Registering guns would not have stopped this guy.
Licensing gun owners would not have stopped this guy.
Universal Background checks would not have stopped this guy.
What works...we have made it illegal for felons to own, carry or transport guns........this works...this guy can now be arrested and prosecuted.
And the magic of the law against felons owning and carrying guns......not one normal, law abiding gun owner has to be hassled and they don't have to be arrested for a clerical error......
Current gun laws do everything we need to stop criminals with guns....
What's This? Convicted Felon Found With Guns, Drugs and Cash?! Nooo!
According to officials, a police officer was at the corner of Main Street and Park Street, just before 8:30 p.m., when a car crash happened just within sight. Two men got out of their Honda Accord involved in the crash and started running away, police said. The officer saw them and began chasing the driver on foot.
More Hartford police officers responded and after a brief struggle, police say they took the driver into custody near South Green Park. While investigating the crash scene, police found a gun on the back seat and several more in an open backpack in the car.
Investigators recovered eight guns and ammunition, along with more than 60 grams of crack cocaine, nearly 30 grams of marijuana, 100 bags of heroin stamped “Fatboy” and more than $3,800. According to police, the car had also been reported stolen.
