Stop Obama's Gun Grab In Maryland

Make no mistake about it, right now Governor Martin O'Malley and Barack Obama are on the war path to take away your right to keep and bear arms in Maryland.

Already, O'Malley's henchmen in the Maryland State Senate have introduced Senate Bill 281, the O'Malley Gun Grab Bill.

It's up to us to kill this bill.

Senate Bill 281 drastically broadens the definition of an assault weapon and constitutes one of the most outrageous assault weapon bans proposed in the country.

This bill classifies 15 different types of semi-automatic pistols as "assault weapons" as well as certain types of shotguns and rifles.

This means that if Senate Bill 281 passes these guns will be illegal to purchase or bring into the State of Maryland.

This 38-page bill also bans high-capacity magazines limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.

If this bill becomes law, it criminalizes all citizens owning newly banned weapons unless they immediately register their guns with the State of Maryland.

Gun owners who don't register their "banned" weapons would face up to 3 years in jail or a $5,000 dollar fine under O'Malley's Gun Grab Bill.

Current law governing carry permits in Maryland makes it almost impossible to carry, yet this bill will make it even harder by requiring a new 16-hour handgun training course.

To purchase or rent a handgun, citizens will now have to pay roughly $400 dollars in fees, background checks, training courses, and finger-printing.

This bill, if passed, will be the death knell for the 2nd Amendment in Maryland.

We can't let that happen. We need to move fast.

The gun grabbers are feverishly working to ram Senate Bill 281 through the Senate before we can mobilize.

Already, this destructive bill was assigned a hearing date.

O'Malley's Gun Grab Bill will be heard by the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee on February 6th, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.

A Committee vote could happen immediately following the hearing.

The politicians on the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee need to hear from us loud and clear that moving O'Malley's Gun Grab Bill out of their Committee will cost them dearly.
