If it's not ok, propose something that will help the situation...
here's a few... universal background checks, limiting the size of
clips, increase funding for mental health services, make it easier
for
phychiatrists to report people who are dangerous, relax the limits
on
how long transaction info can be stored, require all transactions of
guns to be recorded (just like a car.. if it's a family member, a
minimal fee is required), make these things federal not state, so
guns
can't be bought in one state and moved to another without a record.

Feel free to add some of yourown.

I agree with everything on your list and have stated so. What I am
*not* in favor of is limiting the number of purchases that may be
made
in a month by legally licensed people, adding a 50% tax on
ammunition
or any of the other hair brained proposals by some politicians that
will
do absolutely nothing to curb firearm violence.



Maryland severely restricts the number of "controlled" firearms that
can
be purchased each month to one, controlled meaning pistols of modern
manufacture. There's a bill going through the legislative hearing
process now that will, if enacted, "alter the authorization for a
person
to wear, carry, or transport a handgun to be within specified
limitations; designating specified firearms as assault weapons;
prohibiting, with specified exceptions, a person from transporting an
assault weapon into the State or possessing, selling, offering to
sell,
transferring, purchasing, or receiving an assault weapon; authorizing
specified licensed firearms dealers to continue to possess, sell,
offer
for sale, or transfer specified weapons under specified circumstances;
etc."

The bill as introduced:

It prohibits mags that hold more than 10 rounds.

I hope it passes.

I assume that means that concealed carry permits will also become
limited in terms of when and why one may carry.
Deval has that one on his list as well.
I don't support that.
