Editor calls for sex offender-style registry for gun owners

A Baltimore Sun deputy editor is so worried about the presence of legal firearms in her Maryland neighborhood, that she wants the federal government create a sex offender-type registry for all lawful gun owners.

“[H]ow about … a gun owner registry available to the public online — something like those for sex offenders. I’m not equating gun owners with predatory perverts, but the model is helpful here; I want a searchable database I can consult to find out whether my kid can have a play date at your house,” the Sun’s Tricia Bishop wrote Thursday.
