Maryland’s attorney general is urging lawmakers to update the state’s assault weapons ban to outlaw the type of gun used in the recent mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
“It’s a loophole in our law,” said Attorney General Brian Frosh, who as a Democratic state senator pushed for the passage of the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, which outlawed most assault weapons in Maryland.
“It’s outrageous,” Frosh said. “That kind of weapon should not be on the streets, period.”
The man who opened fire Aug. 4 in an entertainment district in Dayton, killing nine and injuring more than two dozen others, used an Anderson Manufacturing .223-caliber AM-15 gun, according to police in that city. It’s been described as an AR-15-style pistol.

That's because politicians think they are smarter than all the rest of the citizens. They can't comprehend that the average American can think up ways to get around any stupid rule or regulation that government implements.
so he would create 1000s of criminals with one swoop of the pen..i dont see these guns jumping up and shooting all by themselves..another reason to vote with ypur feet in MD libtarded knee jerk reactions solve nothing
The Socialist State of Maryland hard at work stomping on our Constitutional rights.
Northwest Woodsman: Marxist democrat definition of an Assault Rifle : Any black, scary looking firearm that causes frequent urination in ones garments when presented into view even under legal circumstances.
I would have easily removed the weapon from him and applied several palm strikes to the perpetrators face, breaking his nose then a strike to his leg damaging his knee for life.
Nothing not a .223 hunting rifle with black stocks and fancy rails. Clips are already limited by capacity
When are you dumb asses going to learn???? That is exactly the point here, to make you all criminals and what do you think taxes are for these days??? To make you poor and reliant on the govt and so they can throw you in jail if you don't pay or get behind... Key word is JAIL, aka the private jails that are in America Demand from the justice warriors to be jailed 90% to capacity at all times so they can what??? MAKE MONEY from the govt in the form of subsidies...
All you people have to do is stand up and not comply... Just like the residence of Connecticut on the magazine ban and gun ban a few years ago... They are all criminals now, but not a damn sole dares to go after them... But the difference is it appears that Connecticut state police are not a stupid as Maryland state police, they don't want to get shot at for a politicians ill moral illegal laws, but MSP would rather get shot and die enforcing bogus illegal laws so...
There needs to be a law, an executive Order, that will bring severe criminal punishment to any lawmaker, politician or government employee that threatens or attempts to violate ANY Constitutional Rights of Americans....oh wait...there already is such a law...its called TREASON
had a chance to vote this clown out last year but you all thinks hes doing a great job so u voted him back in can only blame yourselves
Hogan and Miller better put this idiot in check. AG Frosh would rather make criminals out of law abiding citizens and let his Thugs / Gangs rule. He refuses to prosecute criminals and take them off the street and make MD safer. AG and Cummings will push this BS until hell freezes over and the civil war will began. This will prove where Hogan stands on the 2nd Amendment. Will Hogan finally walk the walk instead of just talk the talk and side with the Democrats?
damn you r one bad azz watch what you bring to a real gun fight might meet your match cause in reality you arent faster than a bullet
"...Clips are already limited by capacity"
Neither the AM-15 nor the AR-15 use clips, they use magazines. The old .30 M-1 used stripper clips. There is a big difference.
I wish all the so-called experts would learn the difference.
1245 I never heard of a palm strike so I looked it up. Your correct it looks like it works but I don’t no how to do it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people you stupid dip shit.
They can ban all they want and criminals will still get these guns. If anything they will blow up a school, mall, state or federal building with ammonium nitrate and fertilizer, it's not banned.
12:45
After you sign and notarize the liability release document, I would really like to see you disarm me in any way without you getting a big hole blown in you.
1245 are you special operations or swat?
Oh my God Dwight Schrute is that you?!
Yes, try to disarm me too 12:45, you'll never get close enough to do your palm plant or whatever other plant you're smoking. You are so weak minded, your instructor has brainwashed you into thinking you're a bad ass, when really you know just enough to get into trouble. Have a great day son.
Everything can be an assault weapon, I was beat with a belt, today that is assault! Some people were beaten by wooden spoons, today that is an assault weapon!
