"The rapid-fire weapons do not improve the livability for the citizens of the state of Maryland."

Even though the murder weapon was an AR-15, only one shot at a time was taken. So even if the ban were not only 100% enforced but even 100% complied with, a much taller order, the same murders could have still been perpetrated with bolt or lever action rifles.

By the way, note the criterion for his support of this legislation: if it doesn't improve livability, it can be banned.

If the shooters had been forced by bans to use a bolt action, the wounded boy would probably have been killed by the more accurate rifle.

(Gun control DOES kill.)
