I've mentioned that I know Martin O'Malley and my connections to him.
If you think I'm anti-gun: Martin makes me look like one of you lot!
Anyway, he has just signed into effect some of the strictest gun laws in the nation,
which comes as no surprise to me. I'm not sure where Maryland fell in
the gun law pile, but I thought they were somewhat strict.
Now, Gun magazines will be limited to 10 bullets, gun ownership by people who
have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility will be
banned, and Maryland State Police will be able to suspend the licenses
of gun dealers who fail to comply with recordkeeping obligations.
This says several things to me with the main one being that there is the political will to get stronger gun laws in place.
Martin
is a politician (I'm too smart to be one). He wouldn't do something if
it were going to cost him political points. And I think he wants to
emulate the Kennedys and take a stab at the presidency.
Well, with some politicians seeing the blowback from failing to vote for background checks--he may have a point.
The
real question is where will gun politics go in the US? Especially now
that there may be an end to the Public Health research ban.
