Baltimore mayor calls for 'real gun law changes' after deadly block party shooting

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says the city is "not going to stop" until they find those responsible for the deadly shooting at a block party over the weekend that left two people dead and more than two dozen injured. And he told "CBS Mornings," "We need all of Congress to get on board and enact real gun law changes."

Since when did criminals obey gun laws

[shaalexis]

Criminals DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LAWS 😂

[hueyfreeman]

This kid is in over his head. But his pride won't let him admit it.

[shawnsta]

Not the guns fault . The fault falls on your own.

[GeorgeSkinner-eqjd]

The mayor is a fool. The people are the problem not the guns. Fix the people you fix the problems.

[jayfitzgerald]

This is the problem in Baltimore leadership who lacks accountability and looks to Washington to clean up their mess. Baltimore needs an overhaul across the board from the Mayor to Chief of Police get them all out.

He doesn't have a clue what he is doing

[GnarlsDarwin]

Baltimore has those laws…what he should be calling for is an ethical revival.

It all starts at home, bring back functional 2 parent households. And watch violent crime decrease.

[jaydontez]

It’s the parents first. They let they kids out late. Plus if you get caught in possession of a firearm with out a permit, you should get a mandatory 10 yrs, and a federal charge on top of that.

We need more criminal laws not gun laws

[Liberty]

New gun laws needed:
1. Underage criminals caught with a gun should be treated as adults.
2. Criminals using firearms when committing the crime should receive severe prison sentences regardless of their age.

Let try these two to start.

What were 13 year old children doing up at 12:30 in the morning? We need to have a conversation about family & family values!

[vincentbugalia]

How about some parental responsibility laws? How about curfews in violent neighborhoods? How about black culture in America doing something about how their kids are raised instead of screaming black lives matter?

[silentmajority]

They are not buying guns legally
Triggers are not the problem

[arcraider]

As long as they keep blaming the gun . They will never overcome this problem and he knows it 😢

[magnificentone]

Start with block parties! This happen in a predominantly black community? He’s too young to understand leadership.

[Shorty_Lickens]

I dont particularly love guns, but Baltimore used to have the strictest gun laws in the country and they also had the worst crime in the country at the same time. Maybe the gun laws are not the main problem here. Maybe its education and economics, which are problems too big for a town already deep in trouble.
Note: I don't know if crime went down after the Supreme Court declared all their gun bans unconstitutional.

[beverlyhurd]

What kind of stupid does it take to want to blame guns instead of the people using the guns? Is that what is known as morbidly stupid?

[jaysouth]

Has he blamed the mythical white people yet?
