Sent Hogan an email asking him to veto HB0612 (HBAR ban) if it passes his desk. I didn’t see anyone else post this so thought it worth sharing. The vagueness is disconcerting at best:
Dear Friend:
Thank you for your correspondence to Governor Hogan regarding House Bill 612 – Public Safety - Regulated Firearms - Colt AR-15 Sporter H-BAR Rifle, as your opinion is important to him.
While your thoughts on this issue have been conveyed to the governor, I encourage you to contact your state legislators in order to discuss this subject, as well as to advocate for your position, during the General Assembly’s legislative session, which began on January 9, 2019, and ends on April 8, 2019.
A helpful resource for you to explore is the Maryland General Assembly website, which provides a great deal of information, such as: legislators’ contact information and voting records; bill texts, policy notes, and histories; and, committee schedules for bill hearings. The MGA website is also a quick way to track legislation, as well as to find out who your representatives are. The link to the MGA website is: mgaleg.maryland.gov.
Thank you for taking the time to express your views to Governor Hogan; he appreciates hearing from you and will keep your thoughts in mind as bills reach his desk for consideration.
Sincerely,
Chris Shank
Chief Legislative Officer
