Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Harvey Weinstein story continues to snowball, getting uglier and uglier. That would push just about everything else out of the headlines, methinks.

I have yet to see anyone say the Bump Stock was developed for People with DISABILITIES...
But the only Disability I see is the Leftist communist STUPIDITY...

MSNBC Republican: 'You're a Bad Parent If You Have a Gun in the House'
By Brad Wilmouth | October 4, 2017 10:33 AM EDT
"On Tuesday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, frequent MSNBC Republican guest David Frum lamented over the trend towards loosening gun laws -- even after high-profile mass shootings -- and then predicted that it would be necessary to convince gun owners that "you're a bad parent if you have a gun in the house" to get the public to support more gun restrictions..."

The philosophy right now seems to be to throw the dogs some red meat (Bump Stocks) to quiet them down...
Meanwhile Frosh & Company can't wait until the Merry-Land General Assembly to take more of our bones away...
Funny, my kids think I'm a bad parent if I don't take them to the range.....
We need the Kolbe case now more than ever. I'm sure Maryland will find something to make life more inconvenient for us.

One thing that's striking is that every chance they get, the anti's bring out the same, rehearsed, "We need some common sense gun control," ignoring the fact that there already are hundreds, if not thousands of gun control laws already.
But we don't highlight that they already got what they wanted, but it's never enough for them.
There's a long enough pattern now of incremental infringements, for the NRA and other 2A organization to point to the history and ask the question, "If all you want is 'common sense' gun control, what is the basis for the XXXX gun control laws we already have? 'Non-sense'? "
In the case of Maryland, all they ever do is make things more inconvenient. I go to DE, VA or PA to buy magazines. I can only store 5lbs of powder in my house at one time. I have powder at my neighbors, in-laws, mother's and brother's houses. I had to buy a whole bunch of guns I never realized I needed in 2013. I spent about $7000. I have to make the guns I want into pistols or SBRs to circumvent certain restrictions. None of it really affects my ability to get what I want. It just makes it annoying. Of course, none of it really affects criminals. It's only inconvenient because I am actually following the laws. The criminals are still doing exactly what they have always done and are blissfully unaware of any new regulations.

We literally have all but maybe 1 or two senate votes for reciprocity. They cannot just give away bump stocks for nothing in return
No way.

Thats a tough one, "common sense" is a term the left uses religiously!

I think that they've been doing the same thing often enough and recently enough that the majority of even dimly aware people see the script that's being read from by certain politicians (I'm looking at you Feinberg and Hoyer.). It's now 100% predictable, and the outraged reaction is being read sooner and sooner. One day they will screw up and bring out the scripted reaction before the precipitating event. That will be the proof in everyone's mind.

We can make them aware, by erecting statues to Martin O'Mao where Baltimore's Robert E. Lee statues once stood, with O'Mao holding in his hands a tablet with FSA2013 chiseled in stone. Since everyone was acutely aware of and offended by Lee statues, the new homages to O'Mao and dictates of FSA2013 surely will be known to all.
Of course, it still won't matter to those criminals still bold enough to commit their heinous acts with a firearm, because the first things prosecutors always drop are the gun charges -- unless it's an otherwise law-abiding citizen who just owns guns and innocently slips up.
Got this lovely e-mail full of bull dooky from our friend Kevin Kamenetz.

This week’s incident in Las Vegas was horrific and heartbreaking. We are saddened by the losses caused by the act of a madman. And we are grateful for the courageous efforts of those whose help saved so many. They are heroes in every sense of the word.
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers remain with the many victims and families of the violence in Las Vegas. Sadly, offering these condolences has become increasingly routine and that is a tragedy in itself. We cannot become numb to events like these. This is not normal and it is unacceptable.
This has to end. And it starts with us.
The founding fathers granted Americans the right to bear arms but, like any other right in the Constitution, that right is subject to reasonable limits that will keep all Americans safe from a threat that the founding fathers could never have imagined.
Marylanders -- and people all across our nation -- should not have access to weapons of war. Assault rifles and automatic weapons used to battle the Taliban or ISIS have no place in our communities, whether it is in Towson or Takoma Park, in Baltimore or Bowie, in Salisbury or Silver Spring.
Today we continue to mourn the lives that were lost, pray for the injured, and share our deepest sympathies with all those impacted by this unconscionable attack.
Tomorrow we must act. As a nation, we must take responsible and common-sense steps to stop the disease of gun violence.
Enough is enough. We must take action to prevent violence like what happened in Las Vegas, at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, and at Sandy Hook, and at Virginia Tech. Laws to limit access to weapons of mass destruction must be addressed by Congress.
After the events in Newtown, Maryland took steps to expand gun safety, including banning a wide array of assault weapons and establishing fingerprinting requirements -- efforts I was proud to advocate for and support.
Following this massacre, we must work together to improve the safety of all our communities and prevent the next tragedy from tearing families apart.
Because if not now, when?

State Facts and Statistics not emotions,lastly what gun control measure wouldve stopped this massacre?
You know as well as I do, that is not how they play this game, my friend.
It is sad. Logic doesn't seem to carry any weight with the average voter.

What else can they infringe on in this state?
