This strict gun control laws are really paying off, aren?t they? Tim, it's more like this country has gone totally crazy and out of control. No clues yet what this guy's motive was but it won't surprise me if he turns out to be a right wing nutcase. Well, for what it is worth, the police have identified the guy from photo recognition software. It was reported he did "something" to obliterate his fingerprints. He's a white man, 39 years old, named Jarrod Warren Ramos, according to multiple law enforcement sources, who apparently lives in Laurel, Maryland. Ramos has a connection to the paper. He filed a defamation claim in 2012 against the paper but the case was dismissed. He also has a minor conviction for "harassment" some years ago. Tim thinks Maryland has "strict" gun laws. That's kind of funny, since Maryland doesn't have "strict" gun laws. They have most of the things people are clamoring for as "sensible" or "common sense" gun laws * handgun license to buy one * handgun de facto registration *Assault Weapons ban * high cap magazine ban * universal background checks on all sales * red flag law Do they still have that stupid fired case law? As I said, Maryland does not have strict gun laws. There is no "handgun license." There is a "handgun qualification license." Even an idiot like Alex could get one. I'm not sure what "handgun de facto registration" means. There is no "assault weapons ban." Most AR-15 type rifles are banned if they don't have heavy barrels, but you can buy an AR-10 off the shelf, and any number of different semi-auto rifles. Only the sale of hi-cap mags are prohibited. Possession is legal, as is buying them across the state line and bringing them into Maryland. I have no idea what a "red flag" law is. Your state is one of the ones the left uses for examples of sensible gun laws. BTE to enlighten you the red flag law mean they had the ability to take Ramos' shotgun based on his social media rantings but they didn't. Thanks for pointing out the futility tho. Ahh, so there's nothing that can be done. Let 'er rip! I've come to the conclusion that there really is nothing that can be done in terms of new gun laws mainly because of how many guns already exist and the lack of records as to where they are or who owns them. Yeah, mandatory background checks, etc., may help but most places already have them. The only thing I can think of .... and this will cause indigestion for many here ... is a required registration of all guns and strict enforcement of the required registration. If for some reason you are found to be in possession of a firearm that is not registered to you as it's owner, it results in immediate confiscation of that firearm. The data base or registry identifies the owner and the owner is held responsible for it and it's use. If stolen, sold or legally transferred a report of that event or transfer would be required within 48 hours. Not dissimilar for titles for vehicles. So to some ... go take an antacid. It's the tiny bit of liberal DNA in me. I'd certainly support complete registration of all firearms as a decent start. Used firearms must be registered, too. Along with the registration, a mandatory background check of the purchaser. All firearms, no exceptions. That would not have changed any of the recent shootings at all. They had no problem tracing this guy's shotgun back to the dealer within hours. What would registration do? I can't understand why you are so down on registration of firearms and the attendant paperwork and bureaucracy. The purpose of all that is to help find the perpetrator when he robs a 7/11, shoots someone, and leaves his gun on the counter as he departs. Now get off this negative attitude! There's another aspect of mandatory gun registration that I'd like to see implemented and enforced. Similar to some of the Admiralty/Maritime laws, I think firearms used in any kind of criminal activity should have some level of responsibility traced back to the owner on record, regardless if the owner on record was even remotely connected to the crime committed. Before Greg points out that it "wouldn't have prevented any mass killings" so therefore it's not helpful, I'd like to make the point that perhaps with some criminal responsibility hanging on owner's heads they may be more careful in the control of who has access to their firearms. I am thinking of the kid in one of these shootings who got the firearm from his mother who technically owned it. Since there was no problem establishing who owned the gun, again, what would registration accomplish? It is just one more layer of bureaucracy and no doubt tax. Laws requiring proper storage of the gun already exist, even in gun friendly states like Florida but, since Lanza (Sandy Hook) shot his mom when he took the gun, I doubt the law would have much punishment available to use against her. It's kinda fun watching you come up with every reason in the world to do nothing. At a certain point I think we have squeezed the gun issue about as hard as we can. It is time to start trying to just stop the crazy people who think it is OK to kill a bunch of innocent victims. I have said many times, guns are for lazy people but it is far from the only deadly thing out there. Some can be even more devastating. There are plenty of industrial gasses that are totally unregulated and have the ability to really do some damage. How many people would recognize the smell of acetylene and know to run like hell if they smelled it coming out of the vents in a building? I guess this is what is called today as "having a conversation". Nothing is really accomplished but points of view are identified. Fretwell's point on industrial gases is...absurd. I'd like to hear your point of view on your bankruptcies, forclosure, tax evasion etc. Every time the subject is broached you respond with crickets. What say you. Please add 'Vietnam service' to the list. I'd like to thank him for his support of the Vietnam war effort, but he won't tell us who he worked for or what he 'really' did! He said he worked for a general in the Vietnamese army but he didn't say whether he was a boot polisher or geisha. Not many geishas in Vietnam. Most likely a 'boom-boom' girl. |
