"Typical White Person"

A quick summary for you:
Quote:
Altering the authorization for a person to wear, carry, or transport a handgun to be within specified limitations; designating specified firearms as assault weapons; prohibiting, with specified exceptions, a person from transporting an assault weapon into the State or possessing, selling, offering to sell, transferring, purchasing, or receiving an assault weapon; authorizing specified licensed firearms dealers to continue to possess, sell, offer for sale, or transfer specified weapons under specified circumstances; etc.
Highlights thus far:
1. Guns will be grandfathered, but need to be registered.
2. Magazines are the same as before, just lowered to 10rds.
3. Muzzle brakes, comps, and threaded barrels are not banned features on rifles (but you would not be able to mount a suppressor, as it's a flash hider).
4. Pump and bolt guns are exempted.
5. Threaded barrels on pistols are banned, but only if they can be used for a muzzle device (aka, doesn't ban non-threaded-barrel P22s by accident).
6. Restrictions on semi-auto shotguns are surprisingly light (folding/telescoping stock + PG is the only thing banned).
7. Everything on the current regulated long arms list is banned, including their copies.
8. Inheritance is in!
9. Rimfire rifles are not included, but rimfire pistols are included.
10. Bullet buttons seem to be addressed, but the language is bizarre and unclear.
11. Carry permits require 16h training.
12. Handgun permits require 8h training (or a carry permit), background check, and $100 every five years.
13. Much more flexibility for prohibiting individuals from ownership on mental health issues.
14. "Good and substantial reason" language for carry permits is still present.
15. Bans possession of ammunition if you would be prohibited from owning a regulated firearm (which includes people under 21).
As was stated, we need emails, calls, letters. This is a DIRECT infringement on our 2A rights....they target Assualt Weapons, but then go for everything....stop the madness and spread the word.
As well, there is a meeting on 2/8 in Annapolis to protest...looking for 100's maybe 1000's to show up. Please do your part...let's not wait until an "I told you so" thread pops up.
Please share this with people you know that are like minded
