MD has a pre-emption law.
This doofus ought to check the law before running his mouth:
Criminal Law - §4–209.
Public Safety - § 5-133.
Public Safety - § 5-134.
Local governments are prohibited from regulating the purchase, sale, taxation, transfer, manufacture, repair, ownership, possession and transportation of handguns, rifles, shotguns and ammunition, with some exceptions.
Localities may regulate the purchase, sale, transfer, ownership, possession and transportation of such firearms and ammunition with respect to minors; law enforcement officials of the local government; and activities in or within 100 yards of "a park, church, school, public building, and other place of public assembly."
(note that taxation is not included in the approved "exceptions")
:no:On the surface you would think Maryland would be more open to gun issues. Yet the gun laws are more or the same as DC. Yet the gun related crime and death rate in DC and MD are ranked among the highest almost every year. Which would make one think folks living there and making the laws would try easing the laws on conceal carry for it's citizens to self protect. This guy running for Mayor must be the supreme idiot of all time. Thinking a “bullet tax” is going to have some effect on the crime rate is the most ridiculous idea I’ve heard in a long time.
