Gun Control Hearing Draws Big Crowd To Annapolis

Hundreds have gathered to express opposition to Gov. Martin O'Malley's gun-control measure outside the Maryland Statehouse as the Senate began a public hearing on the bill that is expected to last for hours.

A large crowd of people filled Lawyer's Mall in Annapolis on Wednesday.

Lou Levy of Parkton was among them. He says he disagrees with changing gun laws instead of focusing on the people who commit crimes.Members of the public and lobbyists filled a Senate committee room and into an overflow room ahead of a hearing on the governor's gun control bill. Access to the Miller Senate Building was cut off to better handle the crowds.

I like the term "handle the crowds". Since when do citizens, asembling to protest(a Constitutional right), need to be "handled"? Restricted? THAT building and ALL THE LAND around it BELONGS TO "we, the people". It is not the politicians land or buildings. The politicians (rightly so) get VERY afraid of a large boisterous crowd....someone might start talking about HANGING their pompous, overbearing, magniloquent asses. THAT'S how a government gets changed. Overnight. They saw those crowds and literally feared for their safety. Which is exactly what they need --- some FEAR of the people. Of which they have none now....
