@QasimRashid While I agree that something has to be done about done about school shootings, look at a city like Baltimore where there are over 300 people murdered and hundreds more injured by guns, (the vast majority by illegal guns) and nothing is being done about it. (So I blame the Democratic government just as much)

@Refoel You seem to not understand that gun laws need to be federal for meaningful enforcement. What are Dems supposed to do about illegal guns from out of state? Set up a checkpoint and lock down the city? There's a reason why red states have a 40% higher murder rate than blue states. It's b/c GOP refuses meaningful gun safety legislation. Let's pass federal legislation first, then talk about illegal guns in cities.

@QasimRashid I think of cities like Baltimore because I live in Baltimore. As a Democrat I think they are using the gun discussion as a red herring to get our continued support. I don't own a gun, never used a gun. If criminals are buying illegal guns, we need to be willing to punish the offenders both the sellers and the buyers. Let the chips fall where they may. Long harsh sentences is the only way.

I have no problem with stricter laws as well. But they must be enforced.
