That's right, they call for more gun control. That's like complaining that a room is too hot, adjusting the thermostat the wrong way, then when you realize it is hotter you adjust the thermostat again in the same direction!
population is more urban
Urban? Isn't urban a modern day liberal code word for something, what was it again?
But in Maryland, handgun purchase applications are based on the "honor system."
I've never heard risking criminal prosecution for not following the law referred to as an "honor system" before.
The overwhelming majority of citizens...
Though this does happen to be true in "The Free State", that doesn't make it any less wrong of an idea. Choosing what to do based on pure majority rule results in nothing less than mob rule, no matter the sanctity of your cause, then the majority is seeking to violate civil & human rights.
They would be people with functioning brain cells, none of whom work for the Sun.
Instead of getting rid of the dead weight in the liberal courts in Maryland, and enforce the laws on the books, and build some prisons(none have been built under 8 years Glendening) rather than putting these guys back out on the street, we need to fingerprint those guns of law-abiding citizens.
Makes my blood boil.
Ever notice how libs always claim "plenty of evidence" without citing the evidence?
Duh...they are not criminals until they commit a crime.
If a person can get a grenade look-alike on a commercial aircraft with all of Tom Ridge's security morons patrolling airports, it would be a simple task in getting a freighter full of all sorts of militia (long guns and pistols) on to our soil.
"There is too much crime. We need more gun control"
Crime goes down:
"See how well gun control works? We need more gun control"
The overwhelming majority of citizens want a million dollars so I guess since the majority rules, crank up the press and send out the checks. What a moron the author, Daniel Webster must be.
