Is it my imagination or is Mobile becoming the murder capital of the south?  It seems like every newscast now features a murder or two. 

I suspect the powers-that-be need to toughen up (and enforce) the existing gun laws.  God knows, we don't need any more laws as the laws on the books are enough.  I think the problem here is the enforcement.  Can you walk into a pawn shop and walk out with a gun?  You shouldn't be able to because every state has a waiting period while background checks are done.  Are the pawn shops in Mobile and Pensacola doing that?  I believe we all (if we're a lawabiding citizen) have the privilege of gun ownership, whether for protection or hunting, but our vendors need to sharpen up and following the law.
