Oh wow.. 18 pages Pass the aspirin... I see 2 "unspeakable tragedies"
1- The slaughter of black children in Chicago Illinois. Black on black crime. Most Americans know this this and MSM avoids it. Because it is the legal guns they want and could care less about blacks killing blacks or FBI stats on crime, murder, guns and race ratio. True defeats agenda
2- Messed up countries think we need to be told how to live
Recently reading a half decent history of the Native North American Indian people who were massacred by the million, along with their buffalo cousins, and stripped of their lands despite numerous Treaties made with the US Government ...

Maryland has EVERY single gun law that the activists claim that they want and more. In Maryland, it's virtually impossible to get a concealed carry permit. Standard capacity magazines are banned. You have to have a permit just to buy a handgun. Mean looking rifles are banned. All handguns transfers must go through a background check. Every single law that the activist turds say that will "stop this" is there. Every single one.

To show further insanity and failure ... Maryland is a BLACK run DEMOCRAT/ Blue state. From the governor down to resuce workers. Black people are the majority rule. This shooting today, had nothing to do with lack of law, the Right, or White people. It is more, BLACK ON BLACK CRIME WITH ILLEGAL GUNS. (Just like Chicago Illinois & many others)
But no one cares.. polictians or MSM. It is the LEGAL guns the system/ government wants ... And guess who has those and aren't killing children and rarely kill eachother or anyone
