Has anyone fed this to any of our Delegates as ammunition? The closing paragraphs show - in their own words - what they're really trying to accomplish with licensing.

You have to love how so many Maryland officials acknowledge a "business need" for handgun permits but not permits for personal safety. IMO it goes to show that our government really doesn't care about the well-being of individuals.
I feel that if we don't do something, one day they will achieve their goal.
I can assure you that if that day comes it will make the Civil War look like a picnic.
"Our goal, then, must be to eliminate widespread handgun ownership...
The presence of handguns in homes across America endangers everyone. We do not need them ....We certainly do not need handguns badly enough to continue numbly to accept the pain and anguish they inflict. Handguns exact too high a price. We should pay it no longer."
Didn't notice on the thread if someone caught this but the link to the PDF doesn't seem to work.

Isn't Curran related to our current governor?
Father in law
But, it is Curran’s views about guns which are nutty. In an interview in February of 2000, Curran told me how his daughter had been car-jacked in the early 1990s by a man with a handgun. He also spoke about how his father had been shot at in Baltimore’s City Hall and later died of a heart attack.
Hitler honestly believed in what he was doing as well. He thought that it was good for his people and it would lead to 1000 years of peace and prosperity for Germany. Look what really happened though.In his defense, it seems like he truly believes that what he's doing is for the benefit of mankind. Doesn't make it right, but damn I'd love to know how people are that delusional.
The attached 63-page planning paper was written and published by J. Joseph Curran in 1999. For those not familiar, Curran was Maryland's fanatically anti-gun Attorney General from 1987-2007 before he retired and Gansler took the reigns. Curran was a darling of the Cease Fire crowd and worked closely with them throughout the years.
In this plan Curran does a good job of outlining the anti-gun crowd's multifaceted plan for gradually chipping away at, and in some cases eventually banning, private gun ownership, especially of handguns. From "educating the children" to think correctly to taking background checks to draconian levels to suing the manufacturers and dealers into oblivion, it's all in there.
The report was available for a long time on the State AG's website. It's was eventually taken down, perhaps at least partially in the hope that the Pro-2A movement would forget such a bold and detailed statement from an elected official regarding the true methods and goals of gun control in this state existed. However, the Internet Archive is a wonderful thing.
Bear in mind his closing statement:
p.63
So true.Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem. Gun control is people control.
I can assure you that if that day comes it will make the Civil War look like a picnic.
