Warms my heart, novus. But it was a lesson that Canadian legislators learned after the fact. We should take that as a sign and inform our legislators we don't want to be doing what Canada is trying to do (in dismantling the registry) 10 years down the line.
Sometimes common sense does break out. It helps when the citizens are swinging the clue stick and helping knock that sense in, though.

yes lets dismantle the registry now - like the rediculous shell casing issue in MD
There's even a provision in this bill that would make you a felon if you moved and didn't fill out an address change with the registry.
Norton's right: "Atlas Shrugged" is coming to pass. They're trying to turn law abiding people into felons by using administrative procedures.

I have a friend of min in tough straights at the moment. She has had to move something like six times last year. If someone in that position forgot to change the address on the license just once.....

Bills will pass or fail based upon each of our actions/inactions.
First, join or renew your NRA Membership. Even IF they pass a bill like this or an AWB there WILL be a Judicial Challenge that will end up at the Supreme Court.....IF some draconian bill is passed the NRA WILL need lots of money to fight it.
Second, start calling your Reps and Senators and make it perfectly clear what you expect from them.......you better believe that we need to make a LOT of noise starting yesterday and keep it up for a long time.....if the number for Congress, your Sens and Rep are not in your speed dial you need to add them tonight......house.gov and senate.gov will be able to help you with those ph #'s
If we make enough noise they WILL back down.
Pelosi has been changing House Rules for the last week or so to establish a draconian environment that does not allow discussion or accountability. Last week she changed the rules to prevent the Minority Party from offering ammendments/changes to bills......totally squashes effective representation of nearly half of the US Population.
Pelosi also changed house rules so that a tax bill can be passed WITHOUT a Roll Call Vote.....this means that there will be no record of how your rep voted on a tax bill....allows him or her to wash their hands of blame or effectively lie to their constituency.
Each of you should call Pelosi's Office (Speaker of the House) and voice your disgust for her subversion of our Democratic Process, Debate on Issues and elimination of Accountability.
Third.....I don't want to think about what comes next because it suggests that we have lost and the Constitution has been overtly trampled....lets do everything we can to make SURE we never get to the point where individuals really start contemplating life without the Constitution.

Wow had not heard about the roll call vote requirement possibly getting axed, that's bad news and open road for a runaway govt.

I had lunch with John Sigler today thanks to John Josselyn, Legislative VP of AGC..
Does the name sound familiar? NRA President, John Sigler.
He thinks, like most of us do that this bill will likely go nowher again this year. But what he'd like to see is gun owners stand up NOW and go on the offensive and pound the living crap out of this bill.
Since we discussed a lot of Md specific issues, this bill didn't get much discussion today, but he seemed pretty clear about this bill getting special attention from gun owners. I wish we'd had more time to discuss specifics about it.
By the way, I have a lot of respect for this man. He had some great insight on things and he's been at it for a loooong time. Those of you who are MSI members will get some other specifics of the meeting in future MSI updates.

Anyone email the new boy wonder Congressman Kratovil and ask his opinion on this bill?
Seems to me an excellent chance to pin this guy to the wall on something.

I'll get something written on it tonight.

If no one else does it, i'll send an Email tonight.
I did yesterday, but no response. I may have overplayed my hand by not simply asking for his position on it and instead asked for his opposition to it.

I will also give it a whirl this weekend and just ask for his opinion. At least he will know people are paying attention for now. Once his opinion is know we can deal with whatever it may be.
Spot,
Are you serious? You had lunch with president of the NRA and are only going to tell us vaguely what you talked about?
Please.....we need more
