How many more mass shootings need to occur before our elected officials not kowtow to the NRA?

Does Maryland have the death penalty? If so, Jarrod Ramos will be immediately executed after his speedy trial. Trump Supreme Court will be eliminating Death Penalty Appeals.

1. Mass shootings will continue so long as Dems refuse to repeal the 2A and refuse to confiscate guns.

As long as we allow guns to circulate freely in society, mass shootings will occur.

8. You blame mass shootings on Democrats and not the NRA?

2. As long as.the NRA is around, forgeddaboudit

The organization needs to be knee-capped before thing one changes! Once Newtown happened.and all those kids.were murdered and nothing.changed, and then after Vegas and bump stocks weren't banned, the writing was on the wall : Mass Shootings will always happen until the NRA is taken down. Sorry but you're gonna have to get used to it if you're not already.

3. Supreme Court will nullify gun control laws

I don't think people have quite internalized how bad the Supreme Court is going to be.

4. There is no number and they never will.

This question is asked every time and the answer is the same every time. Never. It’s never going to stop and they’re never going to do anything about it.

Enough.

6. Maryland abolished the death penalty five years ago

There were no executions there from 1962 to 1993, only five from 1994 to 2005, and none since

The Democratic governor Glendening had announced a moratorium on executions in 2002, which the following Republican governor ended with two executions (2004 and 2005)

Of the 85 persons executed from 1923 on, 65 were African-American; 58 of the 85 executions were for murder, and the rest for rape; of the 27 persons executed for rape, 22 were African-American. The last execution for rape was in 1949. Four executions from 1957 to 1961 were by gas (all African-American); before that there were 76 hangings; and since then, five lethal injections (three African-American)

7. Not until the NRA's GOTV ability is exceeded or stopped

The NRA has the ability to turn out millions of single issue voters. Until they can no longer do that or gun control groups can match or exceed them, they will retain their power.

9. Maryland abolished the death penalty in 2013 thanks to Martin O'Malley

10. They've shot the babies, they've shot the teenagers, they've shot the movie goers,

they've shot the gays, they've shot the people praying, they've shot the journalists, they've even shot Republicans playing baseball. If all that hasn't stopped them from genuflecting to the NRA, nothing will.

11. maybe but only maybe if some nut goes crazy in congress

maybe then something might happen but even then the nra and some right wing nuts would still spin it as a positive.

13. The target should be Republican US Senators from states with Democratic Governors and

Republican US House Members from swing to Democratic leaning districts.

[Bettie]

12. Nothing happened after a bunch of first graders were murdered

why would we even believe that anything will ever change?

I'm betting that Ramos will be pardoned since he's one of AgentOrange's people.
