Guns cannot get more banned than they already in Maryland. You simply cannot have one unless you are a criminal.
Or work for the government.
Not true. Our 2A rights are severely infringed but we can and do own firearms.
Most of Maryland is actually pretty red conservative. My county went 70% Trump and with only one exception has all Republican political leadership.
Whoever the shooter is certainly broke numerous laws before ever pulling the trigger.
In Maryland’s case, transport alone was technically illegal.
For transport, one must be going to or from a legitimate shooting activity (range), a gunsmith, a gun show or to purchase or sell said gun.
The firearm must be unloaded and inaccessible to the driver. Ammunition must be separate.
Then there’s carrying a gun onto school property. Also illegal.
Entering the building. Also illegal
If the gun was recently purchased, did he take the 8 hour Handgun Qualification Safety class, get fingerprinted, obtain his NICS check and wait the prescribed 7 day waiting period? Or, did he just go buy one from some guy?
I despise all of the restrictions in this state. This situation won’t help. The general asylum in Annapolis is still in session so they may try to speed ram more gun control down our throats. I’m sure they are feverishly writing down more infringements before rigor mortis even sets in
Ever been to Japan? It can always get worse....
