The asshats can't stop the real criminals so they think they can turn non criminals into criminals and go after us.. MGA and liberals wouldn't know common sense if it was in front of them in a neon sign.
Can I stamp mine BLOWMEMD? or are number required.
HB888 - Rapid Fire Trigger Activator, has been given a favorable report by the Senate Judicial Proceedings committee.
Its second reading in the Senate is on April 2nd

If we agree to ban bump stocks because they facilitate rapid firing, we have given up the question. We have agreed in principle that any dangerous gun can be banned and confiscated by an arbitrary executive order. All guns are capable of rapid fire, and all guns are inherently dangerous. Pump-action shotguns can be rapidly fired and reloaded. Jerry Miculek can fire five shots from a double-action revolver in 0.57 seconds. High-capacity magazines most certainly facilitate rapid fire, so they also will have to go. A writer who wants to ban all "private individual ownership of firearms" recently argued that "even bolt-action rifles can still fire surprisingly fast in skilled hands." He's right. All magazine-fed guns will be outlawed.
There is no compromise involved or proposed here. In return for a ban on bump stocks, we get exactly nothing – the same situation we have been through now for eighty-four years. Despite the fact that the Constitution forbids any "infringement" of our right to keep and bear arms, we have endured repeated trespasses. In less than a hundred years, we have been subjected to the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Brady Act of 1993, and countless state restrictions on our rights. If we would be honest with ourselves, we would admit that half the Second Amendment is already gone.

The Bump Stock Treason Ban Bill has passed the final vote in the Senate 35-11.
It’s a safe assumption all 11 Senators were voting nay, leaving, I believe, 3 Quisling Republicans to vote to take legally purchased and owned property.
To their credit number of Republicans offered amendments to change the criminal penalties to $500 civil penalties but all were objected to by Sen. Ramirez and voted down.
There was also an amendment to authorize a small fund administered by the MSP to compensate Maryland owners of bump stock owners turning them in but that amendment was voted down.
So, the final version has NO grandfather clause?
Cue the excuse making "2a advocates"
