Maryland they are pushing for a LONG GUN QUALIFICATION LICENSE!

[livingston]

If you are a gun owner who resides or could reside in Maryland, your rights are under attack like never before. The Maryland General Assembly has put forth a series of egregious bills this session and we ask you to HELP US fight them! Not only do we need self-defenders, but also hunters, competitors, tinkerers, and recreational shooters, as the legislature has declared all of us public enemy number one!

Not content with making the lives of handgun owners miserable, now they are after the hunters and long guns. Bill SB737 was just introduced and that bill requires anyone desiring to purchase or "receive" a long gun obtain a LONG GUN QUALIFICATION LICENSE! Highly similar to the Handgun Qualification License, this license will require 4 hours of training and fingerprinting and ban any person from receiving a long gun without having first applied to the State Police for this LGQL. Even after getting an LGQL, a purchaser would also have to wait 7 days before picking up their long gun, and the bill would limit them to a single long gun purchase per month! Additionally, anyone who moves into the state will be required to register their long guns within 90 days of establishing residency! And there are loads of severe criminal penalties for those who fail to comply for any reason.

Funny, voter qualification doesn't even require a 10 minute course in American history.

I hope this passes. And I hope they RAISE to the standards to be similar to those of police officers.

Then I hope they use it to poke a hole the size of a truck in the argument that police officers are 'more highly trained' and therefore are more capable of handling the firearms in question.

so everyone with a firearm will NOT be moving to Maryland, they will ALL be moving to Virginia or Pennsylvania and commuting to their jobs

I'm sure that the violent criminals in Baltimore will get right on that qualification and registration thing...

I mean, after all, this is for the cheeeelrin,,, right? --- public safety,,, right?

And what do they propose to do about all the people that already have long guns?

Honor system?

MD is already worse than NY in a lot of ways. No “evil gun” replicas, not even bastardized ARs, no “light barrels,” pre-ban rifles are registered and state police going door to door doing checks on out-of-state purchases. This is just the next step to becoming worse than California.

But NY is not going to be outdone.

If they make people get permits for long guns like CA did there will no longer be any reason for long gun owners not to get pistols too. Unintended consequences anyone?

Pennsylvania is looking better all the time.

It's really sad; true America will eventually only be found in the heartland of middle America. All the coastal states are going to complete shit and will eventually all become bastions of the misinformed and uneducated gun grabbing, pedo-loving liberal socialist scum.

I would flee New York as soon as possible. The state it is currently in is complete socialist shit.
