I may have missed it but, this is the first reference to the UNHOLY amounts of taxpayers money that have been poured into this and a couple related programs elsewhere in MD. But, mainly the "main lab" (choke).
I see this as a potential peek into the oppositions playbook. That is, with a Governor who has declared no new taxes and, "We will find a way to live within our means and within our seams for the next 4 years AND we'll start THIS YEAR by bringing an end to inflating the budget year after year,"well, the "throw taxpayers dollars at every problem" libs in MD are scrambling to find "Peters" to rob, in order to pay for their "Pauls' (all the endless entitlement and 'community enhancement' programs they've promised their sheeple constituents).
It is an exaggeration but, I still gotta say it; if we could find a way to tie "Here's some dollars you can shift to fund all the 'community enhancement' and 'after school' programs you've promised" in the minds of these tax and spend nuts, gun control could possibly crumble like the Berlin Wall!
I wonder if it wou,d even be possible to "add up" how much of taxpayers dollars are used to prop up all the provisions of most of MD's gun control laws?
I remember the numbers involved in Canada's similar intrusions playing a major part in eventually "waking up" the masses in Canada, and demanding change.
EDIT: Too funny; Erwos, it appears I was still hunting and pecking as you submitted your post; and, Jim12, your point about rationality never entering into this before is valid. What I see as different now is the END (at least for the next 4 years) of their dream world where money just keeps growing on trees, year after year.
It always, "all about the money." My (our?) position being one based on principle (and the Constitution) it is easy for me to lose sight of my oppositions perspective which, again, is all about the money . . .
