"Requiring notification of lost and stolen firearms is the single most effective way to prevent those who are not legally allowed to own a gun from obtaining one," Levine said.But Lloyd, wait, if the gun has already been stolen, how does that prevent the person who took it from obtaining it?
It looks like Lloyd's prototype time travel field is only effective for 5 days, but I'm sure the staff of highly trained temporal technicians at the CA State Assembly will break through that paradox barrier soon--then maybe we can start requiring gun owners to report thefts before they happen!
Oh, and here's the kicker--you realize, of course, this only applies to "law abiding" gun owners. Criminals, who possess their guns "illegally", can't be compelled to report if their guns are lost or stolen, because that would violate their Fifth Amendment right against self- incrimination. That is, unless we can send Lloyd back to before the Bill of Rights was drafted to cause a few small time rift changes...maybe we could get him to strangle the infant James Madison in his crib...
