Long Guns

ponypeddler87 · Apr 4, 2014

I've heard from a local gun shop in St. Marys that Md is gonna try to do the same thing with long guns that they did to handguns. You will have to get a license to buy long guns. They were told this by a local politician. Has anyone else heard anything about this? :mad54:

Not this year. Maybe next year.

Definitely not this year. Any such talk about something like this year is 100% rubbish.

If I had to predict for next year, I would guess they will attempt to upgrade the HQL to the equivalent of Illinois's FOID card, not just for long guns but for ammo purchase as well ... if the same legislature is re-elected, they will be quite emboldened.

On the other hand ... "local politicians" have been known to say some peculiar things during election years ... take all of what you hear from "them" with a grain of salt (and a shot of rye)

I dont really know much about Illinois's stupid gun laws but i hope we dont go down the same road they are heading down

will you need it if you buy ammo out of state?

As gunshop rumors/ BS go, this one sounds pretty far-fetched, and impossible before next year.

Remain vigilant, and work hard to unseat the Dem incumbents in the June primaries by registering Democrat In Name Only.

While I wouldn't put it past our illustrious politburo, this is a rumor. We shouldn't feed rumors...
What St Mary's gun shop is spreading this rumor and what politician told them so?

I have, last year. Would this be the hypothetical scenario in question?

Gun locker is the gun shop that told me, and as far as the politician I can't remember what she told me but the only local one that comes to mind is McKay

I heard third hand from the friend of a gun shop employee that Prince George's and Montgomery County Young Democrats associations have been taken over by DINO's and will start raffling off Shotguns to raise money for our local school system(and then give some to Steny Hoyer). Im not sure what gun shop nor what politician said this though, might be Steny Hoyer.

As always...

Proposals, rumors and gum-flapping have no weight, and serve no purpose other than to scare people.

We have the opportunity to use them, though. This sort of thing allows us to prepare plans to step in the way as we did this year, and keep pressure up to prevent them from becoming reality.

Sure, there was no real 'fire' in the legislative belly, but had we just sat back, they would have taken that opening and rammed.

We let them know we are still out here, and ready to stand up. But, if we take every little thing we hear and give it undeserved authority, it becomes tougher to stand up later.

Clear minds, clear goals, and prepare for election season... all the time making notes for later.
