URGENT: House Vote on Governor’s Gun Control Bill Imminent – More Restrictive Amendments Being Considered

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

Contact Your State Delegates IMMEDIATELY! 

Right now in Annapolis, state legislators are considering amendments to Senate Bill 281, Governor Martin O’Malley’s deceptive and far-reaching attacks on your right to self-defense.  Time is of the essence:  a vote could occur at any time and the list of horrible anti-gun amendments is long.  Call your state Delegate(s) immediately and urge them to stand strong and oppose SB 281, and all anti-gun amendments.

With the 2014 elections next year, it is important to keep in mind that a vote in support of an amendment that bans “only” specific guns by name or model, or an amendment that bases your ability to defend yourself on whether or not your firearm has purely superficial features is still a gross overreach of power and an infringement on our fundamental rights.  There is no room for compromise.  Residents of Maryland deserve legislators who would rather stand up for the essential liberties and fundamental rights of their constituents than be a puppet of the anti-gun Governor.

This could be your last chance.  Call your state legislators NOW.  Urge them to oppose Senate Bill 281, its companion House Bill 294, and any anti-gun amendments or legislation that hinders a law-abiding citizen’s right to self-defense.  Contact information can be found below. 

Please also contact Governor O’Malley and tell him that 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.
