“to see why they didn’t volunteer”
Then it wasn’t VOLUNTARY!
Let me ask the cops something. Do they think the GUILTY person is going to take his/her gun down to the station?
Actually, all the police have to do at this stage is watch the remaining .40 owners that didn’t “volunteer”
I sure wouldn’t want to be under surveyance just cause I did’t volunteer. I still want to know how the ownership information was collected.
However, they still have to prove the guilty, guilty, so you don't have to cooperate. Helping the police can only work against you. On the other hand, you want the guilty to be punished.
I am very conflicted about whether or not I would cooperate with this. On the other hand, if they started pressuring me to do so, I would dig in the old heels.
Never underestimate the stupidity of criminals. See my last post.
