How's that Toughest Gun Laws Workin' Again?

Police find guns, drugs, and money in Ashland home

ASHLAND — Police pulled 8 pounds of marijuana, $13,000 in cash, a .38 caliber revolver and DVD counterfeiting equipment out of a home on Captain Eames Circle in Ashland on Monday.

Police were searching for 29-year-old Kareem J. Taylor, of 439 Captain Eames Circle, after he sped away from a Hopkinton officer on Friday. The officer had stopped Taylor, who has faced more than 100 criminal charges, after recognizing his gray Acura and knowing Taylor had a suspended license, according to a police report.

Okay, now I know that charges ≠ convictions, but still, what's the likelihood that all 100 charges were dropped? And even if they were, he's out on bail for a drug trafficking charge. He's prohibited from owning firearms, period - yet he had a loaded gun in his possession. All the licensing, "Assault Weapons" bans, magazine restrictions, and "Approved Firearms Rosters" were meaningless because he's a criminal who breaks the laws.

And as soon as he gets arrested, some judge throws him right back out on the street, free to prey on innocents again. He's out driving drunk on a revoked license with a stolen .38 stuffed under the seat, without a care in the world; meanwhile I have to pass on reviewing a CMMG .22LR conversion kit for Guns, Holsters, and Gear because it comes with a 25 round magazine. Where's the fairness in that? This guy goes out and commits dozens if not hundreds of crimes and is out on the street, whereas I have to worry about one of my new shooters accidentally taking home a piece of brass from the range.

Now that is some common sense gun control right there...

That is all.
