Old Line State!
I noticed over the years Maryland politicians never use the title "Free State" anymore for Maryland!

Heck... we can't even keep drugs and weapons out of prisons... think about that for a moment.
I’ve got an old Stevens bolt .22 that was made before the serial number requirement. I suppose they would contend that’s also untraceable. Such BS.

I would hope they would make an exception.
And I hope the MGA just goes away. Either is equally likely to happen.

I think they will exempt antiques. Big Mike is a gun fan.
Correct -- no grandfatheringAnd if anyone thinks they will grandfather what you have now your out of your mind
They have it in for us and our guns.
Yes, transfer is banned. The number used in crimes doesn't matter to the rights-grabbers. Files and dremel tools might be OK!It bans the TRANSFER...
And just how many of these heinous tools of death have been used in the streets of Bloodymore?!!
Yeah... They still do it the old-fashioned way... with files and Dremels!!
If any part was made on a CNC, you're outta luck.Looks like i need to look into doing an 80% Glock frame now.
Would not comply with the proposed bill if any part of the gun was made via CNC.I’ll happily put a serial # on my 1911’s and Glocks. I have a metal stamping set.
80% or 79%, it doesn't matter. They are going after homemade guns even if only a small portion of it was made on CNC.Idiots. We need to make two points:
1. Pass ANY firearm law, and you create a buying frenzy.
2. There is NO spot in MD that is more than 90 minutes drive from another state. Usually less. And since 80% receivers are NOT considered firearms by the Federal Government, people can buy out of state.
Serial numbers are not the issue, and serializing your existing home-made guns won't meet the law. If any portion of them were made on a CNC mill and are home-made, you would become a criminal.Serial Number 1
Serial Number 1

Yep, yep, and yep.They absolutely can and do all the time. Witness the current bumpstock ban.
No one knows what the law will say until they write it, so we can't answer those questions right now. They could do a California and say you have to serialize and register them. They could say it's flat out illegal to build a gun at home at all. They could say that blue 3-d printed ones are illegal and red ones aren't. We won't know until we see the proposed legislation.
In a broader sense, though, this kind of legislation is pointless and impossible to enforce, because of the very nature of the items that are being discussed, and it will only ever hurt law abiding people, just like all gun control.
Possessing the g-code will become a punishable offense, gun or no gun.Agree 100%. They are trying to ban the knowledge of how to build a gun. How do you do that? Billet receivers are solid squares, add a CNC and the proper G-code.
That would be quite funny.Hypothetically, why couldn't someone get any particular flavor of G-code (which is just a text file) to finish an 80% lower and print it out to be included with written testimony on this bill so that it becomes part of the official record. Then what are they gonna do?

I'm shopping around doing research now on 80% lowers for handguns. I quite honestly never wanted one or had any interest in building one until the pricks started moving to ban them. Now I figure if they want to ban it, it must be worth having.

Pretty much.
The "easiest" for a handgun is a P80 lower for a Glock. Then the SIG P320 chassis, and then a 1911 or other classic metal receiver.

I have tooling for all of the above mentioned 80’s, plus the Sig P228/229.
I'm thinking a P320 might be fun just because I've had so many Glocks over the years and used to market a certain West Hartford company's 1911's for a living.
