As if enduring eight years of the rabidly anti-gun Martin O’Malley in the Governor’s Mansion weren’t enough, Maryland gun owners are now contending with at least one avowed gun prohibitionist in the state Attorney General’s Office. Undercover video of Maryland Deputy Attorney General Thiruvendran Vignarajah, shot by Project Veritas while he was attending a national conference of state attorneys general in New York City, reveals the supposed-public servant’s deep disdain for your rights.
Speaking with an undercover journalist, when asked about what type of gun control regime he would impose, Vignarajah replied, “[m]y complete answer, off the record, is that we should ban guns altogether, period.†Elaborating, Vignarajah stated, “[i]f you want to go practice with a gun, you can go to the gun range, pick up your gun at the gun range, fire it there, and then you leave it there and you go home.†Vignarajah then goes on to explain a scheme under which he might allow individuals to keep a firearm in the home, subject to an “extensive licensing scheme,†taxation, mandatory insurance, and “fingerprint trigger locks.â€
Vignarajah’s comments might prompt one to contemplate the extent to which his radical anti-gun positions permeate the entire Maryland Attorney General’s Office. After all, his boss, Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh, has been a staunch advocate for gun restrictions since the 1980s. In 2013, while chairman of the Maryland State Senate’s Judicial Proceedings Committee, Frosh pushed O’Malley’s sweeping gun control package to final passage. A Washington Post article from the time called Frosh, “O’Malley’s key ally in the Senate.†And Frosh’s work on the issue earned him the praise and support of billionaire gun control bankroller Michael Bloomberg. Specifically, Bloomberg said of Frosh, “[n]o one has done more in Maryland than Brian Frosh to lead the fight against illegal guns and protect citizens from incidents of gun violence.â€
Ping. Almost verbatim from your first book. Same state, even.
if he has his way, video will be the only thing that is shot
he stated that cops and other certain privileged persons would be allowed to carry in his dream world. Check your privilege bro.
A well-armed citizenry will make it pretty damned tough for these creeps to shoot a few rounds without some return fire.
Thiruvendran Vignarajah, Bastard First.
I love it when the mask comes down.
Nope, he is one of the privileged. He means 'ban guns for thee, but not for me'.
If the NRA and GOA were not such gutless frauds they would be bringing a RICO suit/charges for denial of civil rights under color of authority.
But obviously they are gutless income generators because dispute rafts of abuses like this, not one suit or criminal complaint has been filed.
You first. If the government refuses to disarm, no idea why the people would.
Yep disarm all police first. If that works after 100 years we can talk about disarming everybody else.
Isn’t this also the state of the pop tart gun? Maryland always struck me as a fascist nanny state.
That has severe bumper sticker potential.
Well it’s a good thing she’s just a deputy AG.
Ummm....no thanks! (banning guns altogether).
I may be crazy, but I really think there is beginning to be a serious backlash against the PC pro-Islam propaganda...Paris, then San Bernadino, in quick succession...People are fed up and beginning to call a spade a spade. Even the news up here is reporting that couple`s ISIS connections.
And as a result, the leftists are becoming ever more desperate.
Banning guns altogether? And this is an ATTORNEY general who is supposed to have at least read the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
LOL. :)
Already swiped it and will laminate in the morning.
Ban IED’s.
Oh, wait a minute. They are already illegal.
What a bone head. If he wants to ban guns in his own house he is perfectly within his rights to do so. To tell anyone else to do it who are legally able to buy and own a firearm, well, thems fighting words.
I really do wish these anti-American jerks would get the hell out of our country and never come back. The country and us would be soooo much better off.
It’s hard enough to fight and protect ourselves against the criminals and terrorists. Fighting those who want to take our natural (God Given) rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights just makes a bad situation even worse.
From obamao on down; I do wish they would STFU and stick with something they know about like anal sex for instance. Sheesh!!
Must be auditioning for a place in the obama administration. O, wait, he already has one.
