Too bad Emily Miller hasn't written a column on it.
Well, since she's with the Times, maybe someone should send her an email to make an appearance at the Rockville meeting!
I wrote this to the senate judiciary committee and called my delegates, senator, and Delegate Dwyer's office...
She should now know when the next one in (since it is even closer to her) from her twitter.
You should post your letter on Emily's Facebook page. She will take notice and it should get some good attention from those who follow her.
...it seems like their real priority is licensing. Which, from what Brochin said, seems to be the portion with the least support.
Also, I wouldn't hand out any information. It will only give them time to formulate a response before the hearing.
I just did a non-scientific poll of my office. Not a single employee could tell me what an assault weapon is. I told them and they were shocked.
Our primary weapon is education.
Why is there no news coverage on this? Everything about these town halls screamed liberal cheerleading, why would there be no news coverage at all to show how charged up people are about gun-control?
I am more skeptical than ever now, we need to dig deep into other the bills that are out and get busy contacting our legislators about them individually. I feel like we're being set up for "After overwhelming opposition on SB281 we have decided against it but since not many seem to oppose our other bills we have voted them into law"
Even if it was true how is it going to stop straw purchasing? What does it matter if the straw purchaser shows the dealer his fingerprints, Photo ID, or 10 proofs of purchase from a wheaties box?
I was there last night and I too went up to Dr. Demarco to get the source of his stats on "states that have licensing and fingerprinting have less gun crime". They kept using the 30K gun deaths each year which according to CDC includes almost 20K suicides. I wasn't able to ask a question on that.
According to Dr. Demarco, those states that have licensing and fingerprinting have dramatically less gun crime and deaths.
Your arguing against a Dr. from Hopkins. We need to look at his sources or call them suspect. Maybe someone that goes to the meeting on the 5th can ask him publicly what his sources are for this statement.
I asked Vincent DeMarco what his source was, and he gave me the graphic that has been posted. I am afraid that his source is not substantial, but as Nikon said, you can't argue against an "accepted expert" without facts. I suppose the only factual evidence on this would be compiled by police departments in major cities.
