[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many examples like this across the country.

You can thank "progressive" DAs who decide not to prosecute serious crimes and progressive lawmakers who craft laws that allow repeat offenders out on the street before the arresting officer completes the paper work.

In these localities, the criminal is the victim.

Cases like this prove to me that many on the left don't really believe in "gun control."  If they did, they would ensure that people like this criminal is unable to get his hands on another firearm instead of working to take away the rights from law abiding citizens.  [/quote]

Well, it’s a two way street. I’m super liberal and there are a lot of things I would support to keep someone like this from getting a gun, especially making them more traceable, requiring insurance and more involved licensing, and holding straw purchasers accountable, etc etc. But they’re mostly blocked by right wingers with a Rambo fantasy (and sometimes legitimately by the Constitution). There is actually a LOT of reasonable middle ground that has been thoroughly blocked by the NRA, so gun control advocates are left with the only tools they have, which are usually about adding gun related charges after the crime has been committed.
