For what its worth the legislature can pass and send bills to the Governor before the end of the session and he has 6 days to sign or veto, if he vetoes the legislature can over ride before end of session, look for them to do that again this year, it was a little used rule until we had a republican Governor, basically there is nothing Hogan can do if the legislature rushes the bills through.
Copied this from an article about last year,
This is the second consecutive year that the General Assembly has sent bills to the governor before the end of the 90-day legislative session.
Lawmakers are taking advantage of a little-used provision in the state constitution, which says bills sent to the governor at least six days before the end of session must either be signed or vetoed, giving the legislature time to override any vetoes before it adjourns.

So what are their plans for the Savage rifles with the accu-trigger? They are factory standard on many Savage rifles, including semi automatic rifles.

If this Bill passes, does this mean the end of SASS (Cowboy Action Shooting) in Maryland? Not to mention 3 gun and a bunch of other sports involving shooting many different types of firearms.

Doesn't that ultimately depend on the alternative?
I'm not now or ever going to consider a Democrat.

I'm not particularly worried about bumpstocks because I think the magazine capacity bill is a lot more worrisome!
If it came with it, its the gun's standard rate of fire. The language is only about increasing a gun's rate of fire above standard.

Deb Rey mentioned at her town hall the bumpstock bill is so badly written that cleaning your weapon will make you a felon . Hogan will have to veto that

What standard rate of fire? It can be set to a 3 to 7 pound trigger. The lighter trigger will allow faster follow up shots.

dont be a dumbass
turning the screw on your adjustable gas block could make you a felon. Its absurd and unenforceable the way its written.
turned one way, my rifle is a bolt action. Turned the other way...

Yeah but is there any way that maybe it doesn't get the votes and therefore never even hits his desk?

This bill on bump stocks has nothing to do with crime, violence, or any problem Maryland is facing.
Bump stocks is 100% about virtue signalling for people running for office this year. Its showboating and virtue signalling.
Not a single of the thousands of homicides over the last 10 years have anything to do with bump stocks. The bill is unenforceable except for bump stocks and cranks. Nobody will be able to say what other device increases the rate of fire, since there is no "standard" rate of fire.
Facts and logic are irrelevant when the goal is virtue signalling prior to some elections. They will spend a lot of energy on a non-problem. Meanwhile, some more bodies in Baltimore every single day.
Hard to predict whether this makes it out of committee. Many years they confine their showboating to committee.

If it came with those parts, you have NOT modified it to increase the rate of fire.

Me too. This is the magazine ban and increasing other penalties to a felony thread.
Please go to the other thread for bump stocks for some important info about the joint hearing, post #46.

That's not how the bill defines a "rapid fire trigger activator". I posted the following in the other thread.
>>> The way that this is currently written all firearms that fire faster than the slowest firearm in the universe have a "rapid fire trigger activator". There is no other test in the language. It does not provide a test against original manufacturers equipment, other firearms in the same class, etc. I don't see how this stands up in court.

Can’t ban “assault weppins”?
No prob. Just pass a law sayin’ thay gots to have a trigger weight of 12 lbs or more.

The Magazine Bill was on the ropes in the Senate. The Sponsor admitted it needed major rewriting . As indicated by Sponsor , a rewritten Bill would essentially restate offenses already illegal, only for repeat offenders.
Still watch it closely , but at this point , the Bump Stock Bill seems the one the Anti's are putting all their efforts.
