  1. Maryland's missing guns

    Maryland ranks near the top of the nation in the number of firearms its federally licensed gun dealers report as lost or stolen, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a distinction far out of proportion to the state's size or rate of firearm ownership. The question is how many were actually lost and how many were "lost" by dishonest gun dealers looking to sell off the books to people who couldn't qualify to buy a weapon.

  2. One Republican calls it quits, another jumps in

    A generational shift within the Maryland Republican Party picked up steam Tuesday as a veteran GOP senator called an end to her legislative career and a conservative favorite launched an audacious challenge to an incumbent Democratic congressman.

  3. Why is O'Malley silent on NSA spying?

    As it turns out, we are "one" Maryland, as Gov. Martin O'Malley likes to say — one Maryland under surveillance by thousands of people who live and work in this state.

  4. GOP's Jacobs to retire from state Senate

    State Sen. Nancy Jacobs, one of the longest-serving Republican lawmakers in Maryland, said Tuesday that she will not seek re-election in 2014 -- adding to the attrition of the GOP's small band of senators.

  5. Tyranny and guns

    In reading The Sun's letters to the editor over the last few years — and especially John Armstrong's recent letter ("Sheriff's refusal to enforce gun law is victory for people," June 13) — it appears that a new definition of tyranny has emerged.

  6. Courts, not sheriffs, interpret the Constitution

    It is interesting to see Second Amendment enthusiasts like letter writer John Armstrong embracing a few county sheriffs' announced refusal to endorse Maryland's new gun law based on its unconstitutionality ("Sheriff's refusal to enforce gun law is victory...

  7. Opposing Md.'s new gun control law doesn't make one an ignoramus

    I must take issue with a recent letter to the editor slamming the sheriff of Garrett County for his stand against enforcing the new gun law ("The booboisie emerges victorious," June 10).
    I must take issue with a recent letter to the editor slamming the sheriff of Garrett County for his stand against enforcing the new gun law ("The booboisie emerges victorious," June 10). First, I'm a registered Democrat. Second, I never owned a gun...

  8. Sheriff's refusal to enforce gun law is a victory for the people

    Given what's been going on in Washington, it's good to see the sheriffs of three Maryland counties standing up for the rights of their citizens ("Sheriff won't enforce gun law," June 6).

  9. Long waits for gun background checks are more than an inconvenience; they're a sign of incompetence

    Regarding your recent editorial on the long wait gun buyers must endure while state police background checks are completed, I can agree that the Maryland gun community is very unhappy and that the government can't work miracles. But beyond that, there are a lot of problems with your view ("Background check backlog," June 11).

  10. Ten times more people signed petitions on Balto. Co. zoning than the death penalty or gun control

    The hotly debated issues of gun control and the death penalty attracted fewer than 18,500 signatures ("What was all the fuss about?" June 3), while the seemingly more mundane issues of Owings Mills traffic, preserving Baltimore County's diminishing industrial opportunities and the undemocratic zoning process that makes those decisions attracted more than 170,000 signatures.

  11. Maryland's gun background check backlog

    When government is given a job to do in seven days and it takes 10 weeks instead, anger and frustration is likely to be heard. Such is the case with the background checks for gun purchases. The Maryland State Police has a backlog, and gun dealers and purchasers alike aren't happy about waiting 10 times longer than intended.
