The NRA: Drowning Out Marylanders

The majority of Marylanders, including many responsible gun owners, support common sense legislation to prevent gun violence. But the PR wing of the NRA, lobbyists for gun manufacturers, and others who want to block any and all gun safety ideas would have you to believe otherwise. For weeks, they’ve been spreading falsehoods and using scare tactics to mislead Marylanders.

They may be shouting louder, but Marylanders know better. Here are a few of the voices that have been drowned out by the NRA propaganda machine.

Governor O'Dumbass has been misleading Marylanders for 5 years.

Just another press release from O'Malley so he can feel happy about throwing another tax on us. Here comes a 100$ tax to obtain a gun permit. Conway, Cane and Mathias will all vote for this because they are Democrats and do not care what you think.

i think the only propaganda is coming out of the governors office. to have a bunch of supporters on his website proclaiming, "I'm a responsible gun owner and I support common sense gun regulation..." is a bunch of crap because there is no common sense in the plan.

No, Martin. I do not support your "commom sense" gun legislation. Majority or not, your restrictions will not keep anyone safer except bad guys.

Did he announce this before or after he announce the City of Baltimore would be bankrupt beyond recovery in 10 years even if the economy recovers in the mean time. What a joke I'd like to see the names and addresses of those that support what he calls "common sense legislation" regarding what he labels as assault weapons. If he gets his way who is going to foot the bill for the massive undertaking just to register every magazine that has a capacity of 11 rounds, or 7 rounds, if he follows New York? For example if he has his way and this goes retroactive back to 2005, I have 21 magazines that under his law would be classified as "High Capacity" myself and none of them have any type of numbers that would work as a number to identify them, We won't even talk about doing this for guns retroactively. Can you imagine the manpower to follow up on sales of these items over the last 8 years in Maryland? It is $$$$ impossible financially! The govenor lives in some type of financial utopia where evidently money grows on trees!

I guess if all this nonsense passes we will have a lot of honest hard working members of society moving over to the criminal side of the books b/c most of the ones I talk with say they will never register or pay fees to keep what they have legally already. Time will tell....

Suport the NRA . It's time to stop o'mally from rapeing the second amendment so he can create a new tax.

I am a Marylander and I don't "know better". I agree with the NRA. This is just more smoke and mirrors written by a BS artist. If you repeat a lie often enough SOMEBODY is going to believe it.

I love how commenting is "closed". For every 1 of those messages, I'm sure he has 1,000+ that are the opposite. More false information. Half the people didn't even know what they were writing! Christina (Christy)... automatic military style weapons? Really?

I've told you all before; There is a blight spreading in this Country and the PEOPLE better WAKE UP. The ruling junta (OWE'BAMA & OWE'Malley, Harry Reid,Nancy Pelosi) are trying their best to bring this USA under the auspice of the "NEW WORLD ORDER". Case in point; The U.N. World-wide Gun Ban.
Subversive sects such as any given number of Libretarian Orgs. are behind the scenes wreckers of the American Life & Liberty model that persons HAVE enjoyed up till now. United Nations would completely DRAIN the treasury and give it to Kenya, Zimbabway, and other third world countries that make NO preperations, only suck the life out of their inhabitants.
The USA is headed that direction and the Dumbasses who vote for them think they are first to try to re-create the ignorant whose major purpose is to fornicate and beg for alms from the concientous.
I was asked via telephone to donate to charities who keep the bucket full for these idlers. I said NOT A DAMN DIME when there are children in Appalacia hungry EVERY night and very little to NO creature comforts most take for granted. Thanks to pity queens like Madonna, Pam Dauber, and others the hep thing is to adopt the blacks and let our kids starve. I'm in hopes I live long enough to see ALL of them in the lowest reaches of HELL.

Whenever you see "common sense legislation" it really means infringement of your inalienable rights.

Did anyone notice the "comments sections closed" at the bottom?

I'm sick and tired of hearing "common sense gun laws". Common sense would be to leave my law abiding family and legal guns the hell alone!
