    This is a joint hearing, so enough testimony for each committee member.

    Anybody have a good letter?

    Make it simple.

    Subject : SB707/HB888

    Dear (legislator),

    I am writing to ask for you to oppose this bill. It will not prevent violence and the manner in which it is written will impact many more individuals than just those utilizing trigger cranks and bump stocks. I will take note of your vote and be sure to spread the information in preparation to the elections this year. Thank you in advance for your opposition to this bill.

    Sincerely,
    (your name)

    With the exception of vallario house is not worth the digital ink. Is this a list of the house judiciary committee or the delegates that sponsor. Dont wste time on sponsors. The have drunk kool aide. Write to the judiciary committee members if other thna these. Vallario is chair and he has been known to hold bills he does not care for. Stress the criminilazation of this act...that is, over night thousands will be criminals if they fail to comply .

    All of the members need to be contacted no matter what we think they will do. The more contacts they get, the more they actually start to think, we saw that back in 2013.

    I don't give two sweaty sh*ts about the bump-fire stock. What a waste of ammo...yet...

    Honorable Senators and Delegates,

    It is possible to "bump-fire" without any products. There are videos on youtube that show that just holding a finger stiff can "bump" the trigger. This bill has no real value.

    Once again, legislation to prevent evil by banning a tool, will be unsuccessful. Please direct positive energy to curbing the murder rate in Baltimore, that is continually put aside for emotionally charged subjects in the news.

    Please vote against HB-0888, or SB-0707

    Read the bill, it will sweep up much more than trigger cranks and bump stocks. Get a trigger job on your 1911? BANNED! Install and aftermarket 3.5lb trigger in your AR? BANNED! Install an Apex flat faced 5 lb trigger in your Glock or M&P pistol? BANNED!

    Does not matter. Copy and paste, then email them. We can overwhelm them with an email and few calls and get them to think twice about stirring up our community. This is an election year and they don’t want the Patriot Picket at their events.

    As Tim mentioned , it isn't just about a few silly range toy accessories. As written it would criminalize any trigger parts/ tuning , and virtually all internal action parts .

    Yes! This bill would ban aftermarket triggers, trigger jobs and any component that enhances the performance of a trigger in ANY firearm. If you lighten the trigger in a firearm, BANNED! If you install an Apex trigger in your Glock or M&P, BANNED!

    In reading this mess, it looks like it could be construed to ban from possession the set and hair triggers on muzzle loaders and double triggers that do the same thing on bolt action rifles. Some of the last bolt action rimfires I've bought have adjustable triggers on them. They are casting too wide a net.

    This may violate the 5th amendment and perhaps the 9th as well.
