Maryland Hearing on Gun Control Measures

[GunLink]

From NSSF Action Alert:

Make Every Attempt to Attend Wednesday's Hearing;
Governor and MD Legislators Seek Sweeping Gun Control

Let Your Voice Be Heard

Gov. O'Malley and other anti-gun legislators are seeking outright bans and onerous restrictions on your rights through an enormous number of anti-gun bills, most notably SB 281 and HB 294. This Wednesday might be the only chance for your voice to be heard before legislators push legislation that will seriously affect not only your Second Amendment rights, but also the rifles and magazines you currently own. Maryland manufacturers will be directly affected by this legislation, resulting in the loss of good paying jobs and badly needed tax revenue to the state.

Gov. O'Malley's SB 281 has been referred to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee and will be heard this Wednesday, Feb. 6. This bill is expected to move very quickly through the legislative process, so it is imperative that you contact committee members and your own state legislators IMMEDIATELY and urge them to oppose this legislation. Additionally, plan to testify on Feb. 6 before the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee in opposition to SB 281.

NSSF is urging all gun owners, sportsmen and hunters to attend Wednesday's public hearing to be held in 2 East Miller Senate Building, 11 Bladen Street, Annapolis, Md. at 1 p.m. and to contact their state representative, senator and all members of the Committee immediately, urging them to oppose fast-track legislation.

Here are a just few of the items included in SB 281:

    An outright ban on ALL modern sporting rifles classifying them as "Assault Weapons."
    Arbitrarily restricting the magazine size to 10 rounds.
    Confiscating ALL magazines holding more than 10 rounds, those for pistols included.
    Statewide gun registration for ALL firearms; knowing full well criminals won't ever register their guns.

NSSF urges you to contact the members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee before their hearing on Feb. 6, and continue to contact your state senator and delegates. If you wish to give testimony during the hearing, information on how to do so can be found here.
