The latest e-mail to rally the antis contains some chuckles (amidst the predictable rhetoric) and some sign-making tips from Big Brother (or shall we say 'Big MOM'?):
"So far, we have generated more than 8,000 contacts to the legislature in support of the governor's proposals. And, tomorrow, we will host one of the largest rallies in Maryland this year."
____________
ME: 8,000 contacts is the stuff of braggery? PUH-lease!
We'll see if they get even half the turnout we did on Feb 6 (or will tomorrow). More from their e-mail and web page follows. https://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50979/images/Sign Slogan Suggestions.pdf

Making Signs
Signs cannot be on a pole or stick - they must be handheld. No derogatory language and no references to "gun control" (use gun violence prevention.)
Suggested sign messages are here:
Important Tips:
DO NOT refer to “gun control” or to taking guns away. DO refer to “gun violence prevention.”
DO NOT refer to “licensing guns” or “licensing gun owners.” DO refer to “licensing handgun purchasers.”
Examples:
Licensing Saves Lives
Gun Violence is Preventable
81% of voters support licensing of handgun purchasers!
Vote for Common Sense
Vote for Firearm Safety Act
Enough is enough.
8 out of 10 Marylanders want fingerprinting and safety training.
Break the silence, End the violence
The Firearms Safety Act will save lives!
Yes, we can…protect the 2nd Amendment & Reduce Gun Violence
Pass the Firearms Safety Act!
I own a gun and don’t mind giving my fingerprint.
Licensing my handgun is a small price to pay.
Support O’Malley’s balanced approach!
Gun violence affects our state’s mental health.
I’m a hunter and don’t need/want an assault weapon.
Assault weapons have no place in a civilian’s home.
Licensing holds purchasers accountable.
Straw purchases are flawed purchases.
Guns Don’t Kill People. People with guns kill people.
8 of 10 murders are committed with guns
Handguns are killing our kids – license them and save lives!
Licensing keeps guns out of dangerous people’s hands.
Vote YES on Firearms Safety Act.
