Gunman David Katz, 24, legally bought the two handguns — a .45-caliber and a .9mm — in his hometown of Baltimore, Md. earlier this month and affixed an after-market laser sight to one of the weapons, officials said.

Maryland has strict gun laws and the process for buying a handgun is complicated. A buyer must be fingerprinted with the Maryland State Police (MSP), must submit an application to MSP to receive a Handgun Qualification License (HQL card), must take a firearms safety course, must verify their HQL card to an FFL dealer, submit an ATF background check, and wait seven days before they're able to purchase a single handgun.
A recent study from the CATO Institute ranked Maryland as the 46th worst state for gun rights — with only Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, and Hawaii ranking as more hostile states for gun owners.

"All the common sense regulation won't stop this sort of slaughter" so the only solution is to take guns out of circulation. They will twist the narrative to whatever gets them to the point they want to make.
The seemingly taboo subject of mental health is the biggest barrier. Mental health breakdown is what we in the gun community want to crow about but any mention of restrictions based on mental health records or pharmacy logs are immediately shot down.
I think the proliferation of psychoactive drugs and drugs in general are an issue. I wish those who oppose using psychiatric drugs and history would be honest and admit their opposition comes from a very personal place

Agreed and I think taking rights away is a legal act and not medical.
