How's that "Reformed in prison" theory working out? This scumbag should have got the Death Penalty the first time around. Then we would not have a second victim, or the expense to the taxpayers for a second trip through the Justice System.
In a Fairy Tale taking guns off the street might be an option. In the REAL world there are hundreds of millions guns. Fortunately, 99.999 percent of those guns are in the hands of LAW ABIDING citizens. The scumbags did not use guns to cause death and injury at the Boston Marathon. I guess we better take Pressure Cookers off of the streets.
RTS1416.... Prosecuting them and putting them in JAIL would most certainly prevent them from going somewhere else where there is no background check. Why bother closing the gun show "loophole" with another law if it's not going to be enforced any better than the ones already on the books.
Sensible - What the government is NOT doing is prosecuting the Felons that attempt to purchase a gun, but are turned away because of a negative result on their background check. The background check system that is currently in effect has stopped thousands of Felons from buying guns. However, it is also a crime for them to even attempt to buy a gun. Only a small handful of those Felons who attempted to buy a gun have been prosecuted.
The Headline reads "Austintown man arraigned in Youngstown home invasion". Then it says "Marquel Clemons, of Austintown..." Then it says "Marquel D. Clemons, 21, of West LaClede Avenue..." Then it says the invaded home was on "300 block of North Roanoke Avenue..." I think the headline should read "Youngstown man arraigned in Austintown home invasion." The Vindy needs to go back to using Proof Readers before releasing a story.
It seems that many people have the impression that Fracking is something relatively new. Hydraulic Fracturing was first used in the late 1940's. Fracking was first used way back in the middle of the 19th century. The first well that was ever fracked used a charge of Black Powder, followed by the use of Nitroglycerin a few years later. Hydraulic Fracturing is a much safer and controllable method of fracking compared to the old method of "Shooting" a well with large amounts of Nitro.
I went to a Phantoms game recently with my Grandson and his Cub Scout pack. Later that evening I ran into a friend of mine who happens to be a popular DJ on one of the local radio stations. I mentioned to him that we were at a Phantoms game earlier in the evening. He said that he used to go to the Phantoms games, but quit going because of the "Attitude" that the Covelli Centers security guards seemed to have. I said to him that I could see why. When we were leaving the center after the game, we were headed towards the Main front doors, when the security guards started screaming at myself and my 6 year old grandson like we were terrorists with assault rifles. You Can't go that way! You have to use the back door! The security guards were "Herding" everyone out the back doors into the parking lot. We happened to be parked on Boardman Street, but had to walk clear around the Covelli Center, outside in the cold because it seemed that going out the main doors would have been an inconvenience to the Security guards. I had to agree with My DJ friend that the $8.00 per hour rent-a-cop security guards do seem to have an attitude problem, and really need some training in people skills and polite etiquette. They would be more effective by acting as professionals, rather than trying to intimidate the patrons.
Gun, ammunition stolen during break-in, assault at Warren home
What? Obtaining a Gun without a background check? What are becoming of today's criminals?
