I think the most important thing is to have those Democrats who voted for SB281 removed from office. That sends a message to future democrats that they should not cross the gun lobby, and that we can reach them even on the democratic side. We will not win all of the fights, but we have to...
Confusing three different things here. (1) the crappy unconstitutional anti-gun laws passed and forced upon us in the state of Maryland (2) the nuances of these poorly worded laws and how they can be interpreted (3) Delegate Kevin Kelly's role in any of this.
I can tell you this, this...
Question - If living in a total Republican area of Maryland, does it still help to be a DINO? Or is it better to remain republican and support those R's who voted against the bill?
People are starting to wake up and post on places like Facebook how outraged they are that this happened. And the answer should be "And what did you do to try and stop it!?!?"
Only 3000 people took the day off to protest at the capitol, while TWENTY times that many went to cheer for the...
My concern is in the bill's language about "lawfully owned" before Oct 1, 2013. What defines lawfully owned really mean? Does that mean only those scary firearms purchased in Maryland and submitted through the state's process for regulated firearms? God forbid -what if someone moved to the...
ALL -
The O'Malley team is campaigning to existing gun owners that we would get to keep our existing AR rifles as grandfathered, with just a registration process. And subsequent versions of the bill change the penalty for an unregistered AR rifle from a criminal felony to a civil violation...
Also worth noting, if they mandate only shells loaded with lead... then that kills the entire waterfowl hunting tradition in Maryland. Duck/Goose hunters use steel or tungsten (even bismuth) pellets. Lead has been banned since 1991
All in pursuit of the mythical "cop killer" bullets...
Patrick, when section 4-110 describes restricted firearm ammunition as (III) "entirely composed of a metal or metal alloy other than lead" that would ban all of the solid copper HUNTING bullets such as the entire Barnes product line and the new Hornady GMX bullets and others.
These bullets...
As far as "flash suppressors" go, when this came up in the subcommittee meeting even the Governor's hatchet lady (Stacey) said this has nothing to do with muzzle brakes or compensators. Just military style flash suppressors like an A2 cage. Still a stupid thing to outlaw, but it leaves some...
Everyone in Annapolis is now very aware of the term "straw purchase". Gives a good angle for discussion since they now feel 'smart' talking the talk. The delegates need help to understand that existing law provides sufficient penalty (a felony if you lie on 4473 forms and up to 5 years in...
The Military Veteran angle is said to work best. Patriotic appeal, and all that. Basic premise:
1) Military veterans protect our freedoms with military firearms, and want to protect their own families once they return home with similar looking civilian firearms. Its the shape/style we are...
Go to the Fox News Townhall page on their web site and check out comments below. Widely pro gun. Except for one lady from angry moms against somethign or other... who posted anti gun rhetoric 50 times. Making it a crusade to respond every time she does it. Check in, and debunk her where...
Has this been posted anywhere yet to view and further distribute around the blogosphere? I didn't get to ask my question, but yelled out some challenges to their misrepresentations during the event.
Spoke with Mike Tomko to sign up. He sounds like the real deal, a guy who grew up in Colorado and cherishes the Constitution. We are stuck in Maryland and most voters here seem to be ill-informed and stupid... but not this Mike Tomko guy.
Gun based truth, fact and logic were all tried and had no effect. The politicians simply think it benefits their political careers in the Democratic party to mandate more and more gun control. It is a badge of honor among their kind, and they simply do not care about reality.
Seems the...
I can't get a clear answer from my Senator Alan Kittleman as to where he stands on SB281. Can more people reach out to him and demand a position statement?
We need to know who intends to follow political party instead of Constitutional Oath, so that they can be removed from office.
Having testified once before, let me offer my take on the process.
It feels kind of exciting and important when you are part of a large group waiting to speak at the capital. And it seems you wait around all day and they seem to deliberately delay the gun stuff later and later hoping we...
