  1. Fight against gun violence must go on despite setback in the Senate

    I am ashamed to find out that the U.S. Senate has voted to oppose minimal, common-sense gun control legislation ("Defeat leaves gun control backers at a loss for strategy," April 19).
    I am ashamed to find out that the U.S. Senate has voted to oppose minimal, common-sense gun control legislation ("Defeat leaves gun control backers at a loss for strategy," April 19). Thankfully, both of our Maryland senators supported these measures,...

  2. Gun vote shows politicians have been bought and paid for by the NRA

    The result of the gun control votes in the U.S. Senate sickened me ("Defeat leaves gun control backers at a loss for strategy," April 19).

  3. Pricing, not sales tax, will determine retailers' success

    It is amazing that the U.S. Senate has been paralyzed to the extent that it is unable to pass legislation favored by 90 percent of Americans requiring simple background checks on gun purchasers but at the same time is poised to sock it to consumers by...

  4. Filibuster rules at heart of gun bill 'defeat'

    Do the people of the United States know that the U.S. Senate voted favorably on several amendments to the gun control bill? A majority of senators approved amendments requiring background checks for online and gun show purchases, providing special oversight of mentally ill persons and setting forth other limitations on gun purchases. The number of senators voting for these amendments ranged from 52 to 58. All of these votes were for naught because the Republican Party called for a filibuster, and the Democratic Party leadership then pulled the bill from further consideration.

  5. What's left for O'Malley?

    The knock on Gov. Martin O'Malley by his critics is that everything he does is an effort to pad his resume for a presumed run for president. The latest evidence: He enacted Maryland's most sweeping gun control measures in a generation, abolished the death penalty, secured the most significant boost in state transportation funding since the Schaefer administration, laid the groundwork for a wind farm off the <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/travel/beaches/">Ocean City</a> coast, passed legislation that will make it easier for veterans to get jobs and for the government to partner with private industry on major projects, and effectively eliminated the gap between projected revenues and expenses that has dogged Maryland for the last decade.

  6. U.S. Senate threatens key Chesapeake Bay protections

    Having moved to Maryland two years ago, I've learned something about its people: Marylanders stand up for the Chesapeake Bay. A healthy bay underlies the regional economy and is a fundamental part of our rich heritage.

  7. Shame on you, senators

    America has a new hero &mdash; the woman who shouted, "Shame on you," when the U.S. Senate failed to pass the expanded background check bill ("Senate rejects expanded checks on gun purchases," April 18).

  8. Citizens must unite to stop the senseless slaughter by gun violence

    One sign of being crazy is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. Allowing guns to proliferate on our streets repeatedly has resulted in violence against innocent people, but given the opportunity to do something different, the U.S. Senate has settled on more of the same &mdash; which is nothing ("Senate rejects expanded checks on gun purchases," April 18).

  9. Shame on the Senate; send 'em all home

    Let me begin this column with an apology. Once a week, I pick an important issue and offer my reasoned analysis, based on the facts, of what it all means and how we should react. But there are times when the intellect fails and the heart and gut take over. And this is one of them.

  10. In Senate gun control vote, tyranny of the minority

    "We think it's reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone." &mdash; National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, May 27, 1999.

  12. The false security of gun-control measures

    Now that the way has been cleared for the U.S. Senate to vote on a bipartisan bill to toughen federal gun controls, Americans should remember that the effectiveness of government regulations has limits. Ultimately, new laws will give Americans a false sense of security and further delay efforts to address cultural dysfunctions that give rise to so much violence.
