      HBAR vs. other barrel profiles

      I'll ask my wise brothers for some feedback on something that has been nagging at me since SB281 went into effect. Why would an HBAR profile be acceptable for an AR build (80% or stripped lower) or if purchasing a complete rifle from a shop vs. illegal if using government, light or pencil...

      The Defeat of 2A Champion Delegate Smigiel

      I want to share some insider information about the defeat of Maryland's top protector of Second Amendment Rights. Smigiel had the reputation for being a pit bull when it came to protecting the Liberties of Maryland citizens and it forced many RINOs to go on record about controversial issues that...

      So much for the Frosh promise of no push for new gun laws

      http://www.gazette.net/article/20131219/NEWS/131219138/1022/recent-court-case-has-md-officials-calling-for-change-to-state-gun&template=gazette Imagine and prepare for the amendments to this one. Is it likely to pass? I'd say so (after all it is for the "kids").

      M1A - Before SB281 what were they classfied as?

      Quick Question for everyone who remembers the time before the dark days of SB281. Were Springfield M1A's classified as a Long Rifles or Regulated Firearms then? I know about their C&R designation, but I am asking this questions as it would apply to non C&R holders. Thanks for the information!

      4 HO CO Police roll up - man with a gun

      Was being interviewed by NPR today WMAU 88.5 http://wamu.org/ at my Real Estate Office {I happen to be an FFL also} re: SB281. We discussed the illogical regulations and fecklessness of the law and it's effects upon law-abiding citizens. While I was explaining how AR15's .223 would be...

      Post 10/1 and educating your child practicing safe gun control

      I do not know if this question has been answered already, but post 10/1 and all grand fathered guns and gun owners, when going to the range to educate their children safe gun control and usage. Will this be illegal due to the new term in SB281 about taking possession of a regulated handgun...

      Buying a Handgun with New Law

      I understand that there are probably a billion threads which might answer this question, if someone could answer this for me then I will happily delete my own thread. In a spur of the moment decision yesterday I purchased a S&W MP40, now it just hit me that with the huge backlog I might not take...

      Limited Time/Newb on Suppressors

      Hey Crew, I appreciate all the advice I have received here on this board. I don't want you to spend a lot of time with a response so a quick response is all I am looking for. Here is the deal, I read SB281 and realize I won't be acquiring any threaded barrels in MD after October...

      What's on your pre-ban shopping list?

      Aside for stocking up on AR15 lowers, what are folks planning to buy before 10/1? I'm a complete newbie, so I'm looking at 3 to 5 AR15 stripped lowers, ideally one SBRed because I'm not convinced it will be possible for Form 1 them after 10/1; maybe an AK; and possibly the S&W M&P 15-22 simply...

      Best chance at successfully defeating SB281? Donation to MSI, NRA, SAF?

      I want to get the biggest bang for my donation buck, so I'd like to know which Pro2A organization stands the best chance at successfully defeating, or at least postponing SB281 leading up to it's October 1st effective date? I have heard that the NRA is planning on suing the state, and MSI is...

      Why do they have more rights than we do!!!

      I just received a letter outlining that piece of garbage that is called SB281 from Delegate Kelly Schultz. The outline is excellent but in it for the banned rifles, mag capacity and handgun license active and retired law enforcement offices are exempt as well as active military are. Really since...

      Del. Dumais sums up her role on SB281 in Post interview

      Ugh. Short excerpt: I was for a very brief period of time, “a bright light” [to opponents of the gun bill]. However, last night a man came by and told me that he was going to contact everyone that had given money to my last campaign and tell them not to support me because I worked on and...

      What does the NRA do....

      when issues like that of "Good Friday" occur and steal the rights of gun owners? Does anyone know what Shannon Alford does when she sees the state legislature blatantly trample the constitution? Just curious. It was so blatant and out in the open that I can't imagine that someone of some...

      Dels. Dumais & Simmons push back on WaPo reports on Md. AWB

      On liberal insider blog, Simmons and Dumais offer tremendous insight into their views on pending legislation, especially the "Assault Weapons" Ban. They rebuke WaPo on mis-reporting and simplistic editorials, and chide O'Malley for strong-arming legislators. But they remain very non-committal...
