Assault weapon ban expanded
Background checks, including fingerprints of buyers
Magazine limit set at 10 potential deaths . . . . er . . . bullets
Mental Health exclusions expanded.

1. Hooray for our home state!

Thanks for posting this, Stinky.



The only problem is that the gun nuts can now try to petition for a referendum on the law. That referendum would be held in 2014 if they got enough signatures. I very much doubt they could win a referendum on this law in Maryland.

2. Bravo to states for doing what our shitty Congress can't

There have to be some adults that take gun violence seriously.

[Ilsa]

3. Congratulations! Maryland sounds

like a great place to live!

4. Also fuck the us congress for essentially ignoring it, and delaying. Why can't we see an up or down

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. And the NRA rolls on,

in reverse.

[Kingofalldems]

6. We defy the NRA!

[Frustratedlady]

7. How many states have done the same so far?

Three? Four? I hope the majority falls in line and does the same, if not stricter, to show Congress who has the guts to get a handle on this violence. WTG, Maryland!!!!!

8. Are the bans retroactive? nt

13. Remember Maryland is a southern state

and has marriage equality, progressive taxation, decent massacre control, and is booming. If Hillary doesn't run, maybe even if she does, O"Malley for President.
