[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he doing this? We are complying with the constitution? I thought SCOTUS wanted states to decide these issues. How can Hogan do this unilaterally? I am already so scared about gun violence in this area.

I don’t know who “we” is, but the State of Maryland was not complying with the Constitution. Hogan merely saved the State the costs of civil rights actions that were already being drafted.

“Gun violence” is a fake buzzword. Guns are inanimate. They have no will of their own.  They are not self-locomoting. We don’t hear about “baseball bat” or “kitchen scissors” or “deliberate motor vehicle crash” or “toilet tank cover” violence.

Call it what it is:  criminal violence and punish the criminals instead of decent people. [/quote]

Let’s call this what it is: an argument that is made purely in bad faith and ignores reality completely.  There’s no point in debating with you when you are so far gone, and I hope no one engages with this for the 30 millionth time.

We’re past this now.  People are getting mowed down in churches, malls, schools, Fourth of July parades.  Rich, poor, this is everybody’s problem and we don’t have time to engage with nonsense like the above.  Enough, let’s move on.[/quote]
