(WASHINGTON TIMES) Beloit, Wisconsin, Police Chief Norm Jacobs said residents ought to let law enforcement search their homes for guns, and he’s billing his proposal as a way to keep children safe.
“Maybe we’ll find a toy gun that’s been altered by a youngster in the house — and we know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion,” he said, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.
Mr. Jacobs said he doesn’t expect his proposal will lead to scores of invitations into residents’ homes, WPR.org reported. But he’s standing by his home inspection plan as a surefire means of decreasing gun-related violence.
