2E???
Sorry--2E was supposed to be 2A short for 2nd Amendment--corrected typo.
2E???
Bump: Hillary edition.
The names have changed, the spin has changed, but the proposals have not.
Around the year 2000, Curran came to Caroline County, Maryland and met with "the best and brightest" from our two high schools for a forum, maybe 8 kids total, responding to questions from Curran about "social issues" in and out of school, including drugs, race relations, etc. I was in the audience. Here's the best way I can describe it:
Curran: So how would you rank Caroline County's gun problem: bad, very bad, or extremely bad?
Kids: Uh, we don't have a gun problem here.
Curran: Oh, I would have thought there would be guns around in a rural county.
Kids: There are lots of guns around. We just don't have a problem.
Curran: So, it sounds like maybe its "very bad" then.
Kids: No, not bad at all.
Curran: Well, the lowest category I have is "bad" so we'll just mark it down as a "bad gun problem" and move on to the next issue.
I know this sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit, but I saw it happen.
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
All laws, and gun laws in particular, are ineffective without compliance. Criminals by definition do not comply with laws. Yet anti-gun proponents claim that gun laws have prevented criminals from obtaining guns; a claim that is refuted every single time a criminal uses a gun. Gun-banning politicians have yet to craft effective legislation that forces criminals to comply but does not violate the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun-owners.

And what does the Saviour of the murdered have to say about exponentially more murdered unborn aborted babies than all the guns put together have taken? Where is his outcry to save their lives? I don't see the tools the murdering abortionists use on 1 single BILL to close the Abortion Loopholes and ban or serialize their use.
I just hope one day they push just a bit far and then Scotus slaps their pee pee's .
