Gun Regulations That Could Have Made a Difference
Posted at 9 a.m. on Jan. 22
Ramesh Ponnuru advocates for a number of gun regulations that “might have made a difference at Sandy Hook or Columbine or Virginia Tech.”
“One is a new reporting requirement: If you have ‘knowledge of a grave and imminent threat of serious physical harm’ that someone else has made, and ‘reasonable cause to believe’ that person has access to a gun or bomb, you would have a legal requirement to inform a law-enforcement agency.”
“A second proposed statute would establish a standard for securing firearms. Someone who has ‘reasonable cause to believe’ that he has made a gun accessible to a person who is mentally ill and considered dangerous, or otherwise poses a grave and imminent danger to others, would be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
