Address the Proliferation of Guns into the hands of Criminals, Children and the Mentally Ill

By John M. Morganelli

Candidate for Attorney General; State of Pennsylvania

This information is provided by the candidate
We need to do at least 2 things to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, children and the mentally ill. First, we should establish a Gun Trafficking Unit in the OAG. This unit would be dedicated to multi-county illegal gun trafficking which would work in conjunction with local police and district attorneys in targeted, high violence areas of Pennsylvania. Secondly, the AG must implement By Attorney General Regulation Mandatory Reporting of Stolen/Lost Firearms.This would eliminate "cover" for those who illegally sell guns to criminals, children and the mentally ill and then later claim their gun was stolen when it shows up in the commission of a crime.
