Erik Aleman: Will our sheriff speak out?

Can we expect to see a response from Sheriff Mark Pazin concerning his position over the wave of new gun-control laws sweeping the nation?

This is the perfect opportunity for him to stand up to this well-intentioned but extremely misguided effort to combat crime.

The true offenders are escaping justice and being robbed of mental help; the equipment being blamed is illegally acquired or operated in an illegal manner hence drafting more legislation is destined to only be ignored by those already dodging the law. Guns don't shoot people; cars don't run people down; spoons don't make people corpulent. Where does the personal accountability come back into the picture?
