Columbia Mall Shooting

Sadly, Maryland has made the front of CNN for the second straight day.  This time, the circumstances are even more tragic.  A gunman apparently has shot and killed two people and taken his own life.

It's sad how much violent crime has increased recently under Howard County Executive Ken Ulman's watch.  Ken Ulman is a Lieutenant Governor candidate on the Anthony Brown ticket.  Some speculate that Ulman's inability to control violent crime in Howard County may tarnish the reputation of the Brown\Ulman ticket for governor of Maryland.

I'm sure that Ulman will be quick to cite the need for more gun control, rather than strictly enforcing the laws that already exist.  Maryland, as many know, is very lax in enforcing laws.
