Your arrogance and stubborn refusal of compromise with more moderate members of your own party managed to help preserve what little is left of individual liberty in Maryland for at least another year! Bravo!

I'm skeptical it was Atterbeary who killed this. When the Senate made the very odd "amish" amendment I suspected something was up. There simply are not many Amish settlements in MD, and I highly doubt anyone would prosecute them anyway. Very very few bills are killed outright with a vote. They die slowly of process. Zirkin was just the hit man. There were some others in the Senate I have no doubt that were looking for cover. The last minute "conference" was I think to give her some cover. I think leadership shined her and used her as a tool.
Quite possible, but she didn't do herself any favors with her pronouncements, either. Lord Bloomberg will be very displeased with her failure.
Maybe Bloomturd will say to her, in his Seinfeld Soup Nazi voice, “No campaign donation for you! Do not come back!”.

I'm thinking more in a Darth Vader voice "You have failed me for the last time." followed by some guttural sounds.

What actually happened ? When I went to bed, these all looked like a sure thing ? Not complaining !
I'm confused as well. At 11:00pm I thought the background check for long guns was on its way to Hogan's desk for signature or veto.
I'm seeing conflicting reports. Was it killed?

kilt dead.
Dead letter, as MJD described it. I like that term.
We were getting reports on MDS last night with 30 or so minutes left to go that Atterbeary was invoking Busch's name to get provisions from her previous bill incorporated and basically indignant about what the Senate judiciary committee did to the companion version. This is the same delegate that complained to the Baltimore Sun about her bill being "gutted". She had a take it or leave it opportunity and decided to leave it and have her minions blame Zirkin.Quite possible, but she didn't do herself any favors with her pronouncements, either.
