Gun-rights group persuading dozens of towns to repeal firearms regs in legal blitz

WASHINGTON – A Washington state-based gun rights group is steadily persuading cities and towns across the country to repeal local firearms regulations and give that power back to the states.

The organization, the Second Amendment Foundation, is working to invalidate city ordinances by arguing that they're in conflict with looser state regulations. So far, it seems to be working. The group says it's been able to overturn more than 100 gun-related ordinances this way, most recently in Utah.

“We’re going state by state, going through every single ordinance of every city and county in every state and finding where the cities and counties have ordinances enacted that are in conflict with state law,” Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the SAF, told FoxNews.com.

Salisbury should go along with the wave in issuing Carry Concealed Weapons permits, and give law abiding citizen the right to carry. Then watch crime go down in Salisbury!

Send some of the legal money to assist conservative legislators in Maryland to put amendments on Maryland's illegal and unconstitutional laws.

Good luck finding one.

ALL gun laws should be repealed. The only people these ASININE laws affect are the legal owners. Why can't they understand that?
