It was only a matter of time until we had an incident like what happened yesterday at Reservoir High School with a student with a loaded gun. While the specifics of the situation are still developing we need to recognize how many guns are too frequently carried in our community. While Maryland has more laws regulating how guns can be carried than other states we shouldn't be surprised that a juvenile was able to obtain possession of a loaded unregistered gun. This past weekend we saw 2 people killed in a murder/suicide in Kings Contrivance. We have 120 guns for every 100 people in the United States. We would be shocked if we knew how many Howard County residents owned legal semi-automatic weapons. Unfortunately, the attribute our country is known for is the "land of an armed citizenry."
P.S.
Happy Holidays everyone----- just don't read the newspapers??
