if you lose a firearm as mentioned above I think people would report. If nothing else cya if some naughty person gets it. Guy I know sold a firearm and about a year later police showed at his door as it was used in a robbery.
Grey area I see is “clock ticking when you notice”. What if person doesn’t notice in time. May be a stretch but if a firearm that doesn’t see a lot of range/use goes missing someone may not realize in time

Very good point, I've been to the range with several toys at a time, I had a scare when I couldn't find one, but it was due to a bad memory, nothing was lost. I can see misplacing a bag or forgetting one and never noticing it.if you lose a firearm as mentioned above I think people would report. If nothing else cya if some naughty person gets it.

A response from my condescending senator. She's not against guns, she's just against guns!
Dear Mr. Name removed for Internet
Thank you for contacting me about our Nation’s laws and regulations governing firearms. I appreciate you taking the time to make me aware of your views on this important matter.
Our country is suffering from an epidemic of gun violence. I am outraged that because of the massacres in Monterey Park, Highland Park and Uvalde, more families will be forever haunted by the horrible knowledge of what happens when a round traveling at a velocity of more than 3,000 feet per second penetrates a loved one’s body, liquifying tissue and destroying vital organs. However, my anger is surpassed by my commitment and determination to rid our communities of semi-automatic rifles designed for military combat, and detachable large capacity magazines that enhance their killing efficiency.
As families once again confront unimaginable, unbearable, unfathomable grief; I am beyond angry. I am furious and fed up. I am heartbroken reflecting upon how a Lunar New Year celebration at a dance studio in Monterey Park, California turned into a nightmare filled with terror, grief and tragic loss. I am sick to my stomach thinking about 2-year old Aiden McCarthy, whose parents were among the seven people murdered at Highland Park's Fourth of July parade, and the parents in Uvalde, Texas, who sent their babies to school, never to see them again. Never to hear their beautiful laughter or witness their wonderful smiles. That is hell on earth that I would not wish on my worst enemy.
As the Senator representing Aiden, I refuse to let my colleagues ignore how a weapon of war forever changed this little boy’s life—and the lives of so many others. And as a mom raising school-aged children, I refuse to do nothing in the face of a deadly epidemic of gun violence that is now the leading cause of death for young Americans. That is why after decades of inaction, I am proud to have joined both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate to finally break the log jam and pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act by a vote of 65 to 33. Former President Joe Biden subsequently signed this bipartisan gun safety package into law to enhance background checks, provide funding to help States implement red flag laws and, ultimately, save lives.
As a combat Veteran who grew up in a family of marksmen, my focus is on ridding our streets of a rifle that Eugene Stoner literally designed to meet Army requirements for use in combat – along with large capacity magazines that are fueling the rising rate of mass shootings. I spent 23 years in the Army, and I recognize the ArmaLite Rifle 15 (AR-15) – and the semi-auto successors it spawned – for what they are: weapons of war. From their portability, accuracy, rapid rate of fire, ability to penetrate certain body armor and ease of reloading – both the military-issued M4 carbine and the civilian AR-15 are functionally similar and designed for combat. We may never stop every mass shooting. But that does not change a simple fact: after the assault weapons ban expired in 2004, mass shootings tripled.
That is why I proudly helped Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut introduce S. 726, Ethan’s Law as an original cosponsor this Congress. Our bill would create Federal requirements for safe gun storage and strong penalties for any violations. The bill honors the memory of Ethan Song, a Guilford teenager who was killed with an unsecured gun in early 2018. Ethan's Law would set Federal standards for safe gun storage, as well as give States incentives to create and implement safe gun storage laws. I also joined as a cosponsor of S. 3369, Gas Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act, introduced by Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico. The bill would regulate the sale, transfer and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic weapons.
As your Senator, I am fighting for commonsense gun safety initiatives that will better protect Illinois and communities across the country. Keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals requires completing rigorous background checks for every firearm purchase, enhancing licensing and registration requirements and improving the accuracy of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Please be assured that I will continue to advocate for commonsense solutions and gun safety laws that the vast majority of Americans strongly support to make our communities safer.
Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue. If you would like more information on my work in the Senate, please visit my website at www.duckworth.senate.gov. You can access my voting record and see what I am doing to address today’s most important issues. I hope that you will continue to share your views and opinions with me and let me know whenever I may be of assistance to you.
Sincerely,
Tammy Duckworth
United States Senator

Let me get this out of the way, I'm in no way advocating support for this law in any form. As most of us here would be quick to let law enforcement know asap if it did happen to us.if you lose a firearm as mentioned above I think people would report. If nothing else cya if some naughty person gets it. Guy I know sold a firearm and about a year later police showed at his door as it was used in a robbery.

The law as I understand is you have 72hrs AFTER you're aware it has gone missing. Hopefully that 72hrs is well before the law shows up at your door to make you aware it was used in a felony.
When I made private firearm sales I photocopied/photographed the buyers drivers license and FOID card. I also noted the make model and serial number WITH a picture of the serial number and firearm. I kept all that in the fireproof safe for 10yrs.

Yea same! I actually gave the guy crap because I would have thought to do what you did. Some detail record of the transaction so it doesn’t bite you in the bum
And heaven forbid we actually punish criminals-much easier to blame inanimate objects. How about locking up a felon caught with a firearm for, I dunno, 25 year? My grandson (deputy sheriff) and his partner in a northeastern state with a city of the same name, we’re call on an armed robbery. Arriving at the scene they went into foot pursuit of the perp, who then proceeded to fire at the officers (I SAW the camera footage from his camera). When the boy finally corners this clown and has him in his sites the perp yells “don’t shoot, don’t shoot” (this after 5 rounds were fired at theLEO’s). The boy orders him to drop the gun, which he does. Seems the perp was a convicted felon with multiple previous crimes. In this case he (10 was a felon with a firearm (2) had committed an armed robbery (30 fled from the LEO’s to avoid arrest and (4) opened fire on the pursuing police officers. Despite all this, when it went to court this clown was mouthing off to the judge at the trial. Judge got angry and gave him 60 days For Contempt of Court ( nothing at ALL for the crimes! (if the moron had acted respectful in court he’d have done NO time at all
). And then people wonder Why we have so much violent crime-There are NO consequences, That Is Why

Well Governor Flintstone and all your bought and paid for senators and judges, we are also tired of seeing children killed every night in your pet city Chicago.
But here is a thought when police do their jobs how about making district attorneys do their jobs and enforce truth in sentencing, I know that takes a little work on your part without placing blame on all the lawful gun owners all the time, but we know that will work so why don't you and your minions get it???

I actually "angry face" this, but.... yeah, I'd be pretty damned ticked off. That is so bizarre, just wrong.And heaven forbid we actually punish criminals-much easier to blame inanimate objects.

Unfortunately, I have been the victim of theft two times. Both, I was unaware that workmen would be in an area where firearms were stored..,a computer room and a garage. In both cases I did not realize they were missing. Both are reported to police. Maybe they will one day show up.
