MD Dems announce new “gun safety” measures.

What a crock of s**t! Are they going to pay MSRP for all the magazines that are >10 rounds? (I doubt it).

Guess if it passes, I'll have to ask my friend to take his 10+ round magazines and store them out of state or give them to an OOS family member.

Or... load them up and prepare for the revolution.

That’s Ex Post Facto. They are going to say that it doesn’t apply here because they’re not making the past possession of these magazines illegal they are making the future possession of these magazines illegal. It is only breaking the law if you continue to do it, not if you did it in the past.

I disagree, though not a lawyer. It seems this proposed bill has all of the elements that make it illegal.

1st. Every law that makes an action done before the passing of the law, and which was innocent when done, criminal; and punishes such action.

2nd. Every law that aggravates a crime, makes it greater than it was, when committed.

3rd. Every law that changes the punishment, and inflicts a greater punishment, than the law annexed to the crime, when committed.

4th. Every law that alters the legal rules of evidence, and receives less, or different, testimony, than the law required at the time of the commission of the offence, in order to convict the offender."


Perhaps this is also one of the reasons it was struck down in other states.

I thought Massachusetts recently banned bump stocks ... how did they do that, if our logic here is correct? Wouldn't it be the same issue?

The constitutionality of laws isn’t decided during the legislative process.

Someone upthread pointed out how the smaller mags make it easier to maneuver during CQB. I'm sure dumais would love to hear that in testimony.......

This is actually very true. My standard 30 round MP5 mag is constantly getting in the way. Plus, know what kind of looks you get when you have a full MP5 mag in your pocket? My wife hates it, I am constantly getting numbers and winks from women, and men.

Hey now, think about it. If PG becomes part of DC, then Maryland gains back just a little balance in the state legislature, and PG gets DC's new carry laws.

Okay, I’m convinced.

 

[Cyndi59]

Okay, I’m convinced.

No,the crap hole of D.C. reverting to P.G. would still fall under Maryland laws if it did..IMO..

You should switch to the tactical concealment 10 round.

HB0991 is going to make a bunch of us criminals as of Oct 1 2018 if passed. Other then my 1911's I don't have a firearm that came from the factory with a 10 magazine, how about you? We really need to stop this one. Start writing the elected ones. Chris

Hogan says he'll sign a bump stock bill, though he points out that bump stocks aren't the problem... http://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/governor-hogan-discusses-mass-shootings-and-crime-bills

Governor Hogan said he would support a separate bill which would ban bumpstocks, an accessory which allows a semi-automatic weapon to fire as an automatic weapon.

The device was used by the gunman in last year's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

But the Governor says "that quite frankly is not the issue. We had 340 people murdered in Baltimore last year and none of them were using bumpstocks."

Doesn't surprise me one bit. He's no friend of the 2A. Just pandering to the left.

Pretty much. Only good news here is that with an easy win on bumpstocks in the pocket to look good to the gun control crowd, the Democrats may be less likely to fight on harder issues such as the 10rd mag ban.

I keep a banana mag in my pocket so people don't suspect I'm actually happy all the time.

He knows it’s not the problem but he will sign it anyway, things that make you go hmmm....

What else will he sign into law? Any damn things the dems tell him to.

FFS and he’s gonna be the savior of md if re-elected??? Please.....

Maybe I am delusional... but I still say Hogan better pay attention to the gun community because they may just have been the crowd that pushed him over the top first term... maybe not so much this term...

I would like to think we had something to do with his winning. But I believe Anthony Brown was the person who helped Hogan the most of all.
