This week, two Maryland House committees will review Gov. Martin OMalleys Firearms Safety Act of 2013, a bill that would ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines as well as require licensing and fingerprinting for all gun buyers.
Versions of the bill have already passed the full state House and state Senate, but the latest draft of the bill is now sitting before the House Judiciary committee and House Government Operations committee, both will give it a final vote before potentially sending it to the governors desk for his signature.
Rep. Jill P. Carter, one of the lawmakers who will decide the fate of the OMalleys Firearms Safety Act, has said that while she supports the bill, she is also open to amending it.
My constituents have overwhelmingly requested support for the governors bill, she told the Baltimore Sun. If its something they overwhelmingly want, its my obligation to do so. Adding, however, If there are other reasonable changes suggested from our work group, Im amenable to them.

We need the weapons manufacturers to come to red states. For reasons becoming more obvious every day....
...and we need all of the weapons and ammunition manufacturers to refuse to sell to any agency from the blue states until they stop denying the people access to their products.
All of it.
INterestingly, the reason why nothing has been done in Connecticut, a liberal’s liberal state with a liberal’s liberal governor and a liberal’s liberal state legislature where, of course, Newtown is located is...
Because it is the cradle and historic center of the American gun universe. So many companies started in CT, Sam Colt is a celebrated icon in the capitol city (Coltsville is becoming a National Historic Park soon). There are a ton of gun makers in Connecticut and their CEOs and other organizations have been getting as much airplay as the gun grabbers.
Can we get this on a Referendum?
If they leave MD, they will most likely stay somewhere in the mid-atlantic area. They have a warehouse in VA, my SWAG would be there or WV. This is sad, this will shut down msny small Mom and Pop businesses. MD is a cesspool of socialist enlightenment.
Thanks for the perspective.
There was nothing socialist about the enlightenment. Out of some of that came James Witherspoon (a signer of the Declarattion of Independence) who tutored James Madison. And many others.
The current pack of leftist vermin desire to destroy all that was good and great about the U.S. They cannot stand to see how freedom works and Socialism fails. They must re-write history to paper over this. They are doing it daily on the web.
BUT. With the truth,the pieces fit. With a Lie they never can. So they fail, rename their movement and fail again.
Totalitarianism in all it’s forms is evil.
God Bless the U.S., God Bless Texas, God Bless your family and mine.
Idiots.
Don't want them following me to Texas when I leave, either.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Oh, they know what it means, all right. They just want that definition limited to government personnel, IMO.
