That PAFFL probably saw the headlines that after October 1 there will be no new machine gun sales in Maryland That is of course if MSI can’t beat the bastards in court.
Are you sure that MD subjects won't be able to purchase MGs after 10/1? Bumpstocks and crank-fires, yes (pending MSI lawsuit), but real MGs?
I'm pretty sure that information is incorrect. Surprisingly, MD is pretty NFA-friendly.

"BURST TRIGGER SYSTEM” MEANS A DEVICE THAT, WHEN INSTALLED IN OR ATTACHED TO A FIREARM, ALLOWS THE FIREARM TO DISCHARGE TWO OR MORE SHOTS WITH A SINGLE PULL OF THE TRIGGER BY ALTERING THE TRIGGER RESET."
4–305.1.
(A)EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (B)OF THIS SECTION, A PERSON MAY NOT:
(1)TRANSPORT A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR INTO THE STATE; OR
(2)MANUFACTURE, POSSESS, SELL, OFFER TO SELL, TRANSFER, PURCHASE, OR RECEIVE A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR.
(B) THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO THE POSSESSION OF A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR BYA PERSON WHO:
(1)POSSESSED THE RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2018;
(2)APPLIED TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2018, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO POSSESS A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR; AND
(3)IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR POSSESSION OF A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR.
Nope, he's right.
The text of HB888, as enrolled, defines a "Burst Trigger System" as follows:
That fits the definition of a fully automatic firearm / machinegun, with some *possible* flex for systems that operate without altering the trigger reset.
It then goes on to define a "Rapid Fire Trigger Activator" as including a "Burst Trigger System" and various other similar devices.
It then goes on to say:
So in other words, unless you possessed the "Rapid Fire Trigger Activator" prior to 10/1/18 then you can't have it here any more.
Someone please correct my logic if I'm wrong.
I read numbers 1, 2, and 3 as independent of each other, therefore number 3 allows you to purchase a MG.
(1)POSSESSED THE RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2018;
(2)APPLIED TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2018, FOR AUTHORIZATION TO POSSESS A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR; AND
(3)IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR POSSESSION OF A RAPID FIRE TRIGGER ACTIVATOR.
If the "AND" were an "OR".
.
Its BS, but the Belt is considered illegal by most since its over 10 rounds. when i bought my RPD , AIM refused to send my belts to MD.
Is a belt considered a “detachable magazine”??
I say no but good luck convincing anyone of that. Anyway cause aim wouldn't send Links to Md and wouldn't separate my order, I sent the gun and all to VA and did the transfer there .
MGs illegal to buy soon!?!?!?
That is gonna suck.
