O'Malley Omnibus "work groups" - Please Read

6-Pack · Feb 1, 2013

I just received this message from a bird flying past my window...any insight?

My concern is that [House] Speaker Busch has appointed several workgroups to try to deal with the Governor’s omnibus gun legislation. The groups are a little bipartisan, but I look it as a potential for being co-opted. Anyway, I am not sure that the workgroups have hit the press and that it has been made public. You might want to turn that wheel if you feel so inclined.

Say what?

Multifaceted · Feb 1, 2013

Any more info on these workgroups, names, affiliations? Where and when do they meet?

6-Pack · Feb 1, 2013

To be honest, I'm confused as to exactly what they are. I can ask more info. This source told me about Senator Miller not liking the licensing before he announced it.

What would be helpful to know?

Are they inter-personnel within the legislature, or are they extracurricular? If yes to the latter, then where do they meet?

I dont think they would be stupid enough to violate Sunshine laws ... but I'm often wrong.

I hear you, man, but hey were brazen enough to disable our forum, weren't they? I'm not chiming in on conspiracies, and perhaps you are correct, but it wouldn't take much other than a casual conversation passed along to the right person. Stupid? Probably not. Bold? ...

While this is a strong possibility, there's also the possibility that the hosting company was the target, that we were caught in a wider ddos, or that anon is involved. That said, the members of DU and DK can be rather savvy and I'm sure they've got members willing to rent out a botnet for a bit.

I was wondering why I couldn't access today. Was the hosts DDOSed?

DD214 has already confirmed the attack was directly against us, not the host. We were the target.

WTF?

Who would ddos a gun site for such a tiny state? We're Maryland. In the grand scheme of things we don't matter. Like Delaware or Vermont.

This shiz is crazy.

We're not that little right now(17,000+ members). We(Maryland) are the frontline right now in this battle. It's not coincidence that the Dem. Senators and the President decided to hold a retreat in Annapolis on gun bill day. I wouldn't be surprised to see national media coverage in Annapolis on Wednesday.

Putting the pieces together, shutting us down at the time they did today seemed to coincide with the start of some rumors on Facebook that the rally was cancelled.(which it isn't)

Remember that with NY having passed their bill we're the only state left where there's a serious chance of such severe gun restrictions as we are facing being put in place any time soon. We might be a small state but we still are a state that can give the anti-gun organizations a chance to claim some kind of a "victory" when they go pitching for donations.

Holy hell Orwell really was right.

Things just got serious.

6-Pack · Feb 1, 2013

I am pissed about the Denial of Service attacks too (and ripping on new members, see the Watercooler).

I'd like to get back to my source within the next day or so, so I can pass information along before the 6th.

Aside from Multifaceted's questions, does anyone have anything else they want to know?

I doubt Anon was involved, they are a chaotic neutral, so I can't see them being against pro-gun advocates.

Anonymous is hardly the only hacking group out there, just like the Ravens aren't the only football team.
