Official February 6th day of event thread.

John Wagner @WPJohnWagner, Maryland political reporter for The Washington Post, writes:

Md. Sen. President Mike Miller on O'Malley's gun bill: "Some parts ... are going to be tweaked. Some parts might be omitted."

Brian Frosh, chairman of today's Maryland Senate gun hearing, says he will try to limit testimony to four hours from each side.

based on past turnouts, I doubt the other side could even fill 2 hours.

Looking for bollinger gunsmithing here at the rally. Ease pm me if you get this! I feel naked

vette97 · Feb 6, 2013

Miller talking about splitting this bill into two or three parts. Each part would focus on a different issue, he said, with one addressing gun licensing. Not good.

Yea typical maneuvering to try and divide us. His problem now is that there are thousands of us. This really impressive.

I count 8 news cameras plus wjz, wbal, abc7, fox microphones at podium

Yes, and while most of them have left the podium area there are dozens of photographers and reporters here.

"As many as 3,000 gun-rights advocates have begun amassing outside the Maryland State House to protest "

Wow guys, just wow!

"Miller told the Senate he expects hundreds to want to testify and advised the committee members to stay in their seats throughout the hearing."

That would be a nice change

That is impressive.

Just asked one of the aides about it. She advised:

1. It is not their intention to stop at any particular count.
2. They have never had this many people for a hearing.
3. They will cut off at 1240 to start the hearing at 1300

"They have never had this many people for a hearing" - this speaks volumes

WJZ covering the story http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/02/06/gun-control-opponents-rally-in-annapolis/

Pat Warren of WJZ reports,

That bill would largely infringe on a citizen’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

They think splitting the bills will kill morale. They are wrong, it will only motivate people MORE

2nd=Good+Substantial · Feb 6, 2013

Just spent 30 minutes flipping between WJZ & WBAL noon TV broadcasts. Mention of Obama's five minute visit, mention of O'Malley addressing GA but no mention or pictures of rally or lines to testify.

Go figure.

Wraith · Feb 6, 2013

Sounds like everyone needs to swarm Miller's office, and let him know, no more bills, no more bs, no more.

gamer_jim · Feb 6, 2013

Crazy, in standing in line now to sign in to testify. Easily 500 of us here. So far only seen 2 people with buttons against us.

No way im going to make it to the sign in booth by 1245.

Miller has made prior public comments questioning the legality of licensing a right. Maybe he feels killing licensing would improve chances on other issues.

One of the ones stuck at work You guys are the Sh*7T!!!!!

NatBoh · Feb 6, 2013

There are still a couple hundred in front of us waiting to sign up, and apparently hundreds behind us.

I'm proud of my fellow Marylander's today!!

IMPORTANT!!! Frosh is splitting it up by bill. Making sign up last longer. They are closing the doors at 1pm. If you haven't signed up by then, you can't testify. Doesn't matter if you are in line or not!!!! Move quickly!!!!

I have been in line for 2 hours. Del Dwyer reassured us a half hour ago that if in line you get to sign. I really hope my 4'x4' sign got into some good pics because I will miss the rally because at this rate I will be another 1/2 hour. I hope my sign makes it into a van or at least someone is still with it.

JamesBailey · Feb 6, 2013

Keep up the good fight Marylanders - love and encouragement to you from great Commonwealth of Virginia!

Politicians from across country watching you guys...

Half-cocked · Feb 6, 2013

Splitting their gun-grab into multiple bills is like a MIRV missile attack - trying to overwhelm our defenses using sheer numbers, hoping one or two will hit.
