    We all know the media tends to lean leftward. It’s clear as day, especially when it comes to guns. The editorial pages–not the op-eds where pro-gun individuals may occasionally write–tell us this on a regular basis when they use phrases like “sensible gun reform.” The idea is to set the stage by implying anyone who disagrees is, by definition, insensible.

    But over at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, they argue that the problem is that sentences are too light. I’m with this up to this point.

    The problem is, then they decide that the sentences are too light because a firearm was used.'

    Hmm..armed robbery with a knife or baseball bat is STILL armed robbery same goes for murder and rape ..etc..does it really matter what the weapon is?...Quite often I believe these people don't really care if you are murdered , they are just offended by certain weapons being used..but that's just me.

    Of course they are.

    Another issue is the lack of follow-up on NICS denials. The law should require the ATF/BATF to look at denials, investigate those denied because the prospective purchaser could not legally own a gun, and then bring them to trial for perjury and/or attempting to illegally purchase a firearm.

    Why have laws if they are not enforced?
