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.
^ This. This bill seemed more like the-police-are-not-doing-their-job-upon-conviction bill. Are you telling me when executing a search warrant that they have checked for registered firearms? Are you telling me detectives don't check whether suspects have a handgun registered to them which may match the crime gun? Really?
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)
Right, this would only affect Maryland registered firearms. Now maybe upon conviction you got your girlfriend to stash that shottie in her place for 5-10, because we all know you'll get a suspended sentence and be out in less than 1. Yet somehow most crime guns are still pistols...
