This measure is an "assault weapons" ban which is so draconian that it punishes law-abiding gun owners whose guns are stolen from their homes. (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/01/Maryland-Dems-Ram-Through-Sweeping-Gun-Control-On-Good-Friday)
"In this way, the legislation not only bars the procurement of new "assault weapons" but also turns ownership of weapons acquired before the ban into a risky proposition.
Republican delegate Mike Smigiel offered an amendment that would have changed the language in S.B. 281 so as to protect gun owners by punishing criminals who steal guns instead, but Democrats mounted a push keep Smigiel's amendment from passing.
Former Secret Service Agent and 2012 candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland Daniel Bongino spoke to Breitbart News and described the antics behind the defeat of Smigiel's amendment:
Political cowards in the Maryland legislature scheduled a gun hearing on Good Friday to avoid media attention after a massive public outcry against this overreaching legislative firearm grab. Then...they broke their own parliamentary procedures in order to punish legal firearm owners and protect criminals.
Republican delegate Mike Smigiel introduced a common-sense amendment to Gov. O'Malley's S.B. 281--an amendment that would have punished criminals who steal guns from the homes of their owners. The original bill only punished the firearm owner for having his or her home broken into, but contained no punishment for the actual criminal. Smigiel's amendment passed on a proper committee vote. But the committee Chair then took the unprecedented step of ordering a new vote. The Chair was then able to use bullying tactics to force two Democrats to change their votes which, in turn, killed the amendment.
The day before the vote on S.B. 281 took place, the NRA used similar language in warning of Gov. O'Malley's "deceptive tactics and political bullying"."

Obviously they don't want to punish thieves of guns because that robs them of the ability to make gun owners cower in fear of owning a firearm at all.
F***ers.
Hate.

What Connecticut did was worse. (http://www.boston.com/news/education/2013/04/01/conn-proposals-guns-other-items-after-newtown/0Qn1nJQI3223inrmQWfMFI/story.html) They are going to have some kind of authorization needed in advance to purchase a firearm or ammunition. That is the kind of thing that police states do.
—Ban sales of high-capacity ammunition magazines;
—Background checks for private gun sales;
—New registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets;
—Statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, which lawmakers said is the nation’s first;
—Immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales;
—Expansion of Connecticut’s assault weapons ban;
—Safety training and other requirements to buy any rifle, shotgun or ammunition;
—Increases minimum age eligibility for purchase of some semi-automatic rifles to 21;
— Expands requirements for safe storage of firearms;
— Increases penalties for firearms trafficking and illegal possession offenses.
Or this link... (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20130402/DA5D80EG2.html)
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state's assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned.
It is talk of things like this and now this that are pushing (hard) the ammunition buying panic.

The cowards perpetrating this are oblivious to the consequences, as are the enablers sitting by and refusing to take a stand.
Good Whittle clip Weisshaupt, that is exactly how the debate should be framed by leaders, sure wish there were some around!
Oh, and their co-conspirators are pressing forward too!

I guess the Maryland branch of the DemoNazi party was unswayed by the simple and stunning truth provided by a 15 year old girl residing in their state...hence the move to railroad this treasonous bill through on a weekend...
