The MSP have been portrayed as the enemy of the 2A and gun-ownership. I’m not sure that is fair or accurate. They have the daunting and thankless task of writing regulation to try to enforce a stupid and nonsensical law.
We know it's the political appointee brass and some of us have talked with the plainclothes Troopers in Annapolis and if you get the right one while he's on his break or no one else is around they'll tell you they're on our side.
More line officers need to learn, that their political speech is as protected as their right to arms, and they need to use it! What would the general assembly say if 500 uniformed officers, troopers, sheriffs deputies had shown up to testify in direct opposition to this shamnisty with their union's or FOP's backing? It would be hard for the "brass" to condemn them, and certainly they would not be able to retaliate against them for their free speech.
We had a dozen or so off duty Troopers in street clothes at the rallies in February and March with us and on our side. Marcus Brown made it a point to prowl the edges of the crowd and I guarandamntee you those poor bastards got assigned to a barracks on the other end of the state from home and they knew that would happen but they came anyway.
