Just when you thought you have seen it all, here comes Maryland. I am 64 and retired NAVY but recently became a "defensive weapon" owner within the last (5) years so I am not up to speed on all the ins and outs of the "assault weapon" ban/reversal of 1994. i have read a lot in the last year and am "fairly" knowledeable about most types of weapons.
BUT, today I learned about "assault pistols" and I am befuddled. From MD's proposal here is what they call "assault pistols"
29 (C) [In this subtitle, “assault] “ASSAULT pistol” means any of the following
30 firearms [or a copy regardless of the producer or manufacturer]:
SENATE BILL 623 3
(1) AA Arms AP–9 semiautomatic pistol; 1
(2) Bushmaster semiautomatic pistol; 2
(3) Claridge HI–TEC semiautomatic pistol; 3
(4) D Max Industries semiautomatic pistol; 4
(5) Encom MK–IV, MP–9, or MP–45 semiautomatic pistol; 5
(6) Heckler and Koch semiautomatic SP–89 pistol; 6
(7) Holmes MP–83 semiautomatic pistol; 7
(8) Ingram MAC 10/11 semiautomatic pistol and variations including 8 the Partisan Avenger and the SWD Cobray; 9
(9) Intratec TEC–9/DC–9 semiautomatic pistol in any centerfire 10 variation; 11
(10) P.A.W.S. type semiautomatic pistol; 12
(11) Skorpion semiautomatic pistol; 13
(12) Spectre double action semiautomatic pistol (Sile, F.I.E., Mitchell); 14
(13) UZI semiautomatic pistol; 15
(14) Weaver Arms semiautomatic Nighthawk pistol; or 16
(15) Wilkinson semiautomatic “
Educate me. Have any of you heard the term "assault pistols" ? That being said, if this passes, MD will have the most restrictive gun laws surpassing even DC, CA and NY. Having lived in PA for 20 years (home state) after (28) years in the NAVY I can say without any fear of being proven wrong that the closer you get to D.C. or NYC the more incredibly stupid the politicians get. Mayor Bloomberg/Governor Cuomo.
Need I say more. Here is the link.
