LOL. I think the name "Baltimore" throws folks. Didn't notice/absorb the "County" part. That's actually one of the fairly well off counties around here. Right next to White Marsh.

So I guess we'll be getting the "bullied kid", "inattentive parents", "society spoiled his moral compass" and/or "mentally ill" spin on this one. As opposed to the unrepentant monster welfare/drug dealing thug from the inferior culture. Or the criminally-minded illegeal. Heh.

I keed, I keed. CD is just kinda predictable with this stuff, ya know?

Seriously, its a tragedy no matter how you slice it.

Yea letting any idiot buy a gun who wants one has nothing to do with it Look how outrageous crime is in countries that are secular humanist like Sweden and Norway! Oh my those drive by scoldings are rough

They used to be able to have guns and there weren't all these shootings then.

Thousands of kids took their rifles to school with them, put them in a corner and after school went hunting.

There is no link but many of the Baltimore County schools abut the city and are just as bad as some city schools.

Have to change the culture in this country..... when we stop glorifying being a bada.s.s and being a gangsta in this country through movies, tv and rap music and focus on healing and education with a solid family unit...... then we might get somewhere

heck, i did that in NM in the late 80s, except that the rifles stayed in the trunk or the rifle rack behind the seat. or even fully exposed in the rear window.

we never gave it a second thought.

What are you talking about? Are you saying the "Gun Free Zone" didn't work? Criminals don't follow law? Why don't we have laws that apply to criminals too, so they too will follow the laws?

See? Like I say, that's why we need to get a gun in the hand of every teen.
