People keep saying this, but the bill does not actually specify a fee for registering your guns BEFORE the bill goes into effect. It is, presumably, just the free voluntary registration process we currently have.
Ok. Thanks.

Guns made prior to 1970 are exempt from HQL, you just 77r them
But the bill makes no mention of actual registration cost.
It also doesn’t mention if you purchased something on a 77r if you have to in effect register it again or how to find out if it is already registered. So a guessing game if you’d need to comply.
Also calibers that might be banned, but do I know? It says 7.62mm caliber for pistols as being banned and gives examples. But 7.62x25 isn’t mentioned. I suspect that would be banned in the end. But what about 7.62 Nagant or .30 luger? Those sure as shit aren’t “armor piercing” nor “rifle rounds” in a pistol. But they are “7.62mm caliber”.
I want to see the head of MSP say with a straight face that this can be enforced
We need to have every pro2A senator and delegate ask him that question over and over when he is called to testify on these bills
I doubt they’ll care.
I doubt they’ll care. One of us here, one of us there. “Criminals” engaged in activity we have legally engaged in for decades. In the name of “public safety”.
A correction to MSI’s summary. There is no stated cost to register. The $290 and increasing are civil fines if you FAIL to register by January 1, 2021.
The HB says you must own it by 10/1/2020. It must be registered by 1/1/2021. Failure to do so results in a fine upon registration of $290 starting 1/1/2021. It goes up in May of 2021 to November of 2022 to $580. And then again to finally end up being $1000 fine for voluntarily registering or being caught with one from November 2022 to May 2023.
After May 1, 2023 if you are caught with one, it is punishable by up to a year in prison.
PS nothing about the firearm being confiscated or being forced to register it if you are caught with it prior to 5/1/2023. Just know once that date is hit, you cannot legally possess it any more or register it.
It may be a bad assumption, but it is likely the current $10 fee to register as many firearms on a 77r as you’d like.

Some manufacturers make pistol caliber loading that likely can or ARE known to penetrate at least IIa body armor and in a few cases IIIa. So does this mean all handguns in said caliber are now banned? Because that’ll probably only leave .45acp, 22lr, .38spc, 380 and .32acp.

If this bill passes I'm leaving Maryland, and I'm taking about 50k/year in tax revenue with me. This state is run by a bunch of jackasses.
