A federal judge on Tuesday declined to halt Maryland’s strict new gun laws while a lawsuit challenging their constitutionality goes forward.

U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake .

...

Along with limiting handgun magazines to 10 rounds, the Maryland law that takes effect today adds 45 guns to a list of banned assault weapons and requires gun buyers to submit their fingerprints and obtain handgun qualification licenses.

Guns will be baned from the public within a few years if the communist Democrats still control America.

How could judge Blake ever see harm caused by a law she surely supports?

Another example of a Federal judge saying, “ To heck with the people, the government signs my paycheck. I work for the government!”

as a rule judges HATE individualism. Female judges more so.

being able to protect yourself negates the need for judges.

The judge is apparently a Clinton appointee.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

“There’s a strong public interest in lessening the risk of tragedies,” Judge Blake said. “Potentially the only economic harm could be on behalf of the dealers.”

How comforting it is to know that Judge Blake has decided only gun dealers will suffer economically from this.

I'd like the Judge to provide the evidence that this set of gun laws will "lessen the risk of tragedies." The evidence needs to be explicit.
