Obama on guns

He believes in ballistic fingerprinting plans that have failed in New York and Maryland.

Update: BTW, I was unaware that Maryland has actually gotten one conviction from its database. Did not know that.

    So $2.6 million dollars for one conviction. While I’m always happy to see bad guys get caught and convicted, I don’t think that rates very well on any kind of cost benefit analysis.

    Two states, millions of dollars, and one conviction over three years ago. Seems like an efficient use of taxpayer dollars to me. If I lived in Maryland or New York, I’d feel sooo much safer.

    Two things could keep the guy off the streets: A conviction based on ballistic fingerprinting or a couple of well-placed shots to the chest.

    Which is cheaper?

    The MD “conviction” is crap. The police had they guy, the gun, and witnesses. The database connection was all PR. The old governor (R) was pushing to scrap the system, and this “miracle” was ginned up for “proof the database worked.”

  5. k-romulus Says:

    The linked Post article says the gun was never found, but that’s not how the story was originally reported. I’ll try to find an article that says what I said.

    K-Rom is right, I remember that little detail (that the police and prosecutors already had the guy nailed anyway) being ignored by the gun grabbers in their testimony back in 2006 in Annapolis.

    It also means that back in 2005’s session, before this had even come to light, that Casey Anderson from Ceasefire Maryland was flat out LYING when he insisted to the Delegation in Annapolis that the database had been used to convict people.
