Shootings are surging in Baltimore despite the presence of bans on “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines, two of the Democrats’ go-to gun controls.
Maryland banned “high capacity” magazines and a variety of “assault weapons” via the Firearm Safety Act of 2013. That Act also required would-be handgun buyers to submit fingerprints to the state police as a part of the registration scenario.
On March 27, 2017, Breitbart News reported the criminal use of “high capacity” magazines was at a seven-year high. In other words, the ban had only impacted law-abiding citizens. Criminals still had – and still used – the prohibited magazines.
Now the Baltimore Sun’s Justin Fenton reports the shootings in Baltimore are on track to surpass the numbers seen last year, and those were up nearly 80 percent over figures from 2014.
Fenton noted, “In 2018 total non-fatal and fatal shootings in Baltimore were up 79 percent from 2014. And this year is ahead of last year’s pace. Unbelievable.”
Similar results have arisen in other places where gun control upon gun control has been instituted. For example, California has some of the most stringent gun controls in the U.S. Those controls include an “assault weapons” ban, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, gun registration requirements, a requirement that would-be gun buyers get a safety certificate from the state, a ban on campus carry, a “good cause” requirement for concealed carry issuance, and much, much, more.

Democrats are thoroughly incapable of governing.
Anyone notice that Lyndon Johnson’s remarks about the 1968 Gun control Law “making America safe” when he signed it, have disappeared from the internet?
There used to be several web pages on it but all I get now is “Error 404”.
It is as if his remarks have been scrubbed from the internet.
It’s a SPECIAL town-—spawned - Fancy Dumb NANCY - u no.....

Gun control laws only serve to disarm the law abiding, criminals do not heed laws of any kind.
He basically stated that he was today “making America safe” by taking guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. “All America should hail this day!”-LBJ

” “Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-LBJ
