If you don't want to fight , fine. Then just stop aside and let's others do it.
Please don't devalue what is being done by those willing to do it.
You are more then welcome to not be involved.
To all those who do put up a fight, I thank you.
Very much
No offense, then you haven't been paying attention.
No more fingerprint expense for permit renewals. No more shell casing requirement for the purchase of a new handgun.
And the fact that in the last two years the Dem controlled legislature has gone 0-23 on gun control laws is indeed a victory.
Just about the best that can happen in a state where the Dems hold a veto proof majority in the General Assembly.
I really hope it doesn't go through. I just moved to Maryland last year and don't want to have to move (or get rid of my magazines).
I think this was a bill that started out as nothing more than more grandstanding from the idiots in the Baltimore City delegation, however with what has transpired in the last week it may now have a real chance of passing and making it to Hogan's desk. And the Democrats of course are realizing that they can put Hogan in a no-win situation by sending the bill to him to either sign or veto. Either way it's going to cost him votes.
I think one of the things that it would do well for the Second Amendment community in Maryland to realize is that we are much more politically powerful than we think we are. The Democratic machine in the state would like you to believe that you have no power to do anything, that anything they want to do they have the votes for. Heck they even send trolls in here to say that very thing. But the truth is one of the real reasons you haven't seen more gun control legislation in this state, is that the Democrats in all but the most liberal areas all know what kind of cost to them in votes more gun control will lead to. Even after Newtown Frosh still had to use every bit of political capitol he had to get that firearm safety act through.

Thank you Little Marco, he cemented the deal. Every Maryland Dem Senator and Delegate will ride those words of approval.
Been going on little to no sleep for the past few weeks with work and sick kids, so I've been assholeish. I apologize to everyone here for that. I'm just so sick of every damn time a heinous crime is committed somewhere in the nation with a gun, Maryland politicians have to start their bs.
I understand that you think those things you mentioned are victories. I guess to me coming from a state that didn't have any of that bs, it doesn't feel like a victory to me. Like I said in another post, I'll continue to do what I can to battle the anti bastids while I'm still here, although I honestly believe that its in vain.
The only way to truly lose is to not try or give up trying. I too was not born in Maryland but a transplant 13 years ago. I find the way the politics work here to be criminal or at least unconstitutional.
I get it is frustrating but isn’t that what they want? Frustrated people make poor decisions.
I am very grateful that we have people like Rack and Roll, MSI and the rest of our community that still carry on the fight.
Thank you to all that work so hard at keeping our rights

Exactly. But this isn't Balto City's issue either. I doubt the murder rate would be any lower with a mag limit in place. Thugs don't obey the law anyway.

Rubio, last night, at a hugely attended town hall in fla, announced support for a hi cap ban. Suddenly, this approach is in the mainstream. With prominent republicans considering it there would be little chance hogans would interfere with a bill if passed. Just my $.02.
Yeah he did.
What did he say?

I saw no injunction but permission tomrefile formthe third time. Good luck. These hi cap,bans will be upheld as long as the cts apply the middle level of scrutiny. In this circuit, they will be upheld and the AAG will be given a medal by the court for appearing.

Little Marco has evolved (cracked more likely) , and capitulated on limited round Magazines. He kept going, .. "It can save some lives".

We have different degrees of BGOS.
Meh, another unenforceable law. The only ones who will turn them in will be some Democraps trying to make themselves look like conservatives who "saw the light".

Hogan will sign it. He has treated gun owners like red headed step children to pander to his left wing supporters. He will lose far more votes if he vetoes it. Maryland is 70% democrat and he cannot wing re-election without dem support...The real question is how many of you will bow to this and destroy/turn in/ send away your mags over 10 rounds? They aren't going to pay you for your property, they are going to demand you turn them in which is legal theft. I don't know about you, but my loss would be about $2k and I have at least 2 pistols that I can't find 10 round mags for...so those would need to be sold out of state...
This is what happens when you refuse to be aggressive in your fight to preserve your rights. The libs smelled blood in the water after the SCOTUS refused to hear the challenge...Now they feel embolden...this is the tip of the iceberg...I fully expect the next step will be California style gun bans or worse. Get ready to make your semi auto pistols single shots and to fix your 10 round mags in your ARs....

Not unenforceable at all unless you plan on putting your standard cap mags in the safe and never take them out..You will still need to buy 10 round mags for every gun you have that needs detachable mags and there are some firearms that 10 round mags are not available for. Our only hope for those would be that they allow us to pin them.

Would ranges be required to inspect every shooters mag?
