Maryland: Another School Shooting...We need sensible gun laws in USA and ban all weapons of war

This isn’t happening in any other high income country.

Its not mental illness.
It’s not video games or movies.
It’s not single parenting.
It’s not the fault of law enforcement.

It’s the hundreds of millions of guns and too few gun laws. Full stop.

It's going to be tough enough to get rid of "weapons of war," ARs, etc. There is no chance in hell of getting rid of handguns.

Then have the cops or the ATF going door-to-door, ransacking houses while looking for the "wrong" guns.

That will go over *REAL* well!

The guns are out there, and criminals will get their mitts on them even if they are outlawed.

How about getting the pot smokers out of the jails, and put gun crime offenders in for long stretches?

laws are needed. For example, no open carry, no guns to the mentally ill, xx gun limit per owner, etc.
