Doesn’t matter if it was a choirboy, the state of Maryland is already far enough to the left that they’re going to pass an omnibus gun control passage to make them the California of New England.
“——— to make them the California of New England.”
Huh?
This happened in Maryland.
.
New England?
Apparently US geography is not your strength.
Hey! New England has enough problems without foisting Maryland on us!
Well Maryland isn’t in New England, but whatever. Your larger point is well taken.
“the California of New England.:
You might want to work on your geography, Maryland is in the Mid-Atlantic states.
GUN CONTROL
Ultimately, we can’t show cause and effect for events that occurred years ago. But here is some history that you can research for yourself. This is what CAN happen when the people are disarmed, regardless of how much time passes before it actually occurs. Ask yourself this: can events like this even happen if the people are armed?

• “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” - Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition, Pg. 425-426.

• 1996, Australia
• In 1996, with the homicide rate at 1.6/100000, The National Firearms Agreement was signed into law. Australians were forced by the new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. By 2002, the homicide rate had risen to 1.8/100000. Since then, the rate has steadily declined(as well as the USA and other developed countries) to 1.2/100000 for the 2008 - 10 period. Theoretically, if gun confiscation reduced murder(or other violent crime), rates should have immediately dropped and remained lower. Source: Australian Institute Of Criminology.
