The Council of Governments (COG) board is taking up the issue of gun violence. I have no other details as yet, but this could bode poorly for us, since the Virginia reps on the Metro Washington COG board are *northern* VA types with an uncertain commitment to 2A rights. OTOH, COG has no statutory authority AFAIK. But it'd be preferable to derail or soften any declarations of support for O'Malley's BS bills (or 'AR' bans), late in the game though it may be.
Firearms policy---if that's where they're heading---seems to be new territory for COG even if crime control is not. Hope others will put this on the radar of appropriate MD/DC/VA advocacy folks. Ideally, we could keep gun control OFF the COG agenda.
This is board-level business at COG, but here's the link to the Police Chief's committee. Do we have any friends there? (Let's hope Chief Johnson from Baltimore County doesn't travel south and start meddling here, too.)
