What intelligent person doesn't forsee that "ghost guns" = crazy people, specifically the crazy people, making them and using them to commit crimes. Unfortunately, the internet has made stupid people's normative frame the default, nationally.

Editor,
You likely have the name and mugshot of the arrestee. Since we live in a state where he likely to be booked and released to do this type of thing all over again (statistically speaking), you would be doing the community a public safety favor by letting us know who it is so we can be aware should we see him wandering the streets of Palo Alto. Many thanks!

I'm glad we have police that respond quickly to reports like this. I, for one, was adamantly against the whole de-fund thing.
