Binghamton and shootings

I want to take the opportunity of entering my first blog with a letter of condolence to the families of the victims who suffered losses in the recent shooting attacks in the US last week. As an alumni of SUNY Binghamton, the attack on the civic school in Binghamton hit close to home. I find it ironic that at an institution teaching students how to be an American, a 3rd world flunky makes the biggest impact by showing the worst of our nation.

The constitution states that Americans have the right to bear arms. I believe in our constitution. In our constitution there is nothing written concerning that this right should be limited to responsible citizens, and regulated so that law enforcement has the ability of preventing similar crimes.

I believe in the following:

1. All guns should require licensing like as in having a vehicle
2. Gun owners should be required to obtain mandatory insurance to pay for death or injuries of the victims.
3. The victims of guns should be able to sue in civil courts for injuries sustained by the negligent use of a firearm. This is no substitute for actions taken within the penal system
4. Crimes committed with a gun should create an extra 10 points when weighing in on punishment.

On another Binghamton issue, I am disappointed with the decision of my former law professor and current District Attorney Gerald Mollin to provide Serbian authorities with evidence in the trial of the hulking brute (cannot pronounce name) that beat up a fellow accounting student. The Serbian brute should face trial in the jurisdiction where the crime is committed rather than having a joke trial for the benefit of the brute's politically connected family. Mollin caved in to the request of the tyrant loving President and his State Department. DA Mollin, you were very tough in your exams. I am asking you to be equally tough in your fight for justice.
