but you're on point it is an inner city issue...let the counties be ccw ......I can give a f*** less about Baltimore city it's Godforsaken
I think you'll find the western part of the state quite different.
Racism of the elected elite.
They fear a black man with a gun.
Maryland is, to a large extent, a matrix of people:
- dependent or reliant on government for protection and/or sustinence.
- raised in gentrified subcultures to whom self-reliance and independence is a foreign concept.
- indoctrinated from childhood to believe that subservience to government authority is natural.
- who work within the government/contractor complex and thus subject to the paradigm that people outside government need to be 'governed', rather than served.
Nothing in Maryland history like the civil war, the Klan, or the king riots could ever suggest such a thing. I am shocked and disappoited that years of whitewash have not put such evil rumors to rest.
Sadly, no amount of whitewashing will hide that amount of blood on the walls.
Liberal post-racialism might have a chance, though.
Because of the demographics and votes. Generally, usually, normally, blue=anti-2A stance. To be fair, there are some pro 2A blue folks.
Generally, usually, normally, red=pro 2A stance.
Look at a map of Maryland during the last election, or the one before that, and the one prior to that one. If MD's blue was any darker, we'd be black.
It's a more or less a one party state, run sadly, by the blue party.
Okay! before I get the, living in the past rhetoric, hear me completely out. The Black american family has been destroyed from this countries inception. ( I am not saying this is an excuse for behavior but it is the reason) The inner cities of America are the way they are due to institutional racism. During Jim Crow which, existed in every sourthen state in this country, including Maryland, the Black family was intact. Once the civil rights hit in the late 1950's and 1960's, the black family structure was intact. In the early 70's the Black family in the city was escaping to the suburbs and growing. Drugs in the form of Herion were allowed to infiltrate the inner city,along with unemployement, destroyed the black family. Now what you see are the fruits of that labor. I say this as an explaination not to point fingers or blame. However this problem will get worse and because we live in the same nation it will spread. So unless the cancer is fixed it will infiltrate future generations. So as they take all rights away for the fear of the black man every one's rights will get caught up in the wash. It is about control and the focus on controlling the masses by dangling the fear of the big black (Latino, Arhab) criminial.
Oh an excuse my spelling!

I agree with everything but your last point. That's utter ********! Those of us working in the government are no different than the general population--we are not politicians. It's certain politicians that are the problem.

Training.
My granddaughter is taking a course in Criminal Justice at MC. The instructor, ex-LEO, asked the class how many would be dismayed if he came to class open carrying. More than half the hands shot up.
So he asks why?
"I'd be afraid you'd snap and start shooting up the classroom" was a typical response. He responds that he's carried a firearm for decades as a LEO; would they not assume he's not a threat?
Apparently not.
Please note that they have been conditioned into a state of fear of firearms.
Now, my oldest daughter attended Blair HS in her youth; they had a rifle team on site. Presumably they were taught firearm safety. She is not terrified at the thought of guns.
So, I say again; it's training. Kids have been trained to fear these things, and emphatically NOT trained in safety procedures. Eddie Eagle training could be provided free to every middle and high school in the state, but this is not desired; someone in charge likes the fear. Or else, someone in charge is also scared.
I dislike having children taught by frightened ignoramuses; I dislike even more having to over-pay for it through my tax bill.
It's not race; it's fear and stupidity that are the problems.
