To the layperson listening to the radio news, because of the semantics involved, it makes it seem like we're against fingerprinting for carry permits.

that's all I'm saying.

The media doesn't get the difference so the public doesn't either.

 

[redeemed.man]

Understood. I am against fingerprinting for anything gun related until they start requiring these illegals and dead people to be fingerprinted to vote.

Some of us consider fingerprinting to be a demeaning, degrading act that is normally associated with being booked for a crime. To those who say it's required for many jobs, the simple answer is that choosing to apply for a job that requires it is a choice, not exercise of a Constitutional Right.

Add the time, expense, personal humiliation, and the "future crime" database you are being entered into, as well as the MD Gen. Ass'y's knowledge and intention that the exercise be an additional hurdle to pass in order to exercise your rights without adding any additional level of security that isn't covered by the 4473, and you've got something that people ought to be fired up about. I think it's outrageous.

Well stated, and I agree completely.

"A little infringement" is in no way different, IMO, than "a little pregnant."

Check back in 2 weeks.

If no news, check back 3% of the time.

I'll always remember frosh during 3rd reader(iirc) in the Senate, up and down, the fingerprint requirement was going to make straw buyers have to stand in front of a trooper to get printed. It was going to be this huge deterant. Senators questioned him on this, and he went to *someone*(legal or msp rep) for verification right during the debate, applicants would be getting prints at the barracks, and the fee would be small. The deterant factor was his only stated reason. A burden for the sake of burden.

When I got my HQL, the person who fingerprinted me looked like she was barely out of high school and I'm not sure she would have known what a straw buyer would even be expected to look like! So much for getting fingerprinted by a trooper at a barracks or a police station. The HQL is just a money making machine for the State and a pain in the you know what for us.

Well said! It is outrageous and a blatant usurpation of rights of the citizens of Maryland by the Democrat Maryland General Assembly and our former governor.

Moms Demand Action posted news about the suit. Be afraid.

'On Wednesday, another lawsuit to challenge Maryland's Firearm Safety Act of 2013 was filed. The fingerprinting requirement for handgun buyers, designed to stop straw purchases, is called "invasive." '.


This on what the site says is a non-partisan group that is also manning the phones for Hillary. Is this a tax exempt group??

BTW, MDA on the Facebook says that goal #2 is:
2) Promote gun safety so that America’s children will no longer be exposed to unacceptable levels of risk;

I'm going ask if they will have live fire at the training class.

Mandatory firearms training for all of America's children.

So, they are going to promote having their parents be able to obtain a permit to protect them?

I hypothesize that more teens are injured/killed by texting & driving, or drinking & driving, or other typical risky teen rebellion activities than are injured/killed by firearms. Where is their hue and cry on those issues? Oh, right, they don't care because "guns".
