MD laws 101?

[Slackdaddy]

As someone who is attempting to understand MD laws and how they are made, esp pertaining to gun laws.

I tried to "find" a copy of the 2013 mother of all gun ban laws,, and while I find a million "quotes" from it on various gun or hunting sites,, I can not find a source copy of the bill?
I find things like 4-305, or 4-3xx dealing with other things,,
All these list prohibited "things",, but do not list the "punishment"

I am also trying to look up "crime bills" and their punishment.
Yes, I am trying to compare repeat felons breaking the law, and unknowing normal "joe" breaking a law.

So to start, is there a "Full" copy of the 2013 MD firearms law ??

Look under "Public Safety"

The next thing you need to know is that the MD Code (codification of the law) is broken into named articles. MD gun laws are typically found in two articles "Public Safety" and "Criminal Law" They are then categorized into titles, subtitles and sections. 4-305 or 4-3xx refers to title 4 subtitle 3 section 4-305 or section 4-3xx. It is likely referring to the "Criminal Law" article as title 4 subtitle 3 refers to "Assault Weapons" and detachable magazines. The MD gun laws tend to live in Public Safety Title 5 and Criminal Law Title 4.
