Way to go Mike! You are the best and agree with everything you say. The crazy liberals of Maryland are running out state into the ground and so glad to hear your stand on this issue!

A big THANK YOU to Sheriff Lewis for standing up for the rights of the good folks that elected you.

Excellent work Mike, and the other Sheriff's as well. The delegate made a good point that no one wants to admit. It's not law abiding citizens with firearms that are committing these crimes. Go after the criminals not the law abiding citizens.

I totally agree with everything said Marylands Criminal system is a revolving door Mike Lewis is perfectly right on point. This bill will accomplish nothing for the honest residents of Maryland.I believe in the right to bears arms.

Amen brother !!! I asked the Governor while he and his family enjoy 24/7 ARMED POLICE PROTECTION from MSP, why does he think I'm suppose to believe he's making me and my familey safer by disarming me and other law abiding citizens? He hasn't even given me the common courtesy of a reply. Maybe he and his are more valuable than me and mine I don't know. The question isn't a hard one, maybe it's the answer that he's struggling with.

Too bad we don't have more Sheriffs and Chiefs in MD and in our Country willing to step up and tell our citizens the truth, as these fine examples did, instead of being the lapdogs to the Politicians.
Thank you to all who testified.

OStupid and the libs are ruining MD. The good people of MD are treated like poops flushed down the toilet while deadbeats get free stuff and take advantage of the good citizens. Now they get flushed again, with NO NEGATIVE IMPACT at all to the criminals. It is time to move to Texas.

Thank you Mike and the other sheriff's who spoke the truth and stand by their word.
I can feel your pain. Each and everyday you and your troops are put in harms way dealing with life and death at every vehicle stop, every call for help and yet you do your jobs and catch the criminals and what do you and the public get for your efforts? The courts, judges, and governor lets the criminals go free! This is just plain wrong and it doesn't take a harvard graduate to figure it out either. When will it be enough? When more people are murdered and not here to pay state taxes maybe then these liberal legisatures will stop and change the law.
I applaud you for your conviction, and the voice to speak up for us. You made me proud!
There are so many gun laws on the books now, they can't be enforced, so more laws will help. Law abiding people keep the law that's why they are called law abiding. Criminals don't keep the law, that's why they are called criminals. Criminals won't keep the law after these bills pass. They will just have it made easier for them to commit more crime. Way to go leaders. When you sleep at night, I hope you sleep soundly!

I don't know if Mike and his deputies think their is more to trying to disarm the American people then all of this nonsence on the hill. I for one don't buy it for a second I think they know times are going to geta hole lot worse and they dont want any reastance from the sheep.

Glad to see you still have your head on straight Sheriff Lewis. I was concerned your political ambitions made cloud common sense. Well said

thank you officers for your service and for telling it like it is, the sad part of everyone showing up and all of us that are not for more laws is that our government is not for the people it is all about them and the anti gun liberals, what we need to do as gun owners is if you live next to someone that is for banning guns put a sign in your yard saying that you own guns but they dont and that you will not help them with your guns if they were to be robbed.

Thank you to Mike Lewis, as a Salisbury resident that travels back and forth through the county frequently it definitely makes myself and my family feel a little more secure knowing we have a 2nd amendment respecting common sense sheriff. All of the testimony from all the sheriffs was excellent. The non-urban citizens of this state need to stand up to the low life MD liberals hell bent on taking away our God given right to self protection.

These men are awesome! Being raised in St Mary's county and a teenagers in the 1970's, I never left the house at night when I was driving the country roads between Mechanicsville and Leonardtown without a 38 in my glove box! I knew how to use it but Never needed it, never brought it out and we never talked about it. Wish we could have these men as our legislative leaders! Yea Mike for President, and Tim for Vp!

Way to go MIKE AND TEAM...we need CRIME CONTROL!!!

Excellent testimony by these gentlemen! The statistics sited, the Govenor's support of disbanding the death penalty, and the liberal release of convicted felons coupled with the failure to enforce current laws dealing with the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime is definitely and eye opener. This type of information desiminated through out Maryland to common sense citizens will surely change the debate, and I am convinced will pressure even the liberals to reconsider their position.

mike lewis needs to run for state delagate, I know him and do not agree with alot of things he does and allows to happen in his office, but he is spot on, on this.

Anonymous said...

I wish he would have taken the stance that he wouldn't enforce any of these laws no matter what...

Like the other police have been stating...

Joe: I sure hope Mike is supporting you for mayor. It would be a great advantage to him if he did. You all would make a fine team.

Democratic state. High crime, high welfare, low pay.

So funny! Most of the time the comments are skewering Mike Lewis. Give him something to say that obviously is about political survival in the back country and suddenly, he smells of roses.

Well better late than never Lewis.

You should have done this or something similar couple of months ago when other sheriffs across this country started showing their support for 2nd amendment and allowing people to defend themselves.

WHICH THEY WILL DO ANYWAY REGARDLESS OF ANY SILLY, STUPID AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE LAWS.

But it's good you have finally got your office behind the people and what the PEOPLE want.

D.C. has no clue what Americans want or how to give it to them.

That's the easiest part. To give the people what they want, DON'T DO ANYTHING!!

We have the 2nd amendment already. We already can protect ourselves. We already have plenty of laws on the books ALREADY.

We don't need or WANT any more laws. They will do NOTHING.

Let the good guys keep their white hats and the criminals their black hats.

We can take care of them and then guess what? One problem is solved.
