(Ammoland.com) - The General Assembly is now engaged in a full-fledged assault on gun owners. They've introduced a total revamp of the poorly named Firearm Safety Act of 2013 and a host of other bills that criminalize and punish gun owners. A full list of bills can be found on our bill tracker, which can be found here. It's imperative you meet and speak with your representatives in opposition to these bills. They need to see and hear from you, the people they're willing to have locked up. If you don't know who represents you, you can find them and their contact info HERE, https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/07leg/html/gaco.html
Here is a sampling. Please note the hearing dates for these bills and plan on being there. We do our best to protect gun owners, but no one should be a free-rider in the face of these threats. (See full article for details)

Add this to Virginia's latest 'gun control' moves and it's painfully evident that the push is on by various states to try and enact further egregious anti Second Amendment legislation. As so often, many proposed new restrictions purport to be "sensible" measures to limit 'gun violence' when all they do is infringe on the rights of good people, with no effect on criminals. The objective is the same as usual - to eventually disarm the citizenry.
