Mayors in Pennsylvania are leading a city-by-city and town-by-town effort to pass and enforce common sense lost and stolen gun reporting laws. Responding to inaction from the state legislature, the cities are requiring lost and stolen gun reporting, which removes one of the excuses often used by gun traffickers who cannot account for guns they have sold illegally.
Since 2005, 13 law enforcement officers have been shot and killed in Pennsylvania in the line of duty. More than half of the guns used in those murders were stolen.
In a new Mayors Against Illegal Guns video, mayors of some of the Pennsylvania cities and towns with new lost and stolen explain why lost and stolen reporting laws are a critical public safety measure.
