They are calling it the “Firearm Safety Act of 2010″but the title is nothing more than a cheap political maneuver. Politicians are increasingly willing to twist the truth or outright lie to push their agendas because they believe the people are too ignorant or too stupid to read past the title of a bill. I’m sure other names for the bill were considered, maybe the “Orphan Children with Cancer and Cuddly Fuzzy Puppy Protection act of 2010″? I mean who would vote against Children and Puppies right? I have a better idea, call the bill what it is, call it the ”Invasion of Privacy and Constitutional Violation Act of 2010″. The bill reads like a dictators manifesto durring a time of war. This bill would authorize the Government of Maryland to tap your phone, read your email and secretly record your conversations, all in the name of firearm safety, George Orwell would be proud. The “Firearm Safety Act of 2010″ has nothing to do with firearms safety and everything to do the with politicians separating law abiding citizens from their guns by any means necessary. Much like a drivers license this bill would also require law abiding citizens to apply for a Government issued permit to purchase a firearm. A permit that is not free, needs to be constantly renewed, requires you to take a test, requires fingerprints and comes with strings attached. That’s right you will have to apply and pay for the Governments permission to own a firearm. If enacted the ability to purchase a firearm would become a revocable privilege and not a right. It would also double the amount of paperwork that gun dealers need to file with the Maryland State Police, paperwork that is already required by Federal Law. There are matching bills filled in the House and the Senate. Maybe someone should let the sponsors of the bills Senator Frosh And Delegate Rosenberg know that the right to bear arms is a right guaranteed by the US constitution and it was recently reaffirmed by the supreme court. Their contact info is listed below, send them an Email and let them know how you feel, but don’t worry if this bill passes they will already know, Big Brother will be watching.

The only reason the Montgomery Mad Man aka Brian Frosh is pushing this is to make money for his law firm. The more criminals the more money. It’s a genius idea, turn law abiding citizens into criminals, then they hire lawyers and boom more cash!
We need to unseat both of these Jackholes. I am very wealthy and will do everything in my power to see that both of these idiots lose their seat.
This is insane! You mean to tell me that the MSP will have the right to record all of my conversations at my gun club, gun store, Walmart??? Seriously people, call these Nazi’s and tell them how you feel.
