Thank you to everyone who wrote letters or called the delegates. They were reportedly overwhelmed, impressed and greatly influenced with the letters, calls and the eventual decent sized showing at the hearing.
This just goes to show that in MD it is possible to get favorable gun laws passed as well as long as we show them we are watching and remind them that we vote.
Good news.

Question, how could this bill have an unfavorable report issued on 3/3 when it is only 3/1?

Next official business day I assume. In other words the information was probably released on Friday night (sometimes at one AM) meant to be read on Monday morning as I understand it.

Okay, I thought it might have been that Maryland suffered some form of ED with pre-mature legislation.

Hold on a second, no favorable gun law was passed just a stupid unfavorable gun law was not passed, big difference.

As I posted already, yes, huge difference. But the momentum is changing apparently. What seemed impossible just twelve years ago seems very possible now.
Hell, what seemed impossible just six years ago seems very possible now.
The only thing keeping us from progressing further is the status quo of defeatism which is changing as we speak.
