What's the word I'm looking for......?

HELLYEAH.

Mike Miller, too. Oh, heck... toss Dumais and Busch on the pyre, while we're at it.

We need to find the audio (and video if it is available) of Mike bush of the House floor stating that if he can vote for this bill (FSA2013) with Beretta in his district, then anyone can. And his comment about Beretta not going anywhere.

Alright folks there is the fire mission, go, hunt, find, return with the above for Karma prize for the first person to find each.

This would be good if they completely moved out of Maryland but their corperate offices are staying in MD. So MD will still get tax money! I want them to leave and hurt this F*n state.

Production completely moved by 2015, then give them a couple of years to move the compete administrative organization and leave just a small group to support Government issues, perhaps from NOVA.

This may or may not help us. Sometimes, things have to get worse before they can get better.

This does send a message that there are ramifications for actions. Personally, I do not blame Beretta. Thing is, if Beretta and its lobbyists could not crush SB281, the primary went the way it went, etc., I think the ONLY hope in Maryland is the 4th Circuit or SCOTUS.

If I am going to stay in Maryland, I think I need to resign myself to the fact that the 2nd Amendment will be wittled away little by little as they can do it unless it is stopped by the Courts.

Beretta's lobbyist got what they wanted as far as changes with regards to OAL for copycats, yes their lobbyist and the CEO of American operations spoke on the bill and the chilling affect it would have on the company. But I don't think the lobbied on the whole bill, just the parts that directly affected them.

On the bright side, the Berretta facilities will make a great daycare facility for illegals ... or a turnkey FEMA camp.

I have better idea, a state of the art firearms training facility. It already has a large caliber rated indoor range, plenty of room for classrooms and perhaps a little simunition training???

Now THAT would be sticking our finger in the eye of O'Malley, Brown and Frosh.

Hell, we could invite all of them to the grand opening.

Many have said similarly of Manchin on a few topics, IIRC... IMO, it's the main reason he's been moderating his positions the last several years.

If I worked at Beretta, and they offered to move me out of Maryland --all you'd see is the "Welcome to Maryland" sign spinning in my dust and maybe a middle finger.

Mike Miller represents that District!!! Oh wonderful. I hope there is a Republican running for that seat that can latterly rub his nose in it!!!

Never going to happen. That county is more liberal than Karl Marx, and he's the most powerful man in Maryland.

The sad truth is that the majority of the citizens of this state favor "gun control". The people like us who believe that the Constitution means what it says and should be enforced/protected/etc. are, sadly, in the minority here, and that isn't going to change. You saw the outcome with SB281. Billions of 2A supports showed up at the hearings, and it didn't change a thing. Not one day of missed work was worth it in the end. They don't care about us. They don't care what the Constitution says. They care about getting reelected, either so they can become career Maryland politicians, so they can position themselves for a different office, or so they can build contacts and make millions when they leave office. Two words: term limits. Until every elected position has a term limit, our rights and freedoms will not be safe.

This morning, while listening to WYPR, Fraser Smith had a most interesting commentary on Beretta leaving Maryland. I almost drove off the road I was so pissed at what he said. Basically, he says good riddance.

You sir are a rockstar, and your prize is a date with the ever fabulous Andi Morony.

I'm not worthy. I don't know how much time I spent looking for that. I fail.

DC-W · Jul 24, 2014
