We need to hear both sides of the gun control debate
The current gun control debate is being controlled by politicians and the media, both of which have self-serving agendas that have nothing to do with the merits of this most important constitutional right as it relates to our freedoms. We all want the...Tags: Interior Policy, Personal Weapon Control, Gun Control

Can we finally close the gun show loophole?
Whether it's the indelible horror of the massacre at Newtown, Conn., or the tone-deaf response of the National Rifle Association and its allies who have shown themselves so hysterical and paranoid on the subject of gun rights, the public's hunger for...

Standing up to the NRA? Now that would be courageous
Richard Vatz takes us on a meandering journey in his op-ed "Who will be our next profiles in courage?" (Jan. 15). He wonders "Where do our current leaders land on the courage criterion? ... Will they recognize, as one of my colleagues puts it, that...

The cold-hearted dictators of the NRA
I read Rachel Marsden's commentary ("In NRA-land, we are still crack shots and cold killers," Jan. 1) with interest. I wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Marsden and offer the following: Wayne LaPierre and the National Rifle Association's solution to have...Tags: Lobbying, Wayne LaPierre

The Second Amendment shouldn't get in the way of common sense
It is time to move beyond the archaic interpretation of the Second Amendment offered by the gun lobby ("What will get the NRA's attention?" Jan. 7). We do not believe in the legality of independent militias today, nor do we subscribe to the overthrow of...Tags: Interior Policy, Lobbying, Personal Weapon Control, Gun Control

Guns in the home are an accident waiting to happen
I was stunned to read Susan Reimer's remarks about the mother of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, Adam Lanza ("Nancy Lanza, Newtown's forgotten victim," Dec. 27). Ms. Reimer makes some astonishing statements. For example, Ms. Reimer writes that...Tags: Interior Policy, Adam Lanza, Shootings, Personal Weapon Control, Gun Control

What gun violence says about our country
Kudos to Dan Rodricks and The Sun for your coverage of last month's tragedy involving innocent victims of the proliferation of guns in the U.S. You stepped forward with not only the horrific facts of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings but were... -
Letter: Time, again, to ask elected officials for meaningful gun reform
I was the Howard County co-coordinator for the Million Mom March, for sensible hand gun reform, in 2000. I certainly never dreamed I would be back to the same plea, to all, to contact our U.S. senators, our Maryland senators, all our elected officials, to...Tags: Howard County, Public Officials, Government

Let's not let NRA's LaPierre misdirect us with ignorance, lies about media
The Baltimore SunWhat an ignorant, dishonest and pathetic response to Sandy Hook today from the National Rifle Association. As a media critic, I will limit myself to the disingenuous attack on the media from Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the organization. Of course,...Tags: The Wire (tv program), College Park (Prince George's, Maryland), Gaming, Gaming Industry, Research

The NRA doesn't represent America's gun owners
Your recent editorial expressed outrage at the National Rifle Association's ridiculous claim that the answer to the Newtown school shooting is more guns in schools ("NRA to America: Blame yourself, not us," Dec. 21). But what position did you expect the... -
