Maryland gearing up for gun ban fight

[funkyflathead]

With the federal ban on assault weapons set to expire in September -- and little sign that the Republican-led Congress will extend it -- gun-control advocates are taking their case to Annapolis. Several Howard County officials are gearing up for leading roles in the debate on whether Maryland should adopt a statewide ban.............

1. CCan't wait to hang assault weapons on the GOP extremists

during the election season...there's an issue that will drag them down.

<sarcasm>Yeah, that's the number one problem facing America...nutcases and criminals can't get their sweaty shaky hands on enough assault weapons. </sarcasm>

2. I already sent letters OPPOSING the stupid ban

to all three state delegates and my state senator.

The "Evil" weapons do the same thing, in the exact same way, as my "benign," non-banned, Ruger 10/22 rifle , or my BIL's Remington 1100(?) shotgun.

Ergonomics make no damn bit of difference.
