The long tradition of the Maryland State Police testifying about their policy preferences is a DISGRACE!
They are implementers of policy because they are UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS.
The MSP has no business testifying about gun control policies that they wish to see implemented.
If they appear at all, their appearance should be limited to answering questions about statistics, manpower numbers, costs, and implementation limits, etc.
Can you say "CONFLICT OF INTEREST?"
