It's insane to think that the UN would do anything at all against a permanent member of the Security Council (a country with veto power, by the way, and a ton of allies).
We could sign a resolution tomorrow turning over all US sovereignty to the UN with the promise that we'll work in the salt...
I'm just curious how many of those applications got approved with good and substantial reason listed as "all lawful purposes".
Until the answer to that is "100%, minus those that are ineligible to own a gun for whatever reason" rather than "0%" stuff is still screwed up.
Everyone can see their own posts fine, but no one but your Facebook friends can see your post.
What bothers me is the comment about the Maryland Health Exchange that's public. Obviously they're allowing comments about other political issues, but they're trying to silence us. This is active...
That's 100% what's going on. Posts are hidden by default, which means that only you and your Facebook friends can see your comment. If they choose to unhide your comment it is visible to everyone and they're only unhiding praise for Hogan. There's active moderators though so someone in the...
Yeah, if they have a post marked as hidden it's only visible to the person who wrote the post as well as that person's friends. If that's what's happening then someone in the governor's office is moderating so at least *someone* is reading our complaints.
I haven't seen him overtly rock the boat on anything controversial and I can't imagine that he's going to start anytime soon. Not saying that he's not doing good work, he's changing a ton, but he doesn't seem too interested in the political policy side of being governor. In my opinion, that's...
As the state employee who would be given the project to compile this dataset and map it, I can assure you that this map does not exist. If it does happen to exist, it's not done with modern GIS and thus it's relatively useless. And if I ever was given this project, there would be one less state...
I really wish we had statistics on what ad campaigns or rationale actually converted people. I think we could make a lot of progress if we took this as a mathematical/advertising thing rather than just putting out a flier that we think would work and hoping for the best.
The issue is that you can't find those people in MD generally since they don't have the carry permits to protect themselves from those scenarios in the first place.
I'd rather give money to the Pink Pistols rather than the NRA. That's how we're going to win long term.
My CZ 75 SP-01 didn't come with a casing, but I knew it beforehand and had it transferred at Arthur's Shooter's Supply in Berlin, MD (he's a type 07 FFL and he offers spent shell casings for like $15 I think). Not that it was a huge deal, but it was a big waste of time for something that's so...
There's a big difference between being appreciative of what has been accomplished while still wanting more or just taking a 100% "all or nothing" approach while not giving credit where credit is due within the iterative process towards restoring rights. What has been accomplished has been...
100% this. I work in state government (not a department that would help us) and there's a set of internal processes that only someone familiar with a given department would be aware of. If you email _________ a given issue will be taken care of, and if you email _______ in another office another...
This is a big win for us. Hardly anyone in the legislative branch has thought about passing anything remotely pro-gun in a long time. Can you imagine this passing last year? Yes, it's a budget thing, but it's also a pro-gun thing that got approved in Maryland and we can't forget that. There's no...
O'Malley for sure. I think Hillary is way more smart than O'Malley and I'd rather have an incompetent person who I don't agree with in the White House than a competent person who I don't agree with in the White House. The only reason O'Malley got as far as he did in MD is because he had the...
