GUNSENSE in Pennsylvania: report lost or stolen guns within 72 hours
from an Op-Ed by Rep. Madeleine Dean:
"After Plymouth Township Police Officer Brad Fox was killed in the line of duty by a gun acquired through a straw purchase, Pennsylvania enacted a mandatory minimum sentencing law to discourage straw purchasers.
This session I will reintroduce my legislation to work with the Brad Fox law and block or curb the buying of guns for felons.
My legislation would require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 72 hours of learning of the loss.
Lost and stolen legislation has received bipartisan support - earning the recommendation of the Joint State Government Commission on Violence Prevention in Pennsylvania. "
Mission: Promoting common sense policies that assure public safety and reduce gun violence in our communities.
