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.

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

But, if it was, you could bet on two things:

1. The perp stold it.
   

2. The owner would be the prime suspect, whether or not there was any actual connection. And hordes of media and face-saving law enforcement types would be delving into his background rather than trying to locate the perp.

As a native Baltimorean who now resides in Stafford VA the only thing I miss about the Sun is detailed coverage of the O's. Maybe that is a good thing considering what Angelos has done to the team. On topic, I love my native city but am so glad I do not have to endure Maryland politics anymore. As an aside, if DC keeps making headway with the representation in Congress issue - I say give all non-federal land back to MD - the state gave it to the Feds in good faith. At least that would save us from two eternal Senate seats.
