It's been a rough week for us in the 2A community, trying our best to hold the line.
Especially considering it was supposed to be 4yrs of offense for a change..
Personally I have wrote, called officials and more importantly had great conversation with those in the middle..
What I have found tragic about most conversations is their ideas about firearms. Gun show loopholes (thanks Hillary), the idea that many are slaughter with "assault rifles" (the per year avg of total murders with ALL rifles is roughly 300 compared 750 with hands and feet, over 1600 avg with a knife, 500 with a hammer etc) the no background checks when buying them, machine guns being readily available, etc etc
I throughly explained the myths along with my extreme difficulty and financial troubles just to exercise my 2a right.. HQL, Background checks/online pin/apps, 7-8-9 day waits, vague and infringing handgun roster HBAR copy cat requirements eliminating 1,000's of models for purchase, 10rd machine limit, being treated like differently by online and out of state FFL's too afraid to deal with Marylanders many times, excessive fee's compared to other states, spending countless hours in class rooms for my Maryland wear and carry, HQL, Utah CCW so on and so forth..
It's a real shame the media feeds America such a left view and the worst part with reckless flat out lies whether accidental or purposely it's just unacceptable.
