Maryland State Police told the 11 News I-Team that there are more than 46,719 assault weapons legally registered in Maryland, a statistic the I-Team asked for in light of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
The 46,719 assault weapons represent about 6 percent of the more than 771,000 registered firearms in Maryland.
Many are arguing that the assault weapons are so lethal and capable of killing and harming so many at one time that there is no good reason for them to be legally available at all, while others disagree.

The very reason that the so called "assault weapons" are very lethal is the reason that the people have a right to own then.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sick, sadistic human being 6:19.
ReplyDeleteBought an M-15 the day after the election. Glad I did, just in the very nick of time. I served in the military for over 20 years and it is my right to have any gun I wish. I have served to help preserve that and all the other rights we have as Americans. I will have no hesitation to protect myself, my wife and our home. My guns are ready to preserve my right......to life.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Either a typo or your full of crap. No firearms manufacturer ever made a M-15.
DeleteNot nearly enough! We need more. I've seen statistics that there's only 88 guns per hundred folks out there. Seein's I own six, I mean three, that means only a third or less of us are properly armed. Please, folks, just buy them, and 3000 rounds per gun minimum, just for when you will need them.
ReplyDeleteAll the registerd weapons will be taken from you here in the communist state of Maryland.
ReplyDeleteNOT IF THEY CAN'T FIND THEM.
ReplyDelete7:35 They may try, but 771,000 registered gun owners may have something else in mind. Not to even mention all the rogue gun owners that will most certainly express their wishes as well.
ReplyDeleteThe state is outgunned by an overwhelming number and they know it.
Hence the negative psychological propaganda spread all over the Government media complex.
And of the 46,719 registered assault weapons in Maryland, Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people the they have...

ReplyDeleteThay mnay take yours, but they won't take mine without a fight!
Lets get this straight. There are 45K+ evil assault weapons(that are meant only to kill and have no sporting purpose)here in MD? Either someone is using them incorrectly (peaceably and for legal purposes) or I smell B.S.
ReplyDelete9:44 Obama is the reason for spike in sales of assault weapons ,his socialistic and arrogant polices have frighten many Americans into buying weapons,the increases of weapons are a fact Obama is the Gun Salesman of the Year for four years in a row it will soon be five.
ReplyDelete7:16 PM Remington Arms makes a M-15 rifle. It is the exact same thing as a AR-15 but with Remington's name and model. They have several from .223/5.56 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, .300 Blackout and .308. This model rifle has been made for a while now.
ReplyDeletesee, another idiot who just hears what they hear on the news, and didnt do the research on the weapons out there. .
ReplyDeletei would say that the weapons are ILLEGALLY registered, as the constitution says that ownership "shall not be infringed." and registration may be an infringement to some wanting to own one.
ReplyDeleteif the government tries to confiscate, they will be pwned!
