A shooting that broke out over an argument at a 2-year-old's birthday party in Maryland sent seven people to the hospital on Saturday night.

The shooting took place outside of an apartment complex in Camp Springs, where about 12 people were in attendance at the party.https://abcnews.go.com/US/people-shot-y ... d=65176207

Just another weekend of crime in the Baltimore/ PG County area where guns are illegal.

Sad.

But...but... it’s their 2nd Amendment right to be armed!

They probably bought their guns “ for protection “ . Or to feel tough and manly.

Seriously, too many people with too many guns. Our country is insane

Guns are not illegal in Baltimore. They do have very strict gun laws. You have to have a state of Maryland gun permit (apparently hard to get) to carry a concealed weapon, and you can't just drive around with a gun. You have to be coming home from a shooting range, gun shop, or hunting grounds and vice versa. However, rifles and other long guns like rifles don't require a state gun permit.
I found this re gun laws in Maryland:

..." the Maryland General Assembly approved legislation imposing significant new restrictions on gun ownership. The bills ban the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms that they define as assault weapons, limit magazine capacity to ten rounds, require that handgun purchasers be fingerprinted and pass a training class in order to obtain a handgun license, and bar persons who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health institution from possessing firearms. Martin O'Malley Governor at the time, signed the legislation into law on May 16, 2013"

Did you not read the article, or simply not comprehend it? Someone approached the group at the party, exchanged words and started firing. It does not say anywhere that anyone at the party had a gun or fired a gun.

But the gun was in the possession of someone who approached the party.
