, but were later used in crimes, the report indicated.
"Crime guns may change hands a number of times after that first retail sale, and some of those transactions may be a theft or violate one or more regulations on firearm commerce," the ATF's report reflected.
Gun theft should be substantially reduced if safe storage laws were enacted. Of course, that's assuming most gun owners are law-abiding.
