Senator Glassman released the following email:
As a native of Harford County, I always remind folks that one of the first declarations which expressed support for the Patriot Cause in the emerging American Revolution was signed here in Harford County in Harford Town, near the intersection of Bush in 1775. This document, also known as the Bush Declaration, was signed by thirty-four Harford Countians. At the end of the Bush Declaration, our County's motto was born with the words, "at the risque of our lives and fortunes."
With that being said, I hold a great deal of respect for the founding principles of our Nation and view the current Second Amendment debate here in Annapolis as an assault on one of the original premises of our democracy. I feel that, too often, we give up our freedoms much easier than the cost to our forefathers who fought for and crafted our original liberties.
I do not have to review the extensive shortcomings of the Governor's anti-Second Amendment legislation to point out all of its flaws. I can only assure you that I will oppose these gun control measures on the Senate floor, along with my colleagues, in support of the Second Amendment.
Thank you for your time and citizenship that you have shown in support for one of the freedoms that we enjoy under the first ten amendments of the Constitution.
With every good wish, I remain
Very truly yours,
Barry Glassman, Senator
