Politicans pushing for public gun crime database

They can gun, but they can’t hide.

A registry of criminals convicted of gun felonies would be publicly accessible for the first time under legislation being proposed by a group of elected officials.

City Council members Costa Constantinides and Paul Vallone, along with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., are calling for the database created in 2006 — currently available only to law enforcement — to be searchable online.

Under the proposal, members of the public could even set up alerts to learn when a gun offender moves into their neighborhood.

“I think the public has a right to know who these individuals are and what crime they’ve committed,” lead sponsor Constantinides (D-Astoria) told The Post.
