Are there other cases where being the victim of a crime is penalized? Also, what is to stop anyone from having a "boat accident," reporting their guns lost and just keeping them?

Plants at least have to report when they're carrying 400 lb amount of ammonium nitrate, so I'd start looking there? I guess part of the issue is that private citizens don't tend to have the ability to buy and then lose things that can kill a bunch of people. edit: Reporting Theft or Loss of Ammonium Nitrate: Certain ammonium nitrate sellers must report the theft or loss of ammonium nitrate to Federal authorities within one calendar day of discovery of theft or loss. See 6 U.S.C. 488d. Not sure if it's actually in effect? But it's hardly the first time anyone's suggested a similar measure.

Also the same thing that stops you from lighting your house on fire and claiming it was an electrical accident or any other sort of false report, I guess - the extent to which anyone is interested in investigating it.

The official death count from H1N1 was much lower than 12,000 or 17,000. Those are the CDC estimates, which try to factor in deaths that weren’t counted due to lack of testing.

What are the odds that Trump and Republicans reject the CDC estimates that come out later for COVID-19? Because it will certainly be adjusted upward, not downward.

They're already trying to reject the current death count because it includes people who were probably gonna die soon anyways

How is filing a report a penalty.

But the answer, assuming that filing a report is a penalty against mah freedom, is yes

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/TN/htm/TN.550.htm

quote:

Sec. 550.026. IMMEDIATE REPORT OF ACCIDENT. (a) The operator of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to or death of a person or damage to a vehicle to the extent that it cannot be normally and safely driven shall immediately by the quickest means of communication give notice of the accident to the:

(1) local police department if the accident occurred in a municipality;

(2) local police department or the sheriff's office if the accident occurred not more than 100 feet outside the limits of a municipality; or

(3) sheriff's office or the nearest office of the department if the accident is not required to be reported under Subdivision (1) or (2).

Doesn't matter if you were at fault or the victim

whatever it is, that's the penalty for not filing the report, not a penalty for being a victim of a crime

I guess you consider your question regarding whether other crimes exist where being a victim carries a mandatory reporting requirement answered then?

Because if the idea the required reporting of lost or stolen firearms is that if a gun that you supposedly own is used in a crime that you are liable for that gun's whereabouts, what is stopping you from claiming that you sold it in a person to person sale? Or, more Constitutionally, simply refusing to answer any questions regarding the firearm on 5th Amendment grounds?

Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution posted:

nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself

Fifth amendment only applies in criminal cases, you can be compelled to testify against yourself in civil cases.

It won't save you from civil penalties.

They're not incompetent, they're evil.

Incompetence is their own excuse whenever they, for example, promise that bailouts of airlines will come with strong oversight to prevent them from just spending all their cash on executive bonuses and stock buybacks again, then go "oh whoops the bill lets airlines take themselves hostage to prevent all that oversight we promised, gosh we really screwed up this time, ohhh well now we just have to give them free money, gee we're so dumb definitely we're huge morons and this wasn't our goal all along"
