Re: Your meeting with Sarah Brady
Dear Senator Frosh,
If the current pending gun legislation in Maryland was in effect in 1981, I don't think it would have prevented John Hinkley from purchasing a firearm and shooting Sarah Brady’s husband. The weapon used was a .22 caliber revolver.
If the current pending gun legislation in Maryland was in effect in Newtown, Connecticut, I don’t think it would have prevented the Sandy Hook tragedy. The shooter obtained the guns illegally by killing his own mother. Unfortunately he had all the time he needed to reload his firearm against defenseless children. A semiautomatic firearm or high capacity magazines were of no benefit to him in committing the murders.
If the current pending gun legislation in Maryland was in effect in Virginia during the Virginia Tech shooting, I don’t think it would have prevented the campus shooting. The shooter was armed with two handguns: one with a 10 round magazine and one with a 15 round magazine.
If the current pending gun legislation in Maryland was in effect in Columbine, Colorado, I don’t think it would have prevented the Columbine massacre. There were two shooters in Columbine. One had a legal (unregulated) rifle with 13 – 10 round magazines and one shooter had a regulated semi-automatic handgun with high capacity magazines (1 -28 round, 1-32 round, and 1 -52 round). Ironically the shooter with the standard capacity rifle got off 96 shots whereas as the shooter with the “banned” handgun only got off 55 shots.
You will note that all five shooters in these four incidents suffered from various forms of mental illnesses.
By now you’ve probably caught on to the theme of my letter. Senate Bill 281 will have no practical effect on reducing gun crimes in Maryland. It will not make us safer from the common threat of gang violence, repeat offenders, and the mentally deranged. I urge you to help craft meaningful legislation to help reduce crime in our state.
Sincerely,
pbharvey
The guy on the left of the couch looks like Vinnie DeMarco; I believe he has headed every anti gun group in Maryland ; When I was involved with legislation he headed Marylanders for Handgun Control.
Sarah Brady.
Who is the guy on he left end of the couch?
Isn't the guy in the middle Andy Harris?
