Gun control becomes an issue in Md. Senate race

Federal gun control has emerged as an issue in Maryland's Senate contest, with the two Democratic candidates pushing a series of proposals after last month's massacre at a South Carolina church.

Rep. Donna F. Edwards called for a sweeping overhaul of federal gun laws in an opinion piece in The Baltimore Sun. The Prince George's County lawmaker says she supports a ban on assault weapons and a prohibition on domestic abusers purchasing firearms.

The latest addition to Edwards' platform comes after her opponent, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, introduced a bill to toughen handgun licensing requirements and make it harder for people to buy firearms from private dealers and at gun shows.

  2. Sorry, but I don't put stock in any statement from ANY PG County elected official. The housecleaning there is far from completed.

  3. These people just don't get it. That punk in S. Carolina didn't use an "assault weapon", He didn't have a "high capacity" mag, he didn't buy his gun at a gun show, and he didn't buy it from a private dealer. There were signs that he was unstable, which everybody ignored.
    Why don't they look into the illegal in San Fran that killed that lady
    with a handgun that belonged to a federal agent, that he "found".
    Its not about gun control, its about people control.
    Armed people are citizens, unarmed people are subjects. Just what king obammy wants.

  6. The problem with these proposals is that there will actually be people who will listen. But, ignorance is abundant among those who do.

  7. It is impossible to prevent mentally unstable people from buying guns as long as HIPPA laws are in place.

  10. LOL these democrats are the epitome of ignorant. Not one of these proposed measures would have prevent Charleston.
    You want to stop gun violence-here's how-let the cops profile and stop and frisk. That's is the ONLY way to stop the gun violence since almost all gun violence is black on black.
    But the blacks cry racism and harassment too darn stupid to figure out the only way to get the guns off the streets is to stop and frisk.

  12. The Gay marriage was passed using the due process clause and if the SCOTUS is consistent in their rulings this would allow open carry and concealed carry in all 50 states if licensed in one.

  13. Prince's Georges county is mostly black which means any candidate must tow the democrates policy line. I bet most homes have at least 1 gun and they ain't given it up.

  14. "The Prince George's County lawmaker says she supports a ban on assault weapons and a prohibition on domestic abusers purchasing firearms."

    And does any of this pertain to the "massacre" in South Carolina?? NO!! Only idiots fall for this crap. A criminal is going to find a gun or some weapon to kill people. It's not an assault weapon or a Confederate Flag that killed these people so quit falling for this crap.

    Who is running for the Republicans or another party besides these Liberal nut cases? Liberal MD needs to go back to Capitol Punishment with short time frames for Death Penalty and tighter Prison control with less privileges that will make it uncomfortable conditions and they will not want to go to Prison..
