I believe technically that is the case. I believe that current law is something to the fact, that if your firearm is stolen, you must report within 24 hours. Maybe it was something I had heard, but that would be #1 in my book of to do things, if anyone of my firearms were to come up missing. I agree that gun owners take full responsibility for owning them. Now if it were stolen by someone who is not by law, able to own/purchase a firearm, and the owner was not aware, then that person shouldn't be responsible. Now if the owner did have knowledge, and did nothing, they are wrong. Most gun laws are in place to keep firearms from criminals/felons, but it's almost impossible to track all those selling/giving firearms to those criminals. It's like drugs, no matter what the law, they'll never go away. And I'm a firm believer of fighting fire with fire.
