With survivors of the Feb. 14 mass shooting in Parkland, Fla. — which killed 17 — and other advocates calling for Congress to take action to prevent future school shootings, gun laws like Maryland’s are being debated on a national scale.

The pro-gun-control Brady Campaign ranks Maryland’s gun laws the seventh-strictest in the country.
