Maryland gun law...
Permits required to purchase
Universal background checks ANY sale, ffl or private
STATE and federal background checks
Registration of all handguns and Ar-15 style rifles
Mandatory firearms training required for permits
SEVEN day waiting period
High capacity magazine ban
Didn't matter one iota. Three Maryland bought and registered mass shootings.
Gun control isn't going to stop mass shootings...the proof is here.
I sure hope that they don't figure this out in Australia, and the industrialized countries of Europe and the Pacific Rim!
Gun ban. Gotcha. I mean, you're too cowardly to come out and say it, but we get it.
Mass government confiscation.
100,000,000 gun owners penalized over the actions of the .0000000001%.
Right. Hillary, and her band of paranoids are going to take your gun from you in the middle of the night while you are asleep.
That's what was done in Australia...were you full of shit before or full of shit now?
Instead of tap dancing just tell me exactly what you propose.
Maryland has universal background checks...even on private sales.
They have mandatory registration.
They have mandatory permits for purchase.
They have a mandatory waiting period.
They have a high capacity magazine ban.
They have both state and federal background checks.
Yet this mass shooter legally puchased and registered her gun in Maryland. The guy who committed the mass shooting a couple days ago at the Gazette in Annapolis legal bought his gun in Maryland, and the mass shooter who shot up the competition in Florida last month legally bought two handguns in Maryland...so it's pretty obvious that shit ain't workin' to stop mass shootings.
SO...tap dancer...what will work? Everything gun-haters propose to curb mass shootings is the fucking law in Maryland...and it doesn't stop shit.
I confess that I don't know how to dance.
Let me answer with this piece of information. Cigarettes cost over $10 per pack in New York, due to "sin taxes" placed on them in that city. This created a major boom in bootleg cigarettes by people buying them in Virginia, and selling them in New York for exurbanite profits. So, now, New Yorkers can buy cigarettes for, say, $5.50 a pack, bootleggers get rich, and New York loses their expected tax revenue. Who could have POSSIBLY anticipated that?
But these people didn't go to Virginia. They LEGALLY bought their guns in Maryland. So this is a dodge.
ALL the gun control in Maryland DIDN'T HELP. Nor will any other gun control like this. It's doing something for the sake of doing something.
I think of this like I think about alcohol. We know that there are millions of people that use alcohol responsibly. We also know that there are always going to be people that don't...and invariable innocent people are going to die because of that minority. We don't punish the 100,000,000 who drank responsibly last night for the drunk driver who killed a family of four at 2am this morning. If the drunk driver lives, we punish him or her.
And THAT is the answer. Commit a felony with a firearm...10 years automatically. Convicted felon with a gun...life sentence automatically.
