The Latest Scheme To Turn Gun Owners Into Criminals

Gun-owners, they are coming: on March 21, a Fredericksburg man was prosecuted and convicted of the misdemeanor crime of merely holding a B.B. gun in public. I know because I was in the trial, as the attorney defending Mr. Wolff.

The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. However, gun control activists are trying to criminalize gun ownership. Their next step is that you are a criminal if you take a gun out in public. If they have to let you own a gun, you can't ever take it out of its case.

Liberals continue to try to criminalize private ownership of guns, despite losing a key battle in District of Columbia v. Heller, 128 S.Ct. 2783, 2820–2821, 171 L.Ed.2d 637, (2008). Unlike conservatives, left-wingers never quit. They intend to win the war eventually and disarm the American people.

Now they claim that it is illegal to "open carry" a firearm. The mere existence of a gun if anyone else is around now has become the crime of "brandishing" and/or "assault" (which means frightening people, contrary to popular misunderstanding) or both.

Then stop finding people guilty of gun crime (concerning possession) when you are on a jury. It's one thing to claim liberals are all the cause but all the juries are not liberal. If you find a person guilty and you support gun rights then you are the problem.

Hogan loves these actions since he has done nothing to improve the right to carry in MD as he promised.

5:06 sounds like an indoctrinated liberal college educated nut case. Before they make these stupid comments they should worry about the crime rate on SU campus where it is always covered up. Also they need to eliminate the criminal activity on SU campus and SU Housing areas. Then as for as the Police protecting you, they better look at the SU Campus Police which does nothing to prevent and investigate crimes on SU Campus. How many crimes have been solved or prosecuted that has occurred on SU Campus?

5:06 Did you ever consider a law abiding person carrying a weapon could possibly prevent 1 Police Officer from being murdered by your gangs and liberal Police haters?

If we had decent carry laws, you would only need half as many cops and judges. Maybe 50 more coroners. State budget is now drastically reduced. It's a win win.
