  1. A better way to track a bomber

    The mayhem in Boston the week of April 15 was a reminder of how an American city can be paralyzed by a homemade bomb. The same kinds of improvised explosive devices that menaced U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan can easily be deployed by freelance terrorists or madmen trying to send a message, incite panic or just create a media spectacle.

  4. Keeping guns out of the wrong hands

    A common refrain of those who object to new gun control laws is that authorities could do much to keep firearms out of the wrong hands and reduce violence by simply enforcing the laws that are already on the books. In the case of gun trafficking, this line of reasoning is a bit like asking why authorities don't tackle the problem of traffic safety by busting jaywalkers. Under current law, the burden of proof is too high and the penalties are too low to make it worth prosecutors' time, and so few resources are put into going after those who buy guns on behalf of people who cannot legally do so on their own.

  9. Maryland's gun control paradox

    For critics of gun control, Maryland, and particularly Baltimore, are proof of the pointlessness and even dangerousness of seeking to make legal access to firearms more difficult. Maryland has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, particularly in Baltimore, yet it also has high rates of gun crime, especially in its largest city. Even those who are inclined to support gun control may ask what the point is of trying to tackle it on a state level. If Maryland is sandwiched between Pennsylvania and Virginia, with their relatively lax laws, does it make any difference if we enact stricter standards here?
