Baltimore will have a new Gun Offender registry starting in a few months. Another stupid law that will do little, if anything to reduce crime in Baltimore, but makes Mayor Dixon looks like she is doing things.

Baltimore has become the second city in the nation to establish a gun offender registry. It requires convicted gun offenders to register their address and report to police.
The goal is to make city streets safer. The streets of Baltimore have been riddled with gun violence, lives taken by gun-toting criminals. But with the signing of the bill that establishes a registry for gun offenders, Mayor Sheila Dixon and police are fighting back. Dixon says, "I want to make Baltimore the toughest place in the city on gun crimes."
Acting Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld says, "We will put more bad guys in jail and affect the violent crime rate in the city."
Officials say the registry is a proactive approach to keeping track of gun offenders. City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake says, "It sends a strong message to those who want to terrorize the streets with illegal weapons... If you commit a crime with a gun in Baltimore, we will find you."
The gun offender registry will take effect in 3 months and be accessible to the public. It will require all convicted gun offenders in the city to register their information with police. Upon conviction, an offender will have to register their name, address, and photograph with police, and report to authorities every 6 months for 3 years. Failure to do so will lead to a fine or jail time.
The gun registry will be accessible to the public much like the sex offender registry so you can know if a gun offender lives near you.

I'll just add what a moron Dixon is! Baltimore IS the CITY you idiot! I guess she meant toughest place in the state, or nation. Remember she was not elected to the office, but assumed the Mayor's position when the former mayor became the Governor.

Not sure how a registry is going to reduce violent crime or put more bad guys in jail
