This seems like an extension of probation. I wonder how you get off the list, and how likely the list would expand to anyone who was in violation of the numerous and growing list of non-violent "gun crimes", such as owning a BB gun that is not registered, when you are a resident of New Jersey.

While we are at it, let’s have a government offender registry.
I’m sure that would fill up a few terabytes of disk space.

And, of course, because of the need to reduce the size of the overall data group, somewhere in the bill would require that ALL guns in Maryland be registered, purely as an economical data reduction effort....nope, no plan to register all guns here, folks. No plans whatever.

Great idea. Government offenders are more dangerous to our country than gun owners. These people seem to want to make more and more laws. Don’t we have enough laws on the books? Just enforce the ones we have.

I think we need registries on:
1) People that beat up other people they outweigh by 75 lbs or more.
2) People that beat up other people in groups of 3 or more
3) Home invaders
4) Persons convicted of more than 3 serious crimes in a 3 year time period

People caught pissing in an alley (indecent exposure) can be charged with a sex crime, making the sex registry somewhat meaningless. This effort too will probably be no different between violent criminals and folks who violated any obscure gun control law.

Starting a gun registry that will put gun offenders on the same level as pedophiles is probably going overboard, and will undoubtedly cause quite a bit of public outcry. Not to mention starting a run on claw hammers and baseball bats.

While we are at it, lets have a government offender registry. How about a knife, bow and arrow, and (shudder), an SUV registry.
Seriously, these people are so stupid you wonder how they even survive or reproduce.

Can anyone please explain exactly, what is a “gun offender”?
I have never ever “offended” any guns in my entire life time. I treat each one with a high degree of respect, care for them regularly, feed them as needed and keep them ready for use when called upon. Guess that should keep me off their list.

Under this plan, gun offenders would be required to personally report to the police every six months and provide an update of any crimes committed, aliases, current residence, and recent employment.
So basically you'll be on supervised probation for the rest of your life.

I suppose it's even worse than probation. Probation is given as an alternative to doing your time in jail or prison. There is an endpoint to it. I don't get the sense that the author of this proposal wants people to ever be removed from the list.

Well, this is it today.
But once it's passed, I'd imagine that it's much easier to amend it in dark corners when nobody's watching.
Govt never changes.

Luckily for far left radicals, it does not take any intelligence to reproduce, even single cell bacteria accomplish that.

Citizens with no criminal record should be able, at will, to carry, concealed or open, any firearm they please, hand gun or long gun, anywhere they please without let or hindrance by government authorities.
Self defence is an innate right of existence, even a new born baby will try to defend itself.
