#1 So, in Maryland, if you are dealing with firearms in a legal manner, you are living a nightmare. If you are dealing with them illegally, the justice system has your back. Got it...

#2 Here's a thought. There needs to be a mandatory minimum sentence - say 5 years in the jug for felons caught in possession of a firearm. The sentence must be served to completion with no time off for "good behavior". The sentence must be served consecutively rather than concurrently with other charges. Also, there is a need to hold Judges and Prosecutors accountable through citizens watchdog groups (ie; MADD Mothers) to deter plea bargins, dismissed charges, or suspended sentences. And in such cases,demand the media focus on the sentence as much as the crime itself. Look, this ain't no panacea but there's no need for new immeasurable laws that only affect the law abiding. For the most part, LE is doing their job enforcing the laws. Now it's time for the suits to step up and do theirs and "We" need to hold them to account.

#3 Is this going to be another story about gun control and gun confiscation, you know the story, we have to collect everyone's firearms to control the few thugs who have an illegal gun. I say these apparatchiks should go *&$# yourselves.

#4 The left believe the primary problem is "too many blacks in jail." How can they crack down on gun crime when doing so makes the "primary problem" worse?

#5 The left is in love with the "logic" of "get rid of guns, get rid of gun crime." By that "logic," cutting down on minorities committing crimes seems like a problem easily solved. Right?

#6 The left is in love with the "logic" of "get rid of guns, get rid of gun crime."
M. Murcek, I'm thinking it's more sinister than that. Get rid of guns to insure that citizens don't come after the D.C. criminals; in other words so that citizens cannot exercise the original intent of the 2nd amendment if necessary and that is to toss a tyrannical government.
