I don't care much for how the list was done. There is a lot of the normal federal stuff there, then the MD HQL requirement and the 7 day waiting period. The list is padded with federal stuff we all have to do for every purchase in a state where private sales require a background check, and there is also a lot of repetition. Regardless, the HQL is clear infringement and contrary to Bruen it seems to me. The folks most affected are likely to be women who had a relationship with an abuser or (other) nutcase and are in danger. They have no defense until they can jump through the hoops if not already a handgun owner. The answer is for ALL women, or maybe even every Md resident, to go ahead and get the HQL and a handgun and not wait until it might be needed to save a life. If every Md resident would get an HQL, it would defeat the purpose of the law.

If women would recognize the danger the left has created for them and vote accordingly, the law would cease to exist.

Anything besides the following is an infringement, in my opinion.

End of story.

Somewhat surprised so many stay in states with those laws.

There are some benefits to being here.

The fishing, trapping and hunting are pretty liberal.
The whole state isn’t Baltimore.
On this side of the bay, we don’t live in fear.

It seems rules creep West from the East gun and hunting wise from my observations. I’ve seen some changes for the better in both but it’s still rare, it’s all about power and control more than anything else.

The east to west theory doesn't explain California, Oregon and Washington. The anti gun political agenda originates in Dem controlled areas and spreads like a plague from there, whether east or west, north or south. From Ca it has spread to Co as Californians moved to the Denver area. Then there is Illinois, another state that had to be forced by the federal courts to implement a concealed carry permit process.

Here in Va anti gun legislation moved forward when the Republicans lost the their majority in the state House of Delegates. We got a ban on private sales without a background check, repeal of primacy of state law (allowing counties and cities to make their own rules), ban on concealed carry on state facilities including highway rest areas, etc.

As you said, it is all about power and control more than anything else.

LOL we know the West coast is not the real West and hasn’t been for a long time it’s no different then the East coast even worse in many ways.
