An unknown bank robber currently being sought by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is hoping a new website can help investigators match some names to faces.
The FBI recently launched the new site, which features a gallery of unknown bank robbery suspects. Users of bankrobbers.fbi.gov can filter searches by city, state and serial and non-serial robbery suspects.
The FBI plays a primary role in the investigation of all armed bank robberies. “Of the 5,086 bank robberies, burglaries, and larcenies last year, 201 included acts of violence; 70 involved the discharge of firearms. Thirteen people were killed during bank robberies last year, though it was usually the perpetrator (10 incidents),” according to an FBI press release.

Rezbi,It is incredibly duicifflt to say why a particular law is passed, and even more duicifflt to make such a determination when it comes to multiple laws in multiple states. Legislators may vote in favor of a bill due to a desire to pander to voters, to make lobbyists happy, as a bargain to ensure passage of a bill that they like, and many other reasons that don’t really related to the proported goal of the legislation. Take a look at this video clip to see what I mean: That said, I would guess that many gun control laws are passed by politicians who are seeking a quick fix to the problem of crime, or who fear for their political careers if they don’t quickly act to do something in the wake of a particularly violent crime. Either way, such gun control laws have proven rather ineffective, as we can see by the high crime in areas with the strictest gun control laws:Gun control laws won’t work until criminals start obeying the law. Just as having a law against murder won’t prevent criminals from committing that crime, telling criminals they can’t have guns just means that criminals have another law to ignore.
