Don’t they have waiting periods or bans on assault weapons or limits on magazine clip size or licensing or registration?

So Baltimore really does have potential as a tourist attraction.

Did you feel like there was an attempt at adequate security? Isn't it Tunisia where the museum attack happened?

One thing I've noticed on cruises is that the ships management doesn't seem to be doing much if anything to assure security for the tours they sponsor.

What is Islam's death toll, I wonder?

The Radicals are attacking to end tourism so they have to depend on Islam for food.
Was there four years ago and went on tours, all was not bad.
Last year it seemed shady and someone tried to run off with a handicapped relative in a wheelchair in order to demand money. This happened within 100 feet of onlooking security that did nothing.
Last year we never got off the dock, the place was unsafe, you could feel it.

Neither. But you would think it is safe as they do not allow Confederate flags!

Anyone touristing in this part of the world today should have their head examined.

I agree. I last hit Tunis and Turkey last year and now it has spun out of control.

Don’t blame you, Tunis sucks.
Went to Turkey and that was still nice but going bad fast.
