Maryland is a May issue state- need a real good reason to conceal carry

Permit required to purchase a handgun.

Basically sounds heavily regulated to the point everyone in Maryland is a sitting duck.

I think stotguns and bolt action long rifles is all you can own.

Guess this will ratchet the left up a notch and all shotguns will have to be banned too.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Let me guess, 99.99% probability it is a GFZ
Or, state restrictions so tight on law abiding citizens that they can't protect themselves.
Or both.
Yea, both.

He likely saw the video of an attorney saying to remain silent. :???:

On another note, I have not looked yet but I was thinking Maryland has some pretty tough restrictions on firearms and even the magazines and such.

Read he damaged his finger prints so he couldn't be identified, so he wants to be the anonymous shooter

yeh, that seems to be pretty consistently reported.....
another network is apparently reporting that he is 39, so the age is being debated.

Unsuccessfully sued the newspaper for slander in 2012.

Used smoke grenades.

They had to use facial recognition software to identify him.

Found hiding under a desk, I presume trying to look like a victim.

Had an explosive device.

Ponytail, so I’m thinking not a conservative.

Polosi already calling for gun control. No one mentions Maryland has heavy gun control, which is why no one could shoot back.

It’s a 10 round magazine state, if you can buy a gun, which you probably can’t.

Getting a concealed permit or any permit to carry in Maryland is next to impossible. Which is exactly why people had to hide under their desks waiting to be slaughtered.

Joe Biden’s tweet on the shooting today.

What should Congress do? Ban your favorite shotgun.

Maryland has just about all your beloved gun laws outside of a total ban.

Do you think the gun laws they have made them the targets they became?

Naw we want all your guns.

It will be “mental health” and people calling for the “red flag” law.

Prayers for the victims and the family who lost loved ones.

The cowardly shooter threw his weapon down and hid under a desk when the police arrived after only (!) 60 seconds reportedly.

It was also reported that he stopped after slaughtering his first victims to reload. At that point he could have been taken out had there been a "good guy with a gun".

It is disgraceful IMHO that no one there was able to defend themselves.
