Just wanted to let everyone vent at this idiot governor who couldn't get a gunlock off a gun in a well lit conference room, other than Grey out probably the most Anti Gun Governor going,
I told his secretary I'm damn pleased the piece of sh!t that pays no attention to government criminals is leaving.
His brother wasn't the only one is his family that went "that way."
Banging on an anti-gun Governor is all well and fine but the move is a competent one. Grow the hell up.
B*tchy and condescending both in the same post. Do you work for the DNC? If not, you should. Your response displays a knack for nonsubstantive, slash-and-burn responses.
The governor's rash, constitutionally questionable, and overkill (no pun intended) response to the sniper incidents should be questioned. Nobody is hunting anywhere near where the sniper is roaming. Please explain why YOU think the move is "a competent one"?
If you're wandering in or near the woods and think that gunshot you just heard is a sniper, you: (1) probably shouldn't be in the woods in the first place, (2) probably aren't anywhere near a major road and if it is the sniper, he'll be easily caught if you call it in.
If you're in the middle of Bethesda and hear a gunshot, then: (1) that person is not hunting, (2)that person is endangering other people or defending themselves from a dangerous person, and police should be called.
No criminal (sniper or not) is going to heed this shooting ban. The only people this affects are law-abiding gun owners who use their guns responsibly.
Do you always shoot your mouth off, even if you're uninformed and ignorant?
No need to waste local resources chasing down single shots from every direction.
Why do you presume that anyone's hunting anywhere near populated areas in these counties? (especially since you admit to being ignorant of Maryland)
He's the same idiot that signed a de facto ban on handgun sales in MD by requiring that they use technology which will probably not exist when the law takes effect.
He is a problem for you...and you're a problem for the rest of us until you wake the f@ck up. You're in the Navy? Cripes!
And shooting people (even in combat)is something to be proud of and brag about? Sure sounds like that's what you're doing. BTW, I've never been hunting in my life, so I've never put a round in any "scurrying animal".
Like I was saying; shutting down hunting in the closest counties around DC isnt any infringment on second amendment rights. You cant make the connection...that is why you keep whining about the other things he has done.
The Dems in Maryland have been incrementally infringing on the Second Amendment for years, and this is just another step, taken at a time when the right to own a gun is more important than ever for personal protection. Since you're not familiar with Maryland, I don't have an hour to cite everything Maryland has done to infringe on the 2nd amendment. If you want to have a reasonable conversation, look it up first.
If he is an anti-gun Governor then get him out of office instead of making up bogus charges about this subject.
What bogus charges have I made? Please specifically cite them.
I am currently working hard to get the Dems out of office in Maryland, as a member of Bob Ehrlich's campaign.
Now VaBthang4, I'm done with you and your ignorant, hot-headed attitude. Now take a deep breath, calm down, go take your meds if necessary... You sound like the prototypical hot-headed ex-Marine. Guys like you give all servicemen a bad name.
Oi...
No...pretending some Governor in Maryland is somehow stealing the 2nd amendment [Which in no way address' "hunting"] by cancelling this years fall hunting season in four [4] counties close to a sniper plagued DC....that's what I wish I could brag about.
LOL
And oh yeah....dropping Iraqis is something I brag about.
"The Dems in Maryland..."
Shutting down this year's fall hunting season in the closest counties around DC isnt any infringment on second amendment rights. You cant make the connection...that is why you keep whining about the other things he [now they] have done.
"I am currently working hard to get the Dems out of office in Maryland, as a member of Bob Ehrlich's campaign."
Yeah...how's that working out for ya?
If you're not a winner you're a.....?
"Now VaBthang4, I'm done with you..."
Thank you.
Oooo You big Man you.
Hahaha....
They're not, because Glendenning - at the request of local police - instituted a ban.
I live very near the area where the sniper is operating, and there are areas designated for hunting here. The majority of the population is urbanized, and would likely not know the difference between one gun shot and another. Nor would they recognize the kinds of guns the hunters are taking into the woods.
The police do not need to spend all the time and effort needed to check out every guy in a truck who is going hunting. The ones who really need a "hunting fix" can drive one county over. Hopefully, it will be just a short term ban, but the idea is to keep phone tips from overwhelming the police.
Yeah...how's that working out for ya?
If you're not a winner you're a.....?
It worked out quite well, thank you.
EHRLICH BEATS KENNEDY KIN IN MARYLAND GOV SHOCKER
Surprisingly, the answer to your question is: "If you're not a winner, you're a .......Kennedy."
