Anyone with a new gun in Wilmington would have to register the weapon with the police department under a proposal introduced Thursday by a city councilman.
Councilman Norman M. Oliver said he sponsored the ordinance after reading a recent Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League study of the 182 shootings in the city from January 1999 to April 2002. No conclusions were drawn in the study, but Oliver said it made him think police need a better way to track firearms.
