Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Well, I guess Baltimore will be a City of Peace soon.

I really feel sorry for Freepers in solid blue states, you're going to be taking it up the keyster over the next year or so. You're only chance in many of these states is just too wait until the bill is signed and challenge it in federal court on 2nd amendment grounds and pray you get a conservative judge. At least with the recent pro 2nd amendment rulings from the Supreme Court you have some ammo at your disposal

***The bill would prohibit the sale of assault long guns and pistols and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. ***

We have come a long way from the days when they “only wanted to register handguns. Rifles and shotguns will not be affected.”

Well, now they are affected. As Nelson P Shields said...One step at a time.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

I’ve heard that we have some Freepers who actually choose to live in Maryland.

I wish Beretta USA would move out of Ankeaee, Maryland to a firearm friendly state.

The Beretta products I have owned are first class.

Yet if I have to contact them for some reason there is that address in anti-gun Maryland.
