This week we asked readers their thoughts on a proposed gun offender registry that works the same way as a sex offender registry. Those convicted of using an illegal firearm would be required to register as a gun offender for four years, after completing their sentence.

Yes I do agree. Just as if it was a sex offender, they [gun offenders] should register as well. If you find a gun and return it to the precinct, you get a reward. I think that’s a scam because how did they just find a gun? Selena Valentin, Concourse

 

 

 

I think it would be a good thing for the community. It would give people a bit more insight on the dangers in the neighborhood and also dangerous people. Dee Cee Smith, Norwood

 

 

 

 

I think it would be a good idea, but think it would be hard to pull off. I think it would be fine if they actually enforced it. You don’t want just anyone carrying a gun and acting crazy with them. Shaquill Houston, University Heights

 

 

 

 

I think that’s a good thing that would get a lot of good feedback. I would like to know if you get arrested with a gun or caught doing any type of crime. I don’t want people like that around my grandkids that I love. It’s better to know. Diana Gomez, Norwood

 

 

 

I’d support it, yeah, why not? I don’t think it’s really going to help, but it may help. But what about the people who don’t get caught? And I know a lot of people don’t get caught. It’s always good to try something new. Anthony Williams, Kingsbridge
