Baltimore police officers examine a .357 Magnum handgun acquired during the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s gun buyback event at Edmondson Village Shopping Center in 2023. File. (Kim Hairston/Baltimore Sun). 
The federal appeals court ruling that overturned Maryland law requiring gun licensure deserved a better headline in the print version of The Baltimore Sun than “Ruling widens firearm access” (Nov. 22). As if this is a good thing? How about, “Court sides with gun manufacturers over public safety.” Or, “Court makes Marylanders more likely to die by gun.”
I always thought the judiciary was our last protection against public policy extremism and a guardian of our rights. As far as our right to be safe from gun violence is concerned, that, sadly, is no longer true.
