State, local and jurisdictional-level actions related to gun-control (Post-Newtown)
There are multiple threads that have already started related to reactions to the recent shootings. National-level politics tends to take the lead, but what is occurring locally can sometimes be overshadowed.
The idea of starting this thread is to provide discussion on what is occurring within our individual States and localities. Information that would be of good use to responsible gun-owners and those who are engaged with the established processes (executive, legislative, judicial or law-enforcement)
Currently residing in an occupied bastion of liberalism... I watch closely.

Research conducted by a state-appointed task force on the relationship between mental illness and regulated firearms reveals that those on the task force believe additional research is needed.
It also reveals that those conducting the study, a team made up of lawmakers, mental health experts and law enforcement officials, believe keeping guns out of the hands of all considered "mentally ill" may be too broad.

Ahh a fellow Marylander. My father, a NRA instructor, called up to ask about a concealed carry permit and the lady actually laughed at him. Wonderful state.
On topic, I'm not worried about this gun ban bill passing. With a Republican controlled house it just won't happen and not even Obama would dare sign an executive order for that, as much as he does love those handy maneuvers. America will remain a bastion of freedom for the next decade or so at least.

Yeah, I thought that about the Republican House up till they sold out on the fiscal cliff bill.
I don't think so anymore. Anything is possible with these traitors.
Obama will sign anything he wants to now.
Talk about an imperial presidency.

And where pray tell would they put all the new felons that said, 'I will not comply'.
Looks like I may need to sell the property and head West.

While you're probably correct I choose to disagree based on necessity. My sanity and temperament would not hold up well if I believed that.
The only thing Boehner has done in the past couple years I agreed with was telling Harry Reid to go fuck himself, twice. Please no mo' executive orders Massa Obama.

With plenty of accomplices in both houses.
One of many little daggers that were waiting upon swearing in; there are more, their text just isn't back from the Gov Printing Office yet.
Quote:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `NRA Members' Gun Safety Act of 2013'.
TITLE I--REQUIRING A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR EVERY FIREARM SALE
SEC. 101. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this title is to extend the Brady Law background check procedures to all sales and transfers of firearms.

Note the way it's worded to brand the NRA as endorsing it.
The 'soft' fight is moot and would take a generation or better. The other kind is about to be 'on'.

I think Obama WILL sign it, whether it is a law or an executive order. If the majority of Americans were stupid enough to put him in for another 4 years, then he is definitely dumb enough to sign it. After all, he has nothing to lose, and one thing I have learned is to never ever underestimate someone who has nothing to lose.

There were also a couple of arrests recently at a gun show for vendors selling "high capacity" magazines (more than 20 rounds) which violates MD law.

PRM is a bastion of liberalism turning the corner into progressivism.
See this is what is proposed by Gov Martin O'Malley
http://marylandshallissue.org/share/SB0281_pamphlet.pdf
More and more every day is see control of social, economic and political life being exercised by those who are executives in government. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Insanity from FL
http://www.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.ht...56.proteus.fma
This has to be one of the more ridiculous things I've read so far... and here I thought I was safe from dumb gun control laws when I moved down South. I'd expect this from my home state of Massachusetts, but FL?

Obama took Florida in 2008 AND 2012. You should try farther West. Don't go too far though.

From the article:
"A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.
The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger management courses every 10 years."
I'll take a fricken anger management class to buy ammo when she takes a mandatory IQ test and mandatory common sense classes to be a legislator.

Let's just say that Audrey has an abusive boyfriend.
He beats her ass for the umpty-third time, sending her to the hospital, and she gets a restraining order.
He calls her cell phone and tells her he is coming over to kill her and her children once and for good this time.
Should she have to take an anger management class?
How many days should she have to wait before she can buy a handgun and ammunition to protect herself?
Unintended consequences, indeed.

TX- he may have won the state, but not my neck of the woods. I'm too Northern to live in Alamaba or Mississippi easily, but I've enjoyed my visits to Texas. ;-) Never been to NM, NV or AZ. CA-couldn't pay me to live there...
TR- I agree completely. Anyone who has ever been-or has known someone who has been- a victim of domestic violence knows how ASSinine her 'reasoning' is. I know I wouldn't be happy to have to submit to anger management classes just so I could protect myself from harm.
I know there are those who would say "this will never pass legislature", but how many times had that been said previously, only to be proven wrong? Honestly-kind of disturbs me it even made it to the Bill submission stage.
