Over the years, Marylandâ??s anti-gun politicians have shown their disdain for our Second Amendment rights by introducing numerous proposals to limits our freedoms. This year Delegate Samuel Rosenberg (D-41) and State Senator Brian Frosh (D-16) have introduced legislation that would permanently alter the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun-ownerâ??s in Maryland. House Bill 820 and Senate Bill 645, deceptively titled as the â??Firearms Safety Act of 2010,â?? are nothing more than the same old tired gun-control agenda pushed by the same sanctimonious politicians who believe you have no Second Amendment rights, unless Delegate Rosenberg and Senator Frosh grant them to you.
