"Police to inspect gun owner's homes," Washington

Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around?  One of the major gun-control efforts in Washington this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners.

They always say, "We’ll never go house to house to take your guns away."  But then you see this, and you have to wonder.

Responding to the Newtown school massacre, the bill would ban the sale of semi-automatic weapons that use detachable ammunition magazines and those that contain more than 10 rounds would be illegal.

But then, with respect to the thousands of weapons already owned by Washington residents, the bill states:  “In order to continue to possess an assault weapon that was legally possessed on the effective date of this section, the person possessing shall safely and securely store the assault weapon. The sheriff of the county may, no more than once per year, conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with this subsection.”

Mexican lawmakers will ask the U.S. Senate to create a registry of all commercialized firearms in border states, which includes California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Mexico says it will make it easier to trace guns used in violent attacks.

The measure was reportedly approved on January 9 by Mexico’s Permanent Commission, a government entity that meets when Mexico’s Senate and the Chamber of Deputies is in recess. Gun owners in Arizona are calling the proposal “foolish” and an “invasion of privacy.”
