Of course, O'Malley has been gloating about the Database for years:
O'MALLEY: WE MAP THE LOCATION OF GUN OWNERS AND CCW HOLDERS HOMES!
And the new law removes the "Voluntary" part for new residents. You still don't have to "register" Rommel's Luger, though.
I had a thought about said database. Has anyone looked into shutting it down (or playing the Liberal game on them of making a thing such a pain in the azz so as to make it not worth the pain) by using nonconformance with NIST and ISO security specs? That might be kind of a fun hobby for someone.
