You can tell anti-gun groups know they lost on the handgun ban issue because they:
1) Always criticize Bruen but rarely do the same for Heller
2) Argue that AR-15s can be banned because handguns are better for self-defense
3) Pretend they never supported handgun bans
The ban on the sale, receipt, purchase or transfer of Glocks (SB 334) has been enacted by both Houses of the General Assembly. It will now be "presented" to the Governor. The General Assembly "presents" an enacted bill to the Governor who has, under the Maryland Constitution, 30 days (after the legislature's adjournment) to sign or veto the Bill. See MD Const. Article II, section 17(c) ("(c) Any Bill presented to the Governor within six days (Sundays excepted), prior to adjournment of any session of the General Assembly, or after such adjournment, shall become law without the Governor's signature unless it is vetoed by the Governor within 30 days after its presentment."). "Presentment" to the Governor can take place within 20 days after adjournment, which is May 3, 2026, this year. See Maryland Const. Article III, Section 30 ("All bills passed during a regular or special session shall be presented to the Governor for the Governor's approval no later than 20 days after adjournment."). So there is a window in which a signature can take place. I have no doubt that Gov. Moore will sign SB 334. We are gearing up our challenge to this Bill.
@MattMorgan29A Does it prevent local law enforcement from providing the information to a non government 3rd party who then provides it to the federal government that then waits outside the door of the detention facility for the releases?
@DocStrangelove2 Racking the slide works on every semi auto, left hand or right hand, your favorite glock, or another handgun you're unfamiliar with. You don't have to guess where the slide stop is under stress, or if it's a safety/decocker/take down. A single manual of arms that is universal.
@myhellcatsays@MorosKostas Then your current permit is still valid. This is one of the reasons why your md permit says "contact md gun center before law enforcement action" (arrest) right under your expiration date.
@myhellcatsays@MorosKostas Under MD law, any license that is renewed at least 14 days before its expiration date remains valid until the renewal is processed. Your expiration date is the last day of your birth month. If your renewal app was submitted at least 14 days prior (and marked accepted)...
@Rocket_Scintst@MetroGuns@fourboxesdiner@AAGDhillon "Last day of the birth month following 2 years" for the 1st permit. That can be from 2 years and 1 day to 2 years and 364 days, depends on what day the applicant applied and how far from their birthday it was. Renewals are good for 3 years.
@ThatGuyMarkRyan@MorosKostas Dealing with a firearm ban is simple for the court at this point, just apply their precedent from cases heller through bruen. The elephant in the room, how to deal with the anti 2a legislators and lawyers that will just pretend they cannot read it & misinterpret it
@2AinNY@Stambo2A@fourboxesdiner@GunWashington@hannahhill_sc They are defined as firearms in the 1968 GCA. So they would be regulated and require 4473 at purchase or transfer, and probably be subject to the federal excuse tax... if that applies to "firearms"
My question, only a ffl07 would be required for manufacture, correct? No more SOT?
@2AinNY@MorosKostas@fourboxesdiner@GunWashington@hannahhill_sc@Stambo2A@News2ATeam Granting cert to an AWB case is the easy part.
How to deal with all the associated issues is the hard part. Nobody wants another ignored Heller or Bruen. Nobody wants higher fees, appliaction shenanigans, and misinterpretations. Nobody wants an author other than Thomas or Alito
