Jeffrey Scott Shapiro: A Gun Ban That Misfired What I saw as a prosecutor in Washington, D.C., makes me wary of strict firearms laws. Worth taking the time to read. One statement stood out "Civil liberties were endangered. Legislative changes empowered judges to hold gun suspects in pretrial detention without bond for up to 100 days, and efforts were made to enact curfews and seize automobiles found to contain firearms." We cannot allow our rights to be usurped because once we have lost them, I fear they will be gone forever
