Man Up Mondays !!

[Rack&Roll]

Testifying now is a rabid anti-gun activist from the Eastern Shore who I confronted back in September about carrying a knife into the library where MPGV was meeting. At the time I and some others were crashing the MPGV meeting.

He told me to eff off back in September. smh

Our MSI Prez stirred visibly.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Del. Ben Barnes just left the hearing room as opposition testimony begins.

Dickhead!

 

[Rack&Roll]

Shannon Alford, NRA-ILA rep up with MSI President Mark Pennak.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Alford detailing for example how Route 5 bisects the St. Mary's College Campus and how this is a trap for MD citizens under the Barnes law

 

[Rack&Roll]

Explaining how the Barnes bill provides for 3 year sentence that, even if the full sentence not given, the Federal law commands loss of 2A rights

 

[Rack&Roll]

Mark Pennak, MSI President up.

He complains that this law lacks a mens rea component --legalese for specifying that there must be INTENT to violate the proposed law--so as not to ensnare MD citizens transporting firearms with no nefarious purpose.

Pennak: Innocent possession vs a patchwork of property across MD including farm property and college owned homes-- previously private--that would be deemed prohibited is a trap to every MD gun owner.

Which Doctor?

If it is illegal how can that stat make sense?

Asian woman, missed her name but wearing the white coat.

Asian woman, missed her name but wearing the white coat.

Of course she had to wear her doctor's coat. I wonder if she's real or just plays one on TV?

 

[Rack&Roll]

Pennak explaining law will not prevent the transport of guns onto campus, but ruins lives of for those who trespass inadvertently.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Alford explains federal law since 1968 prevents mental defectives from acquiring or owning firearms

 

[Rack&Roll]

Pennak testifies about extremely stringent requirements for those who obtain a MD wear & carry permit for friendly legislator drawing out why W&C holders are safe.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Barnes challenging Pennak on whether gun free zones work because Pennak suggested that gun free zones act to reduce gun numbers on campus

 

[Rack&Roll]

Dan Blasberg lecturing committee that this law creates unarmed victims with LE at least 4 minutes away. Notes UM PD now patrolling neighborhoods and are farther away.

Delegate refutes says 911 response is about a minute. (Not credible)

 

[Rack&Roll]

Blasberg also notes Route 1 splitting the UMD campus--another trap for MD citizen transporting a firearm in that area.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Blasberg notes he is a vendor to UMPD and will detour to lock up a firearm to observe the gun-free zone but a misunderstanding results in a conviction that strips 2A rights.

He notes that others who legally carry might run afoul of this law by being unaware.

 

[j_h_smith]

Blasberg notes he is a vendor to UMPD and will detour to lick up a firearm to observe the gun-free zone but a misunderstanding results in a conviction that strips 2A rights.

He notes that others who legally carry might run afoul of this law by being unaware.

Tell them that Loyola University is split by Charles St. Also in the city, response time is more than 5 minutes.

 

[Rack&Roll]

Female delegate who says she was a domestic violence advocate declares no abused women should be given a gun for protection.

Blasberg challenges that generality as not supported in studies that he is aware of.

Unfortunately, the hearing ended on a gleeful note for the gun hater Chairwoman of the committee when Barnes elicited the admission that the law would be included in instruction to W&C permits holders, thus lessening the chance that a W&C permit holder would "stumble" into a conviction. Ugh.
