Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley will seek to institute some of the nations strictest gun-licensing requirements, ban assault weapons and restrict visitor access to schools in one of the most expansive government responses sought to last months school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Perhaps most controversially, OMalley (D) will ask the General Assembly to force prospective gun owners to provide fingerprints to state police, complete a hands-on weapon-familiarization and gun-safety course, and undergo a background check to be licensed.
And the governor is seeking new measures to keep guns out of the hands of those with mental illness who show violent tendencies. .... (read more at link))

This is quite an IN thing to do with State Executives nowadays.
After all, it's a common sense tool.
From my cold, dead hands libtards!!
Well, their ballistic fingerprinting program proved such a success!
What do you mean you can’t get prints from that side of that finger?
“And the governor is seeking new measures to keep guns out of the hands of those with mental illness who show violent tendencies....”
I want to hear the details/mechanics of that plan.

They’ll have to call this the Constitutional Lawyers’ Full Employment Act of 2013...
Sure, they’ll be around your necks.
I swear I did all that crap when I bought my XD40...5 years ago!
That is every prepper with more than three days of food as Homeland Security has already said these people are suspected domestic terrorists. Can't let them have a gun.
Memo to Maryland from gun owner:
I want my footprint on your butt!
You... you... you mean like Massachusetts has had since 1998? And will local police chiefs have the ability to deny you a permit because they don’t like your face, like in Massachusetts? And will the whim of the COP be unappealable in court, like here in Massachusetts? And will the state AG be allowed to deny the sale of any gun he personally doesn’t like, like here in Massachusetts? And will all new guns sold have to adhere to insane, one in the country manufacturing rules like here in Massachusetts? And will all guns sold have to pass a drop test onto concrete, like here in Massachusetts? Embrace the suck. Then join the NRA, GOA, GOAL, any pro-gun group you can find. Or STFU.
You want my fingerprints. Sure, you can take them just as soon as you pry the gun from my cold, dead hands.
****will ask the General Assembly to force prospective gun owners to provide fingerprints to state police****
OKC and Tulsa, OK used to do that for many years. Then it was found it did not solve any crimes so they stopped.
Gun buyers already have to clear a background check.
Where were all these Governors when Fast & Furious came to light?
Seems they surely were silent.
As a thought exercise, apply the same restrictions to those that want to purchase a book and see how the lib heads just about explode. It is actually quite entertaining to see the mental gymnastics of their cognitive dissonance.
Well, that would definitely include me. IINM, DHS also included US Vets and several other groups in that category.
