LA trying to turn crime victims into criminals

In this article, we see that Los Angeles has passed a law that makes it a crime for a victim of a gun theft to not report the theft to the police within 48 hours. Stellar idea, isn't it? Incredibly, they actually made the law retroactive--requiring owners to report any gun stolen within the last 5 years.

Unbelievable--placing responsibility on the shoulders of crime victims.

Here's an idea, LA--how about concentrating on actually arresting criminals, instead of crime victims, who (for whatever reason) choose not to report their victimization.
