If you live in Maryland and travel out of state, you can legally buy

Like I said, the stupidest "assault weapons ban" I have ever seen.
Knowing what I do about Maryland politics, it makes me wonder who
bribed whom to get these loopholes in the law.

The bans have effective dates, with ownership prior to the effective
date "grandfathered" legal. So, while Maryland can ban the sale of
certain items such as hi-cap mags after a certain date, it can hardly
ban the purchase of those items out of state because they are not serial
numbered and date of purchase cannot be established.

Now, if you have a skinny barrel upper on a legal lower, and that lower
was manufactured/purchased after the ban date, you could be in trouble,
because the state can determine the "age" of that lower, possibly its
date of manufacture, and certainly the date you legally bought it from
an FFL.

So why even bother?

If there are millions of assault weapons exempted, it sounds like
politicians just trying to be able to say they are doing something

I suppose that is just what happens when you try to write a law that
is uncontitutional on it's face.

Here's how high capacity magazines are treated in Massachusetts. My
understanding is that if you have a pre-ban magazine and it's possession
is questioned the owner has to prove he/she owned it prior to 1994.
