GOOD! We need that debate brought up again. The 'Rats have been avoiding it like the plague because they know they'll lose on the issue.

"If we had that fingerprinting [for rifles], that guy wouldn't be free right now," Fitzgerald said of the sniper.

What an idiot.

The Sun continues it's usual role of cheerleader for every democratic candidate. This is why CFR must be overturned.

This comment, though, is unusually ignorant, even for the Sun: """If we had that fingerprinting [for rifles], that guy wouldn't be free right now," Fitzgerald said of the sniper. """

Fitzgerald is just assuming that the rifle was legally purchased in Maryland. Not bloody likely.

Wonder of Townsend's gun control position has anything to do with the fact that her Grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer?

All Ehrlich has to do is run one ad telling the voters of Maryland that KKT intends to keep them dependent, defenceless victims- only more so. It will work, because it has one, simple, saving grace: it is the truth.

It's interesting that the Washington Post slams KKT (a bit) in an editorial today for politicizing this issue. I know it is a liberal hot-house, but the WP seems to be trying to find some balance (or at least some reason).

Fact is there are more than enough laws on the books to handle this so why hasnt it stopped. Simply put you can make it illegal and guns will become an import just as drugs are.If liberals cared about morals like they do guns America wouldnt be mirred down in this cesspool.
Ms. Kennedy-Townsend. it is already illegal for Felons to own guns, so how do they still commit crime with them? Simple you liberals want to keep them out of jail and give them voting rights. You are forcing honest people to become criminals just to protect themselves.The only people government protects is the rich,powerful and politicians!

If the rifle is an AR-15 type, you can just put another upper unit with barrel on it in 30 seconds. Then sight in again at the range. This is an unlicensed part, free from any of the NICS checks. Of course, Maryland would then try to consficate all AR-15's.
