O'Malley Press conference 1/18/13 @ 0930 - gun control

[missing_the_cheese]

• Licensing for Handgun purchases
• Prospective AWB (not retroactive)
• 10 round magazine limit
• $$ for school safety
• $$ for Mental health

And where is this $$$ going to come from??? MD has adequate school safety and response programs in place already. The shooting at Perry Hall high showed that the plan was effective.

 

[PJDiesel]

Defintition of Assault Weapon - will be expanding

Center fire rifle with one additional feature.

30.06 with a scope?

 

[JasonB]

No one knows about any of this besides the people refreshing this thread. Guaranteed.

So that means we can get a jump on contacting our reps before this hits the evening news! Keep their lines busy!

 

[pwoolford]

I wish someone would have asked him how many people were killed in MD with "assault weapons" last year. That or reminded him the CT school shooting was NOT done with an "assault weapon"!

 

[eruby]

The people of New York rolled over.

We cannot, and we will not. We have fought before and will again now.

 

[mdshore]

he got the hair cutting lic thing from Micheal Moore interview.

 

[scottp999]

If it is like NY, I don't believe at all that it will be a license to purchase a handgun going forward. It will be a license to possess one and will impact all current owners. We will have to pay a fee, and renew something like every 5 years.

We cannot, and we will not. We have fought before and will again now.

It's sad but I feel like your Avatar is going to be the way it is in MD moving forward.......

 

[akrobatik]

The people of New York rolled over.

We cannot, and we will not. We have fought before and will again now.

Wasn't there a grandfather clause on NY semi-auto rifles? I didn't hear anything about MD doing a grandfather clause

 

[Catch-This-22]

Why isn't anyone mentioning the more obvious sign of crime ridden areas...economics!

I'd love to see some research regarding average wage earning in all Maryland city's and compare that to crime rates.

Baltimore and Oxon Hill? Are you kidding me?

 

[dlmcbm]

we can still have mp15-22....not center fire

 

[tc617]

emails sent.

 

[stu929]

The first thing he does when he wakes up is read how many MDers have died to violent crime? What a crock.

 

[scottp999]

The people of New York rolled over.

We cannot, and we will not. We have fought before and will again now.

NY people did not roll over, the politicians they elected took the opportunity to pass a bill before people even knew what happened. That's how removing rights is done in laws of the state. Its over before you can even organize real opposition. Then all you have is the law you believe in over the state law, but the state can use force through their enforcement officers and courts if you don't obey.

Sad times.

 

[X-Factor]

Round 2 of del/sen emails sent. To ALL of them.

 

[Zanderx]

So he want a AWB. Did he talk about current ones in our hands? do we have to re-license them or anything? Sorry just got on here

 

[mdshore]

is there an email list to send to ?

 

[missing_the_cheese]

His analogy for license requirements to cars isn't legit... driving is a privilege not a right...

 

[kjf45]

30.06 with a scope?

You'll be screwed. And this is how they will be going after the hunters depending on how they write it. "Center fire rifle with one additional feature" Doesn't state whether bolt action or semi auto.
