The Maryland General Assembly has approved a ban on “bump stocks,” devices that allow rapid firing of semi-automatic rifles, making them almost as fast as fully automatic weapons. Republican Gov. Larry Hogan has said he will sign it.
The device was used in the mass shooting at an outdoor country music concert in Las Vegas last year that killed 58 and wounded more than 800. Since then, many states have considered banning bump stocks. Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, Florida and now Maryland have passed laws banning sales of the devices. Legislation has failed in other states, however, including Tennessee where it was rejected this week.
Prior to the Las Vegas shooting, bump stock bans had a hard time getting through state legislatures.

This goes to show how ignorant people are they don't even know why the "bump stock" was produced. The "bump stock" was produced so handicapped could enjoy hunting and not have the added pressure from the weapons recoil would not create problems to their weaken body. Now Politians are taking away pleasures / enjoyment from citizens. This is because the Politians and the justice system will not push prosecution of non-law abiding citizens to the limits. Just another step to socialism / Nazism. History repeating itself yet again.
1:09 absolute garbage. Just a cover for the real reason "we want an automatic weapon but they're illegal".
A parkland teacher who was armed just left his gun unattended and a drunk homless man was able to get it and shoot it. Arm the teachers right shorebilly?
I like the new battery powered trigger crank. It is a triangle device that runs on a small motor that when powered up it spins supper fast pulling the trigger 3 times every 2 seconds!
Delaware is looking to ban certain magazines. Take a little here, Take a little there, then one day you realize all your rights are gone.
Dave T: Old Larry just couldn't wait to sign off on this so he could make himself feel good again with some more PC politics. If he had a real back bone he wouldn't subscribe to such nonsense. However, Mr. Hogan's problems run deep when it comes to understanding the constitution and protecting people's rights. He could care less. Another worthless politican among the many. Thanks for nothing Larry. I never did believe anyone could or should have faith in you to do much of anything right. But I can see your liberal friends are happy.
Maryland is a communist state.
In all respects.
You are full of BS.
Md is doomed another knee jerk reaction to nothing. These idiots do not represent me or most lawabiding citizens in anyway. Im will be voting with my feet
Better ban belt loops too..... confused.... YouTube it...thumb in belt loop,finger on trigger,move firearm forward and hold on...
Because the Vegas shooter had no belt loops on his pants to produce the same result. It would have prevented him from bringing a hundred guns into a hotel room and set up for a kill.
"I can't have bump stocks? Well, forget it, then!"
Right.
He was an arms dealer.
Such a joke.
My pick axe can still kill you!

Oh, horse-hockey. bump stocks don't reduce recoil, they use recoil to move the trigger finger away from the trigger while the weapon cycles and then the finger makes contact with the trigger again, firing off another round.
Socialism/Nazism huh? Lol. Geesh. Speaking of horses, I think you got your comment from a certain part of a horse. I'll let you figure out which end of the horse. It shouldn't take too many years

Wow, so clever. I bet one would have an excellent sight picture on the target. Spray and pray, just like these comments.

F*** YOU Douche Bag! If you don't like the Eastern Shore you can carry your A$$ back to your Libtard Country. As a matter of fact, if you leave your name I can escort you back to that Shit Hole you came from.
As a matter of fact the Great Libtard, do you know how to spell "homeless??"

I told you RINO Hogan was a coward! I told you RINO Hogan wasn't a conservative. I saw that when he was quick to take the License Plates away from the members of the Heritage group the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He jumped the gun with a knee jerk reaction after the nosey media stalked the SC church killers FB page and saw him holding a small confederate battle flag and the RINO illegal Alien from India posing as South Carolina's Governor went batshit crazy and demanded all Battle flags be removed from state property. RINO Larry is a Douche Bag Commie Closet Democrat. Fat slob with 6 necks! I won't be voting for him.
Let's not forget about Carl Anderton, Jr. Merry B!tch CorBozo and Christine Adams. Adams and CorBozo won't be getting re-elected, thank God.
There were other RINO's from the E.S. Delegation from the upper shore that voted for this as well. Thank God for Charles Otto for voting NO right off the bat. When Johnny Mautz saw that he screwed up he was quick to make an apology.
