    I read this "Thread posted on USMessage Board Forum Regarding Connecticut Gun Owners, dated 2/27/2014, and wondered if it had any relevance to MD gun control laws?

    Title 18 of the United States Code: Conspiracy Against Rights
    http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/342257-connecticut-gun-owners-threaten-violence-29.html


    Title 18 of the United States Code provides as follows:
    § 241. Conspiracy against rights.

    If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

    If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

    They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    § 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law.
    Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    Have to prove the conspiracy first, just passing legislation and enforcing laws on the books doesn't cut it. And you also have to prove intent.

    What did you have in mind?

    I just read the working in the law and it seemed to apply to the MD CC and FSA. But I did not consider what would have to be proven. Those B.......s in Ann-a-politics cover their left leaning feet well.

    Damn shame we couldn't prove something.

    For passing the laws , not gona happen.

    For future refrence , our Brothers to the north make frequent threat and use of "Deprevation of Civil Right under Color of Law " actions against jurisdictions who improperly harass lawful gunowners/ carriers.

    But we first have to gain/ establish rights for going about armed , before we can sue for have them improperly abrigded.
