RIP 2016 Maryland Gun Control Bills....

[Kang Colby]

Maryland's state legislature loaded up the legislative bong with all kinds of off the wall gun control proposals this legislative session.

The state Bloomberg backed controllers pushed the following "sensible, common sense" legislation:

1) Toy gun ban
2) Universal background checks for rifles/shotguns (handguns already require background checks)
3) Terror watch list bill
4) Ban on campus carry (CCWs were NOT excluded from this proposed law)
5) A bill that would treat antiques as modern firearms for regulatory purposes


...And several other pieces of crap, like a domestic violence bill that didn't make sense as it was actually weaker than existing federal law...the sad thing is that the antis couldn't be bothered to take an inventory of existing laws.

And guess what? They all failed as of an hour ago under Democratic super majorities in the state house and senate. Is this the tipping point?

I'll update this post as the news outlets and antis hear the "bad news." Day in and day out, pro-rights individuals made calls, testified on bills, wrote letters, met with legislators, protested, made more calls, sent donations, etc. The controllers showed up one day on a Bloomberg charter bus, only to be heard from periodically via Facebook.

P.S. in the coming days I will spotlight these big wins in Oregon, Virginia, Maryland, and several other states that accomplished big things this legislative season.
