In addition the following is also happening in Maryland:
License required to purchase a firearm
Delegate Sandy Rosenberg,(D), District 41, Baltimore City has introduced HB820: Firearms safety Act of 2010. The text isn’t officially attached to the bill as of yet but here’s what we think will be included in the bill.
•Notation on your drivers license denoting you as legally able to buy a gun.
•Mandatory fingerprinting to be licensed to purchase a firearm.
•Increased fees for the processing of gun applications.
There are potentially some other noxious things included in the bill that refer to dealers surrendering their records of sales to the Maryland State Police, thus providing them a registration list of even non-regulated firearms.
We expected this to land in the Senate first and believe we will see it there by Tuesday morning. Make no mistake, this bill would fundamentally change the nature of gun ownership in Maryland unlike anything we’ve seen in over a decade. It is our responsibility to shut this affront to our liberties before it ever sees the light of day in a hearing.

Call the members of the House Judiciary Committee below and tell them, “NO!” on HB820.
When they unveiled HB1446, the ammunition log bill last year, we shut it down in 24 hours and it was never even scheduled for a hearing. If everyone does their part today, we could see similar results.
