Letter: All Gun Owners Should Have to Register Their Firearms

[Editor's Note: Albany Patch would love your 300-word letters to the editor. .]

I applaud the  to the effort to make home gun sales more accessible . I make no secret... I hate guns, and would like to see them out of my community.

Since I can't expect that, I would propose that all gun owners in the city have to register their firearms with the city police department so that, in the event that they are burglarized, weapons can be traced to the criminals who would steal them to use them in the commission of a crime (which happens all the time).  

Any second amendment nuts who think this is an infringement on their rights, well... you have a 19th century idea of what a civilized society is.

Rights come with responsibilities. Live with one, or give up the other.
