    I don't really get this. It would seem to me that one of the things the police would check now upon a felony conviction is whether the person has registered firearms.

    That's an old article. The bill was HB0090 and it went nowhere. Stay vigilant so that it doesn't return next session

    This.

    Several of us blew up the lines fighting the idiocy of that bill.

    It was nothing more than a way to have an indefinite lookback to retroactively disqualify people from ownership.

    The current bill is HB0623

    DC-W got the bills mixed up, this is also the old bill, and as Mr. H noted, we did a nice job on the phones and via e-mail to defeat this bill this year. It was part of the marathon, 8 hour, gun bill day.

    But as Mr. H stated we need to stay vigilant so this doesn't come back next year.

    That wouldn’t surprise me. They have made it so hard to get a firearm in this state that it makes sense that only criminals will have them. They don’t have to jump through all the BS hoops that normal citizens do.

    Previoysly non-regulated long guns and shotguns aren't registered. Any gun, even handguns, obtained through out-of-state c&r is not registered. (c&r handguns transferred WITHIN Maryland would have a 77r and therefore would be registered.)
    (updated to reflect "non-regulated" - all long guns now are non-regulated and thus not registered - damn Maryland convoluted crap mess laws)

    Just an opinion not a fact and nothing to back it up but I'd say....from what I've seen.....that I'll probably agree 10% of gun owners in general are felons.
