Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley To Sign Gun Bill As Shooting Deaths Decline

Gov. Martin O'Malley is set to sign into law some of the toughest gun restrictions in the nation on Thursday at a time when gun deaths in Maryland are at their lowest point since the FBI started collecting data in 1995.

In Maryland, 272 people were killed with a gun in 2011, the most recent year the FBI data is available, down 34 percent from 414 firearms homicides in 2007.

The new law would outlaw the sale of 45 assault rifles, require licensing and fingerprinting for new handgun purchases, restrict ammunition magazines to 10 rounds and outlaw gun ownership by the mentally ill. It would become effective Oct. 1.

4:37 I agree with you but I'm afraid we are fighting a loosing battle. There are too many pansy-ass Democrats out there on welfare that we are at a point of no return.

What everyone fails to realize, is that u can pass as many as these dumb a** laws as you want and it is not going to stop a criminal from getting their hands on a gun. This state is getting worse by the minute..

With the stoke of a pen, I just became a felon. So did 20 or more of my friends. But am I worried? Not in the least. I have those guns, ammo, and magazines to protect myself from thugs and wanna-be dictators. Just like him. Whose gonna be the hero and come and get them? Update your life insurance and kiss your family goodbye before you come. You may not be returning....and I ain't joking. As far as "signing petitions", that was tried 250 years ago, too. Over and over. And sent to the same type of wanna-be rulers. They tore them up, laughed at our supidity, and sent armies to crush us. What's that saying about history repeating itself?

Yes indeed. Did any of you see the comments on facebook about this law signing? Some of the dumb comments by people are staggering. No wonder Md. is so screwed up.
