MD Gun Bills

[davep]

MD Legislature has some HORRIBLE anti-gun bills in the hopper:

One of the worst is SB 0281: it will require registration, a $100 license/5 years, plus $15 per regulated gun, and NO transport allowed: so you can keep them, just can't go hunting, or to the range, or compete,etc) Plus, all kinds of training requirements,etc,etc,etc

NO possession of ammunition for those under 21 (and NO exemptions for hunting, target shooting,etc)

An 18 years old can put his life on the line in harm's way for our country, but can't posses a single round of ammunition back in home in MD?

All kinds of crap in this bill, and plenty more bills to follow.

Here is a GREAT link from Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore to email EVERY member of the Senate Judiciary Committee at once, with one email. Somtimes it is slow, but please get it donw.
Getting close to 1/2 million emails sent!

I suggest starting with the Sen. Jud. Committee, plus your Senator, and maybe Senate Pres Mike Miller.

They also have links to hit your Delegates and all US Congressmen and Senators.

Ruger also has the smae setup linked on their website.

This is a quick and easy way, but I'd also suggest writing a few old fashioned letters and making a few followup calls, esp to your District's officials (all links on AGCB site)

But at LEAST send the emails!

Hearings on gun bills will be Wednesday Feb 6 in Annapolis, at 1 pm I think. If you can, please try to make it. You can testify, but plan on getting their early.

We NEED to stop this now!
So PLEASE at least send the emails, and make your voice heard, instead of crying about it if/when it passes.

And PLEASE be respectful. If you are a vet or LEO, let them know.

It's going to be an uphill battle, but there are some on the committee who may be swayed by reason, instead of emotion.

PLEASE pass it on, get family and friends to weigh in, and lets flood them. Remember, although many forget it, they work for US.

Thanks, Dave

these "law makers" are a freaking joke..

It was so hard to be respectful! I sent several e-mails out last week! This is ripping me a part! I have a friend who just put his house on the market and is moving to Texas! I am about ready to jump ship as well but I will have to foreclose on my house which I do not want to do! I have been voicing my opinion a ton on FB as well which has not made me very popular.

I touched on some of this in my column last week - actually had one hunter e-mail me and said he was gong to quit reading my column because I'm as "paranoid as the NRA" and he isn't afraid of losing his 2A rights. With people that apathetic or uninformed, and supposedly on our side, I'm scared what's going to happen...

It's gonna be interesting....been having debates in the office since this started. this battle won't be pretty.

Just a reminder, take a few minutes and fire off another round of emails, and maybe some phone calls.

We HAVE to keep the pressure on.

Looks like Senate judiciary Committee WILL vote on SB 281 THIS week, ahead of House hearings on the companion bill.

So, hit them with another round of emails, calls, etc.
They were getting over 100,000 contacts per DAY, now has dropped to 2,000 +/-
Let them KNOW we aren't asleep.

Here's another link for an EASY way to get it done, ina few seconds.

actionmail.ksconline.net/

Scroll down to "MD General Assembly" in blue, then "contact your reps by selected committee" in green, then click on "here" next to "Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee".

Fill in required info (I gave name, email addy,let them guess if I'm in their district) then speak your piece, concisely and respectfully.

I simply used "Pending Legislation" for subject, so they HAVE to read at least the first sentence, and see my opposition to SB 281, instead of quickly deleting.

Only takes a couple minutes and we really need to keep after them.
Remember, they work for US!

Thanks, Dave
