Maryland Update: Vote on Governor’s Gun Control Scheme This Thursday - Your Action Needed NOW to Protect Your Rights

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Emergency: Last Chance to Demand Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee and Your Senator to Oppose All Aspects of SB 281

This Thursday, the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee is set to vote on Senate Bill 281 (more information on this bill can be found here).  It is likely that this sweeping anti-gun legislation will be reported out by this Committee and voted on by the entire Maryland Senate at the end of this week.  SB 281 has drawn much criticism and protest from Maryland citizens.  Evident from the huge turnout at the February 6th rally of thousands of Second Amendment supporters in Annapolis, this legislation is strongly opposed by law-abiding Marylanders.  Now is your LAST CHANCE to express your opposition, and it is extremely important that you do so IMMEDIATELY.  DO NOT let them ban your guns and make YOU a criminal.

It is EXTREMELY urgent that Marylanders contact their own state senators and Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee members in advance of their meeting this Thursday at 1:00pm.  Strongly urge all state legislators to oppose Governor Martin O’Malley’s extremist gun control package in any formDo NOT let them take away your rights like Governor Cuomo did in New York.  Your voice makes a difference and you have a chance to stop this dangerous legislation.

Please also contact Governor O’Malley and tell him you oppose his attacks on your rights!  He can be e-mailed using the online form here and called at (800) 811 8336 and (410) 974 3901.
