My assessment of this bill is, that it is intended to cause the gun owners grief when ever a weapon is stolen, used in a crime and recovered. It does nothing to help apprehend the thief. It does nothing to help catch the perpetrator of the crime. It does ease the burden of law enforcement to find someone to punish, the registered owner of the weapon. The liberals can feel good in two ways then;
Come down hard on a gun owner, is good for the cause.
No need to make life more difficult for some poor drug addict thief/ criminal, hounding him to the ends of the earth. Getting a fucking gun owner is good enough.
After all if we get rid of Guns the mission is accomplished. It does nothing for the cause to chase down poor unfortunate souls just doing what they must to get by.
