In my humble opinion, gun laws alone won't work. We need stricter ones, much stricter ones. People's fuses are too short anymore and there is zero tolerance for disagreement without someone escalating it to life sentences.

In addition to stricter gun laws (which hopefully comes sooner than later), how would we also go about getting guns off the streets? It's gotten to the point that in my particular state, you don't even need to register a firearm anymore.

One thing I'd like to see is a requirement for all guns to be registered. It would take some time but if someone owns a gun used in something and it is registered to them, they need to be brought in for questioning about how well they took care of their gun. If it were stolen, it should be immediately reported as such. I don't know... just spit ballin here. But something's gotta get done.

This is horrible, but it's also Baltimore

What you are looking for is social security nets that will help people before they get "too crazy".
Or as Americans calls it, communism.

July 4th is going to be awful for this kinda shit

We went to Baltimore a lot in the 90s on family trips, man that city has had a major flip since then. It used to be reasonably safe to walk the inner harbor at night.

There is a difference in providing people with needs from telling people what there needs will be.

What we need is to help the mentally ill not take away my 2A rights!

Really, in the 90s? Because I thought Baltimore's had problems for a long time.

That whole statement is kind of funny because the highest crime has ever been in Baltimore was in the 90s.

Except for homicides, they've been high since 2015.

Depressive if you look at the full picture of it all.

It's Baltimore. Have you guys ever seen The Wire?

Downtown aint bad, like around the inner harbor but just stay away from East or West Baltimore. Once you cross the railroad tracks youll know.

And Marijuana became legal in the state this week too. No peace.
