Susan P. Dorsey, 50, sold four revolvers, a .22-caliber, two .38-calibers and a .32-caliber, to the pawnshop, the Baltimore Gun Task Force found while reviewing its records. The guns belonged to Dorsey's father, who is deceased.Stupid move, Susan. You should have taken them to one of those "gun buy-backs", where you could have redeemed them for gift certificates, cash or prizes--all "no questions asked."
I love how spokespolicestateapologist Greg Shipley credits a "meticulous review of pawnshop records by the Baltimore Gun Task Force" for this stunning success at keeping us all safe. I don't suppose it's occurred to you, Greg, that if Susan had really wanted to bypass the system, she'd have just sold the guns "on the street" with no records. Let's see what your "Task Force" could have done about that.
I also can't help but notice how a conviction 18 years ago means this woman is forever deemed unworthy to be able to protect her life. As long as we're going to invoke those standards, shouldn't they be applied equally to all?
Cruel, unusual, disproportionate. Punished for having a parent die. Can't selling them be considered a reasonable attempt to obey the law?
ReplyDeleteTheir are plenty of places in Baltimore they could go to find guns that shouldn't be there. But those people sometimes shoot back and when they don't there is a big political march hollering discrimination. So the cowards just like wolves hunt in packs to get a rabbit.
ReplyDeleteMuch safer don't you know.
