Kind of cringed when he said that.

#297 is up - Scott from Edgewater.

Top story on Fox 45 is about Joe Flaco being signed, not a pep about you all down there on the front lines... Not that I'm surprised or anything.

HEY... they just mentioned the debate on Fox 45! Remarkable

I'm in the room & it just worked out that the counter timed down at the same time he said shit.

 

[Macsti]

Just got to #297

 

[SammyB]

Some one should get up there and say, "I support this bill, because if I happen to be a criminal, ALL of these people here would be disarmed, not be able to defend themselves and it'd be like taking candy from a baby...thank you"

What channel are u watching? I have Fios

510 on Fios, covering gun hearing after the break.

 

[ChannelCat]

Can anyone advise as to the latest figure on how many signed up both pro 2A and the gun haters?

 

[Goateggs]

I testified around 7:20-ish.

I have to say the panel is being far more considerate and respectful than the Senate committee was by a stretch. I aplaud those people for making the attempt to hear everyone.

I really have to agree with this. I could tell from watching who was for and against, but even the against people looked me in the eye when I was testifying, and everyone....every single last one of the staffers....treated us with respect and dignity. It was in every way a 100x more pleasant experience than that circus in the Senate on the 6th.

"I'd like all their time" lol

"a gun is not an assault weapon until you choose to assault someone with it" - perfect.

 

[Gbh]

His testimony is great.

I heard earlier today over 1k for pro 2a, and only a couple dozen pro-HB 294

 

[rivertamer]

They spoke more about a first grader getting suspended for chewing his poptart into the shape of a gun this morning..... there will be legislation for poptart guns soon....

They said more than 2000 showed up for hearing. They hinted there would be enough House votes to pass the bill.

And now a segment on Beretta. 15 round mags would be illegal. Rifles made in MD would be illegal. Other states courting Beretta e.g. WV. 400 jobs and millions in taxes. Del Glass said they cried wolf too often. "There always seems to be a problem with MD"

Reading all of your funny posts makes my wait to testify much more bearable.

I was kind of hoping that a lawyer would get up in support of the bill since it would be job security for him dealing with all the legal challenges to come.

My Buddy is 297. So if your Still there tell Scott that Ron and Gregg are watching and GOOD LUCK.

Thanks to everyone. I have said it several times today and I mean it. You people have hung tight and no one can say you didnt try, regardless of what the outcome may be.

You make me proud.

Remember to all, Drive Safe on way home.

Tell him Bravo Zulu. Kick ass!
