    I would bet a majority of the people polled don't know the process for purchasing a firearm, and they assume all guns are bought at guns shows in a loopy hole.

    Shhhh, don't tell them. They'll try to close the loophole.

    “Assault Weapons” Banned
    This bill dramatically expands the definition of
    assault weapons. It creates new classes of
    banned weapons: Assault Long Guns and
    Copycat Weapons
    All firearms fitting these definitions will be
    illegal to purchase or bring into the State after
    October 1, 2013.
    All current owners will be forced to register
    them or face up to 3 years in prison.
    Semi-Automatic Handguns:
    • Assault Pistols, BANNED
    (no grandfathering if purchased after 1994)
    • Fixed magazine > 10 rounds, BANNED
    • Barrel Shrouds, BANNED
    • Threaded Barrels, BANNED
    • Second hand-grip, BANNED
    • Magazines inserted outside of the pistol grip,
    BANNED
    Shotguns:
    • Any shotgun currently regulated, BANNED
    • Revolver-style shotgun, BANNED
    • Semi-Auto Shotguns BANNED if:
    ◦ Telescoping OR Folding stock
    AND
    ◦ Pistol grip
    Semi-Automatic Centerfire Rifles:
    • Any rifle currently regulated, BANNED
    • Lengths less than 30” BANNED
    • Fixed magazines > 10 rounds, BANNED
    • Forward pistol/vertical grips, BANNED
    • Thumbhole stocks, BANNED
    • Telescoping or Folding stocks, BANNED
    • Grenade/Flare launchers, BANNED
    • Flash hiders, BANNED
    10 Round Magazine Limit
    All detachable magazines with a round count
    of >10 rounds will be illegal to purchase or
    transfer into the State of Maryland.
    Banned Weapon Regulations
    • Existing owners may keep their weapons,
    but must register them or face up to 3 years
    in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.
    • No person under the age of 21 may own a
    banned weapon
    • If you can't own a banned weapon, you may
    not own ammunition for that weapon either
    • Existing owners will not be able to sell a
    banned weapon in Maryland.
    Firearm Qualification License
    To purchase or RENT a handgun OF ANY
    TYPE, you must first obtain a license. This
    license is akin to a Firearms owners ID
    (FOID). What must you do to obtain this
    license?
    • $100 Non-refundable fee every 5 years
    • Background check, including fingerprints
    (you must pay the costs)
    • 8 hour training class (you must pay for class
    and ammunition)
    • Demonstrate “proficiency and use”
    (hard to do if you can't rent a gun without this license)
    • Total estimated costs: $385
    Carry Permits
    • No change has been made to the Good and
    Substantial clause of the law, which is the
    current law that makes it nearly impossible
    to get a carry permit
    • In addition to that, a new 16-hour handgun
    training course must be completed as well.
    Bill Ramifications
    • Demonizes owners of a massive number of
    commonplace weapons, by banning the
    purchase or transfer of those weapons;
    including those moving into the state. This
    affects many weapons not previously
    regulated.
    • Restricts ammunition such that anyone
    under 21 may not possess any ammunition
    outside of the presence of an adult (over
    21). This means young hunters, and target
    shooters are out of luck.
    • Insults our young adult military members,
    by denying them the right to own
    ammunition, even for training purposes.
    While at the same time allowing them to join
    the military, use real assault rifles, be placed
    in a war zone, and be killed.
    • Criminalizes formerly law abiding gun
    owners if they fail to abide by the new law,
    by awarding them with prison time and
    stripping their right to own any firearms.
    • Burdens the poor from exercising their 2A
    right to defend themselves. Imagine a poor
    single mother that has been threatened.
    She is being asked to front $385 just to be
    allowed to purchase a handgun.
    • Mandates minimum sentences that cannot
    be suspended or shortened by parole for 5
    years on first offense and increasing to a
    decade on second violation. Prosecutors
    can still plea bargain away the charge.
    • Confuses transportation laws of regulated
    weapons. It appears that if you transport a
    grandfathered banned weapon out of state it
    will be illegal to ever bring it back into
    Maryland.
    • Excludes new shooters by requiring an
    expensive and complicated license to rent a
    handgun.

    A personal "thank you" for those that are there representing in hostile/ignorant territory. I'd have to double-down on BP meds just to be able to walk into that room...

    EDIT: as a matter of fact, I can feel my BP rising just thinking about it.

    Interesting how the flyer says it does not ban possession of a registered assault weapons then right below says you're allowed to transport a pistol but doesn't mention assault weapons...
