Maryland should make some gun laws so something like this never happens again. Do it for the children.

No need for them to beat that dead horse anymore now that they are banned.

If SHA circles the Park with a salt line, will it keep the ghost guns in or out?

They did!! Ghost guns are banned, if they were not banned the officer would have never recovered the gun after the perp tossed it while running.

They'd have to borrow the mosquito trucks and sage too.
