Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan: Gun control isn’t working
The Washington Times ^ | December 5, 2015 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 12/05/2015 7:42:02 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Friday that California’s strict gun-control laws failed to prevent the San Bernardino mass shooting, and that lawmakers need to seek “better answers.”

“This issue goes beyond gun control,” Mr. Hogan told the Baltimore Sun outside a local diner.

“California has the toughest laws in the country. We probably have the second toughest. It hasn’t stopped us. We have more than 315 murders here in Baltimore City, we had a tragedy in California,” Mr. Hogan said. “We’ve got to come up with better answers.”

Unlike Governor Bob Ehrlich, I can honestly say I admire Governor Hogan. He's trying to stop Syrian refugees from resettling in this state, and he's at least questioning gun control in this heavily liberal state. I look forward to at least three more good years.

I told a friend today that California has the strictest gun control laws in America so how did these guns happen to get into the state. Of course he said that they were brought in from Arizona or Idaho a very easy state to get weapons. You can’t win with these people.

Just how well did that Malvo and Muhammad thing work out?

A good place to start would stop all the third world countries from dumping their garbage on America. Then, throw out all of the garbage they already dumped on us.

All you had to do was visit the pop-up laden WT web site and read the rest of the article (while it hijacked your browser).

:-D

A good place to start would be to establish a federal CCW permit good in all fifty states. Fifty seven if Obama protests. As long as you have a state issued CCW you get a federal CCW. Go to any federal courthouse in your state and pick it up.

The states would continue their CCW programs. NJ, NY, CA & NJ could continue being bone heads. Those in the four states that wanted a CCW states would have additional incentive to move out.

Actually, I am so rummy, stunned, gobsmacked, and mind-numbed from the idiocy going on, I’m just primed to go off.

I read a word or two and off I go. This has happened more than once.

The things being said by news people, politicians and others right now have me reeling. Humans are frail, weak and not very smart—self included, but at least some of us have an instinct for self-preservation and the protection of future generations. Others? I wonder.

“We’ve got to come up with better answers.”

How about border control as an answer?

How about banning immigration by Muslims?

How about increasing surveillance of mosques which are reported to be riddled with Islamists?

It’s like no kind of law stops any kind of criminal from doing anything.

And what’s even more mind blowing than that is when a criminal is about to commit a violent crime against you, but you stop them by shooting them dead where they stand with your gun.

‘I told a friend today that California has the strictest gun control laws in America so how did these guns happen to get into the state. Of course he said that they were brought in from Arizona or Idaho a very easy state to get weapons. You can’t win with these people.’

And if the US banned all guns, the illegal aliens would be backpacking in guns instead of dope because guns will be more profitable.

If you went back in time and killed the guy who invented guns, it still would not help because someone else would eventually come up with the idea.

That is why gun control does not work. It makes you less secure not more.

The proper response is asking what the limit is on pipe bomb sales in those states.

What I can’t figure out is how those guns are well behaved when they’re in gun friendly states, but once they cross the border into California, NJ, NY, MD, etc., they suddenly go on a rampage.
