The Post reports on a possible plea deal<\/a> for\u00a0Meredith Graves<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The Manhattan DA<\/a> is trying to work out a plea deal for the Tennessee tourist who accidentally brought an out-of-state-registered handgun to the 9\/11 Memorial and was arrested when she tried to check it with a cop, The Post has learned. \u00a0Meredith Graves, 39, faces a mandatory 3 1\/2 to 15 years for the Dec. 22 blunder if convicted at trial, but could walk away with a no-jail deal, sources said. \u00a0Both sides are \u201choping to resolve this quietly,\u201d said a source …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cy Vance must be getting a lot of political pressure to make the case go away. \u00a0He ought to drop the case entirely. \u00a0That would actually help bolster the antis assertion that they are only after bad guys. \u00a0If the case is dismissed, it won’t stop the momentum behind H.R. 822<\/a>. \u00a0That has been building for a long time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Shelly Silver<\/a> has not made good on his promise<\/a> to have a committee examine our gun laws and their enforcement. \u00a0He did, however, make sure the microstamping bill<\/a> was promptly advanced to 3rd Reading right after the legislature reconvened for the ’12 session.<\/p>\n
