And here is the text from the AG's facebook page........

October 1 is the second anniversary of the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, one of the most important laws I ever worked on. A centerpiece is a permit process for handgun purchases. Research done this year by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research definitively shows that these kind of permitting laws lead to fewer deaths. That's why I support Rep. Chris Van Hollen's federal legislation providing resources for states to implement licensing plans, and why I hope that every state adopts such a plan. In the two years since the Maryland law passed, Maryland State Police have approved 33,000 permits, and have denied at least 526. That's 526 fewer guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them -- violent criminals or those with severe mental illness. Our law means that six times a week, people who shouldn't have guns don't get guns. We need to keep working on safety for all.

I know its preaching to the choir here, but what about the real world data that has shown that since the passage of the "Firearm Safety Act of 2013" homicides in the most populous city in the state has gone through the roof.

Well just think how bad it would be if not for FSA2013.... :lol2:

I know that the Baltimore Sun is a piece of s@@t... but you would think that the AG would at least read the paper from time to time..... "billing it as a way to drive down handgun deaths."

WTF is he talking about? Permits?

Billcw · Sep 30, 2015

County, state and federal officials want to export Maryland's handgun licensing law to other states, billing it as a way to drive down handgun deaths. Attorney General Brian E. Frosh and Rep. Christopher Van Hollen Jr. Wednesday, the day before the second anniversary of the effective date of Maryland's law

And here is the text from the AG's facebook page........

So maybe some one should write to Mr Frosh and ask him how many of those 526 people he has prosecuted for trying to buy a firearm .

Guy is stupid.. Apples to oranges.

Cc permit vs hql is not the same..

HQL's. I don't think 526 in 2 years equals 6 times a week. I guess it's common core math.

Bertfish · Sep 30, 2015

526/(2*52) = 5.06 permits denied per week

teratos · Sep 30, 2015

All that resulted in a big reduction in violent crime, right? Why didn't they mention that?

I would also wonder how many of those 526 people would have failed the NICS check. Not that that information would ever be given out; at best it would show a redundant system, but at worst (for them) it would raise scrutiny over why the Feds think someone should be allowed to own a firearm but not the state of MD...

so are they under the impression that an HQL only sells one handgun?

so much stupid... i need to vomit and smack my head against the wall at the same time. that makes no sense...

sigh... i just want to live in a world where logic and reason dictate the laws of society....

Doing my math using common core apparently. And he rounds up.

SW6906user · Sep 30, 2015

OK, so my train of thought is back in August Mayor SRB trying to "point a finger" in a different direction says something to the tune of "one factor in the Baltimore homicide rate is "lax" gun laws in surrounding states". These tool bags say ok let me get a JHU group on that and poof a news conference shoveling this poo under the guise of "look we denied x many HQL's with FSA2013 and the other states should implement this half assed act too".

"we need all states to pass handgun licensing for it to work"

Well, MSI can't/won't do anything directly related to VanHowlin's campaign, but any help in beating back the HQL is more than none.

The increase in crime was under their budgeted increase w/o the law!.. a win for them. :lol2:

How do you argue facts against a group that owns the media. MD is a diamond in the rough for one side or the other.

The Baron von Frosh is trumpeting his grand success on Facespace, if you care to leave him some love.
