The gun grabbers are at it again in Maryland. Next month, the state's House Judiciary Committee will initiate hearings on legislation forcing firearms enthusiasts to register with the state government before they can exercise their Second Amendment rights.
The plan, drafted by Delegate Samuel I. Rosenberg, Baltimore Democrat, and Sen. Brian E. Frosh, Montgomery County Democrat, would mandate that citizens carry a special license while conducting any number of routine transactions involving a gun.
To obtain a gun license, a person must fill out a long application form, attend a comprehensive firearms safety course, pay a nonrefundable fee to the state and wait 30 days for the completion of a criminal background check. If all items are processed properly, the Maryland State Police would drop the license in the mail.
It would become a crime to go to a gun range and rent a firearm for a little target shooting without this license in hand. Out-of-state visitors who might want to keep up their skills while on vacation would be out of luck under the proposal because they would not even be allowed to apply for a state gun license.

Well this tells one side. What are Rosenberg and Frosh hoping to correct with this state addendum? How does it circumnavigate over a Bill of Rights law...the supreme law of the the land?
We need to let these people know how we feel about this-- Mr. Frosh is available at 301/ 858-3102, Brian.frosh@senate.state.md.us, and Mr. Rosenberg can be reached at 301/858-3179, samuel.rosenberg@ house.state.md.us.
Also call your local delegate (like Page Elmore) and your senator (Stoltzfus/Colburn).
We need to light up some phones!
What about "inalienable rights" don't these people understand?
Thanks for the numbers 9:05, I just don't think it matters to these Gun Haters! Something more in the line of Civil Disobedience may be more effective. Apparently these Reps feel secure in their elected office, I sincerely hope they are Dead wrong come reelection time.
I will do all I can to make sure neither returns to office.
From a Gun Owner who plans to stay that way.
Just a thought, How about we find out where these characters live and show up at the front door and make a lot of NOISE.
can someone please run against Frosh? this nut seems like an easy target, considering he held up Jessica's law and is the reason people like Leggs were still walking the streets.
This is a copy of the e-mail I just sent.
I would strongly urge you to reconsider your position on the bill before you relating to firearm licensing and registration. As the push toward bringing our nation back to it's constitutional beginnings gains steam, the number of politicians who continue to suppress the rights of the U.S. citizens protected by the Bill of Rights will find themselves looking for jobs in November. We The People are sick and tired of having our Constitutional Rights stepped on and watered down by the attempts of politicians pandering to special interest groups to assure they retian their political power.
Enough is enough!
The economy is in the tank. The nation is as close to revolution as it has been since the civil war and politicians continue to treat their citizens as subjects. Political change is as close as the next election. Wake up and stop treading on the rights of the citizens.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
What part of "....shall not be infringed" do you all not understand? In the recent SCOTUS case D.C. vs Heller the court held that the right to keep and bear arms is AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT. (Remember the "individual" citizen? The ones who voted for you?) It is also a right that is inalienable. This means that U.S. citizens and their rights cannot be separated. These rights are endowed upon us by our creator. Does the State now believe that it's authority is above that of the creator?
43 other states in the union have gone in the opposite direction, loosening up on their unconstitutional laws forbidding citizens from bearing firearms. Each of these states has experienced a decrease in violent crimes. Will you follow their lead and do the right thing? Or will you continue on your path of oppression?
This year will be the beginning of a new level of transparency of government. This transparency will include the names of politicians receiving money from special interest groups - and with the blogs gaining popularity, you can be sure that the number of people getting ALL of the facts will be unprecedented.
Will you be in the number of those politicians who live up to the oath of office they took upon swearing in? Or will you be among those who are identified as betrayers of the oath and ultimately the people?
You decide.....and We The People will vote!
This is why I'm happy if I don't live in MD again. I grew up in MD, but am glad I don't live there now. It's the nazi state.
I actually hope this goes through, it will ensure that Martin O'Malley is voted out along with Frank Kratovil. It doesn't matter who voted against it, I can promise all of you that every independent and Republican voter in this district will get an electronic phone call just prior to election and be reminded of this fact, this kind of stuff will ensure that ANY democrat running opposed will get the axe!
Bring it on Baby!
