The Maryland General Assembly is considering two gun control measures with another on the back burner. Maryland is already the most restrictive state, "they" feel more control is necessary.:icon_rage
A. A law to require all ammo to be "encoded". The Law would take effect in 2011, at which time, it would be illegal to own "non-coded ammo" of any type, 22 rim fire included. Trying to track down specifics, will post when I have them.:icon_rage
B. Extend the reach of current law to provide that any person accused of domestic violence would have all [B[/B]of their guns taken away by local police. The current law is that anyone convicted of domestic violence must surrender their weapons but this moves it back to mere accusal. I know that sounds like Germany in 1938, however it is being considered in Maryland. :icon_rage
C. A ban of on all assault weapons was considered last year. According to the State Senate Staffer with whom I talked said they were waiting for the "appropriate time" to bring it back up for discussion. The language in the proposal would outlaw ownership of all assault weapons, example M1 and M1 Carbine included. Those Maryland residents that currently own assault weapons would have to surrender them.:icon_rage
