    Someone needs to walk up to every mommy and tell her there isn't enough money on the planet for her to buy action let alone let them demand it.

    Meanwhile feel free to mention those of us who sold our homes and took our well paying jobs to Free America thus depriving their thieving selves of our tax dollars.

    PS- feel free to perform my avatar for them and tell them I send it from the bottom of my Free American heart.

    I forget who asked about how many Baltimore homicides were done using long guns, but a quick google search finds a Baltimore sun article where they wrap up the crime statistics during 2017: 2017-homicide-data-breakdown



    first two paragraphs:



    Bold emphasis is mine. Always astounding 86% of the "victims" have criminal records. That tells you these are crimes of drugs and gangs.
    So 6 of 301 homicides involving a firearm in Baltimore was with a long gun in 2017. At 1 out of 50, that's two percent. At the same time, Baltimore had something like 700 to 1000 drug overdose deaths. Yet, I bet there is more proposed legislation to address the imaginary long gun problem than there is to reduce overdose deaths in Maryland, which are a true epidemic.

    It's more than just Baltimore. Frederick County had 60 to 80 overdose deaths in 2018 (depending on where you source the numbers). I couldn't find the number of long gun associated deaths, but the total number of gun related deaths (involving all types of firearms and including suicides) is approximately 10 per year in the county. Most likely long guns don't account for more than 2-3 of these.
