Annapolis Values Blood Money Over Freedom

[Wizard777]

Senate panel approves death penalty repeal, altered gun bill

The committee also carved out an exemption to allow the manufacture of assault weapons to be sold outside Maryland — a nod to Beretta USA, headquartered in Prince George's County.

Soooooo, The only purpose these assault weapons have is to kill lots of people quickly. We are absolutely, totally and complettely opposed to them.......as long as it doesn't take any money out of our pockets. We really like money. We like money so much don't we care if it has some blood on it. The Maryland Legislature is not afraid to take a firm moral stance against something. As long as they get to keep the tax revenues generated by the manufacture and sales of that thing they are morally outraged by and therefore firmly against.

Will the Maryland Legislature be delivering this good news to the people of Connecticut and other states that have suffered rampage shootings with these weapons? Great news! We're going to continue to allow assault weapons to be manufactured here in Maryland to be sold in YOUR state to guys like Adam Lanza to kill YOUR children with. We won't allow them be sold in Maryland. They're too dangerous. Those damned things are just baby killing guns. But we don't mind if the tax revenue we receive from the manufacturer has YOUR childrens blood on it. It spends just the same as money without blood on it and that's what's really important here. That we get money to spend.

It is obviously past time for Marylanders to amend the Maryland
Constitution to allow for Ballot Initiatives. That way we can propose and vote on our own laws. Like a law that would give Marylanders the right buy anything manufactured in the state of Maryland. Anything that the legislature prohibts Marylanders from buying cannot be manufactured in the state.

How long do you think Beretta will stay? It wouldn't surprise me if they moved as a protest against the sales ban.

Maryland being Maryland. Remember when gambling and table games were bad until they weren't?

Sure you are an O'Malley supporter. He wants to make it harder to use the referendum process. Maryland is better served by representatives than 'plebiscites' like you according to Jack O'Malley.

This is more like remember when there were only two fireworks manufacturers in the entire country and one was located here in Maryland. Where it was illegal to buy, sell or possess fireworks.

In the balance of the pro's and con's I am an O'Malley supporter. But I give no one blind allegiance. I'm a Moderate. During the Bush years the Liberals were great. They questioned authority and spoke truth to power. Then the second their guy got into office they quit doing that.

That whole legislation is nothing but a money grab. These idiots in office don't give a rat's *** about children , safety or anything but money.That handgun license is bullsheet also. O'Malley is the bigeest piece of sheet that has ever held office. Foock that *** hole.

Where are the LWNJs ready to tell us how good this is?

I'm thinking this exemption is the lose string that shows Annapolis doesn't believe their own BS. This is just something they are doing to fit in with the cool kids in DC without fully understanding why. They say they want to rid our society of these dangerous assault weapons. But they don't want to lose the jobs and tax revenue associated with manufacturing these dangerous assault weapons right here in their backyard. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If Annapolis is not fully commited to this cause. If they cannot stand up to Beretta and tell them you will not manufacture these dangerous weapons here in Maryland. Then they shouldn't even be considering laws that could even possibly infringe the Second Amendment rights of Marylanders. It's a right to "keep and bear arms." It says nothing about manufacturing them. You cannot infringe the prima facie and uphold something that can only exist in constructionism. If Marylanders do not have the right to keep and bear those arms. Then Beretta's right to manufacture those arms here in Maryland cannot possibly exist. Because the Maryland Legislature will have demolished the foundation that Beretta's right to manufacture would be constructed upon.

Beretta is looking to leave if O'Malley's gun bill passes.

Kudos to Beretta!

It's good to see that the Executives at Beretta have something the Legislature doesn't. It's called integrity. The Maryland Legislature wants to take a firm stance against these baby killing assault weapons.......as long as it doesn't cost them anything to do that. Then you have the Executives at Beretta that are willing to make a principled stand upon the Second Amendment even if it costs them a bundle moving to another state. The absolute refusal of the Beretta Executives to allow something as crass as money to part them from their moral and ethical beliefs is Integrity.

While my early retirement plans have been delayed due to the uncertainty of our economy, my plans were to leave this state for greener (money) pastures. If these bills pass, I am going to have to rethink my early exodus plans to a more gun friendly, less taxing state with warmer weather. This state is ever increasingly going down into the pits at a rapid rate.

You, me, many of my family and friends and others will be too. It's hard to just up and leave when you work here. I refuse to stay here after I retire.
This really makes me sad since my ancestors setttled here a long, long time ago. I also think it's a beautiful state-and like how it is centered geographically.

Just cannot take the Marxist mentality any longer. I have heard many say that the latest gun grab is the last straw.

You just said it all. There is no more to say. He is lower than a cockroach. His comrads slither in the gutter as well.

This state is one of the most corrupt states in the union. It really is a shame.

LOL and which side doesn't act that way? Much is our fault as most people are gutless to do or say anything that may hurt "their side".

When you learn to trust and give your allegiance to the best of what is true and right. You won't have that problem with my side bias.
