Baltimore mayor calls for attention given to 'suburban white community' after mass shooting: 'We as a country still allow the sanctity of American guns to outweigh the sanctity of Americans’ lives.' READ:
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott criticized the attention being given to"suburban white" communities in the wake of mass shootings following Sunday's block party shooting that left two dead and dozens wounded.
Any mass shooting or murder that occurs with an illegal gun demands to be treated the same because they should not happen but do, according to Scott. "No one is saying that people shouldn't be able to have their rights to have weapons, but those who shouldn't have them — and it shouldn't be easier for a young person to get a gun than for me to go to CVS and buy my allergy medication."
Scott disagreed with the notion his government did not have the people's trust and suggested that the city, having come out of the Freddie Gray unrest, is seen by many across the country as one of reform.
