Kirk at the Fun Turns to Tragedy Blog does an absolutely ruthless job of disassembling a new piece of proposed feel good legislation that would serve to make up a list of �Officially Recognized Assault Weapons� in Maryland.
Just a taste,
Maryland legislators are famous for making lists.
They then go on to use these lists to make it hard to get things.
Here is an example of said lists. In order for the sales of a handgun in the state of Maryland it must be on an approved list that is approved by an arbitrary panel over at the state police HQ. If it is not on this list you can�t get it in Maryland. They did the same thing with the integral firearm locks in MD (and are currently being sued) by not approving new types of locks. This did a very nice job of banning new guns in MD for the last 3 years. Now many manufactures include the integrated (you can open most of them with a bent piece of wire) locks which not many use.
That was just a mild bit of it. Head on over and check out the rest.
He also includes a list of legislators. If you know a gunny in MD, get them to that list and let them know that they need to get on the horn.
