It's sad to see the recent case where a perp and a college student died .The perp having had a 25 year long criminal record, including an illegal handgun.No body made a fuss about 25 years of being an armed criminal criminal.

That seems to be a bit of a stretch, don't you think? You are saying that Dalton Smith was an armed criminal since he was age 5?? Where did you hear that? He was only 30 when killed by police.

Says here, his first arrest was at 16, which is a bit more realistic than 5.

I am not sure how the history of Dalton Smith actually relates to the first Safe Act arrest or not. Before somebody notes that gun laws don't prevent criminals from breaking them, no law really prevents anything like that. At best, they just set penalties for being caught. After all, they don't prevent gun permit holders (who are supposed to be the good guys, right?) from breaking the law either.

He was found with his legally registered weapon, the only problem being it had 9 rounds in it instead of the arbitrary 7.

"His only problem": Not hardly.

When one gets pulled over by a cop the first thing the guy asks for is the drivers license. If one does not have a drivers license or the drivers license is revoked or suspended, the cop is going to look a little further. He may dig up some really bad stuff.

BTW: OK City bomber Tim McVeigh refused to have a license plate on his car: That's why an OK cop pulled him over. The handgun in plain view was the reason McVeigh was held. The rest is history.

Nice step for the DA! Hope his actions do not result in his firing.

Also I hope the moron has the book thrown at him for the other boneheaded things he did wrong.
