Explain this?

[Weber]

I wasn't there today.

So during the legislative session, the live fire requirement to obtain a
Handgun Qualification License was removed via amendment and through a vote.
Maryland State Police, writing Code of Maryland Regulations or COMAR from the
law that was passed and signed by the Governor added a live fire requirement after
it had been voted out. This was brought to the legislators attention and they
voted to keep the live fire requirement.

Simple:

The King wanted it, the King got it.

More flat-out ********. This is ludicrous.

Suddenly all of the legislators had amnesia today and couldn't remember that this was removed. They had the votes to get it back in by hook or crook with a straight 9-6 tally. Only had to take an hour and a half to get it jammed back in.

 

[DC-W]

They aren't helping themselves against any lawsuits...

Dumais even refused to listen to Smigiel quoting exactly when and how it got removed and by what vote margin.

Oh, that was her baby in the House. She will not be denied.

He shouldn't have stopped. If he had the amendment in hand and even offered to play the committee debate, it had a chance of penetrating their thick skulls.

Wouldn't have mattered really, they were pissed enough we forced them off script.

No, I feel this is better. The Panel allowed the MSP to over rule the delegates and senators voted legislation. It's just another bullet for the courthouse machine gun to kill this bill and maybe shakeup the COMAR process as well.

I was surprised to see quoted in a couple news stories that the COMAR was the MSP's interpretation of the intent of the law, not the word of the law.
