RALEIGH, N.C. — Three North Carolina lawmakers introduced legislation that would hold gunowners accountable for shooting-related crimes committed that were lost by or stolen from them.
According to filings by the North Carolina State Senate, NC Senators Val Applewhite (D-Cumberland), Woodson Bradley (D-Mecklenburg) and Caleb Theodros (D-Mecklenburg) introduced S.B. 161, which, if passed, would be known as the Jenesis Firearm Accountability Act.
“This is not just about accountability, it’s also a safety,” Applewhite said. “It’s not a complicated goal, we just want more people to live like Jenesis.”
