Under the gun


A gun rights group is targeting two House Democrats over a bill.

Grass Roots North Carolina is airing radio ads attacking Rep. Rep. Larry Hall of Durham and Rep. Rep. Annie Mobley of Ahoskie for sponsoring a bill on stolen guns.

The bill would make it a misdemeanor to fail to notify police within 48 hours after they "knew or reasonably should have known" of the theft.

Paul Valone, president of the advocacy group, said that the bill is "entirely wrongheaded."

"They should be going after the people who steal guns, not the victims of property crime," he said.

The ads, which can be heard here and here, are airing on sports radio in Durham and conservative talk radio in Elizabeth City.
