NAHMIR BUNDY SENTENCED FOR RIDGE ROAD BURGLARY

On October 15, 2015, a Wicomico County judge sentenced Nahmir Tareek Bundy, age 17, to thirty (30) years—suspend all but fifteen (15) years--for his role in a Burglary and Armed Robbery that took place on April 23, 2015 on Ridge Road in Salisbury, Maryland. The first five years of the Defendant’s sentence is without the possibility of parole. On September 3, 2015, Bundy pleaded guilty to 1st Degree Burglary, Armed Robbery (2 counts), and Use of a Firearm During a Crime of Violence. Bundy was 16 years of age at the time that he committed this crime-- he was prosecuted and sentenced as an adult offender. After serving his active period of incarceration, Bundy will serve three years on supervised probation. In the first year he will wear a GPS monitor and must pay restitution to the victims as a condition of his probation.
In the early morning hours of April 23, 2015, the Defendant and his accomplices, Darrell Dixon (19), and Malik Moore (19), were in the area of Virginia Avenue on bicycles. There they came across a .22 caliber rifle that was stored in an unlocked truck toolbox. The men stole the .22 caliber rifle and later searched cars for valuables on Ridge Road. While in the driveway of one of the residences, the Defendants observed some X-Box video games that were visible through the home’s windows. The men made entry into the home through a side window carrying with them a baseball bat and the .22 caliber rifle that they stole earlier in the evening. Once inside, the men immediately began stuffing backpacks full of items from the house. Two of the home’s occupants were accosted in their beds at gunpoint by one of the co-defendants. One of the victims was then held by the Defendant at gunpoint on a living room sofa while the other men continued to fill three backpacks full of the victims’ property.
The Salisbury Police Department had at least two score officers working the case and they followed leads throughout the morning. By sunrise on April 23rd, SPD investigatory leads led to search warrants being executed on 214 Delaware Avenue. Once officers made entry into the home, the Defendant was found in the home’s basement in possession of several of the items stolen from the residents. Dixon and Moore were observed outside of the residence by police just before they made entry into the house. Further investigation, revealed the extent of the Defendant’s, Moore’s and Dixon’s involvement in this crime. 

Darrell Lamont Dixon pleaded guilty to Conspiracy-Home Invasion, First Degree Assault and Firearm Use During a Crime of Violence on September 1, 2015. Dixon is scheduled to be sentenced on November 2, 2015. On September 30, 2015, a Wicomico County Jury convicted Malik Dajour Moore, age 19, of Salisbury, Maryland, of multiple crimes, including: First Degree Burglary, Armed Robbery (two (2) counts), False Imprisonment (two (2) counts), Conspiracy-First Degree Burglary, Conspiracy-Armed Robbery (two (2) counts), Theft $1000-$10,000 (two (2) counts), and Theft under $1,000. The Court has ordered a pre-sentence investigation in that case and sentencing will be scheduled on a later date.

This case was prosecuted by Wicomico County State’s Attorney, Matthew A. Maciarello. Mr. Maciarello commends the brave victims in this case who participated in the Salisbury Police Department investigation and in Defendant Moore’s trial. Maciarello further commends the men and women of the Salisbury City Police Department (including Lead Detective, A.J. Foy) who worked diligently to ensure that the offenders were brought to justice in this case.

You've got to be kidding me! Why isn't this piece of dung sentenced to 20+ years without chance of parole?! This judge should be taken out back and shot. He is not looking out for the best interests of the community.

Get a good look at this face, kids. This guy is going to come out of prison looking a lot older and he'll have little or no chance of getting a decent job after he gets out.

Ok, let's talk gun control here...

First off, this is a prime example of how the methods of gun control by the State DO NOT WORK. The gun used in this crime is assumed to be legally purchased but stolen by somebody who, due to age restrictions, cannot legally purchase a gun. In this instance, you can create all kinds of hoops to jump through for law abiding citizens, but ultimately that legally purchased gun can end up in the hands of a criminal. You CANNOT regulate criminals with gun control laws that only law abiding citizens can and will obey. Criminals are called criminals because they commit crimes - AKA... THE DISOBEY THE LAW!

Second, there is another issue at hand here that gun control measures the liberals try to push through almost always fail to address: stolen guns from irresponsible gun owners. If the facts are correct in this release, then owner of the stolen gun should also be held liable for his irresponsible gun ownership. "Out of sight" storage of a firearm in a truck box is not enough to keep it out of the wrong hands. That firearm should have been locked away in an appropriate manner. Since that firearm was seemingly easy to obtain due to the negligence of the owner and used to commit a crime then that gun owner should be held responsible as well. He SHOULD not be allowed to retain his rights to own and purchase firearms.

I personally own 23 firearms and every single one of them is locked up and inaccessible to others when not in use. Other than myself, not a single person knows the combinations to my safes - not even my wife. My wife has her own gun for her own home protection that she keeps in her own bio-metric lock box that I don't have access to. If somebody wants to steal any of my firearms, they better bring an oxy-acetylene torch with them and hope for the best entering my home... I have absolutely no problem with gun control that is PROPERLY written and addresses issues that the government SHOULD approach - irresponsible gun ownership is one. It is literally impossible to keep illegal firearms off the streets; however, there are certain aspects where proper gun control laws would help reduce the potential for illegally possessed and stolen firearms. You hear all the time, "the shooter used a stolen firearm" but you NEVER hear about who that gun was stolen from or any consequences to that person. To me, that is the "Common sense" in gun control, not what these liberals define it as. If you have your gun stolen due to YOUR negligence, then YOU should lose that right and maybe even be held partially responsible for the crime committed - after all, if it weren't for some people's negligence then maybe there would be more people alive these days.

Bottomline, crackdown on the source of illegal gun possession, not the rights of law abiding citizens.
