THIS POST IS ABOUT FIREARMS

As many of you want to discuss firearms, let's go for it.


This article indicates the 17 year old school shooter was using a Glock
semi-automatic.

Where and how would a 17 year old get a Glock SA sidearm? He could
have bought one "in-da-hood" (for you racists) or, more likely, he got
it from his parents night stand (speculation). There is no state I am
aware of where a 17 year old can legally buy a sidearm.

If procured from his parents, this demonstrates the futility of
background checks for purchasers. Even when sold to "stable" people,
there is little control over who else will have access to the weapons.
I know, maybe we need the police to determine if everyone is
"responsible" before selling them a weapon, please.....

If bought "in-da-hood", that would illustrate the obscenity of so many
firearms being in general circulation.

This time the carnage was less, thankfully. It could have easily been
far worse.

The only thing that made this shooting stand out was he did it at a
school.
At least you admit the futility of "more laws". They have plenty.
I am curious about where the gun came from too. Usually that gets lost
in the statistics if this was just the regular street shooting that
Maryland has hundreds of every year.
