“Just last year, when Kate Steinle was murdered in broad daylight at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, her murder drew national attention because it was committed by an undocumented immigrant. But what went relatively unnoticed was that the murder weapon had been stolen from a federal agent from the Bureau of Land Management. It is notoriously hard for law enforcement to find and confiscate stolen guns. We can make their jobs easier by outfitting guns with computer chips that can be activated remotely when a gun is reported stolen to help law enforcement recover it and return it to its lawful owner.” – Steve Westly in No grand bargain needed for safer guns [via usatoday.com]
