school shooting

Good thing that had laws in place that would have prevented the shooter from acquiring the gun legally.

Minimum age in Maryland = 21
Shooter reported as a student at the school.

Laws DO help

7 of 10 states with strongest gun laws have lowest gun death rates. Could be coincidence, but probably not entirely.

True, probably not entirely.

But in my opinion, suicides should not be lumped in with shooting others, those are very different things, and including them can lead to very misleading data.

so this report must be mistaken because Maryland has the 3rd or 4th strictest gun laws in the nation
