Check out the "talk back" - some interesting statistical info provided towards the bottom. Lots of good comments, plus some funny ones like the one titled "How big a gun do you need?":wacko:

[Boogyman]

Four short paragraphs in an obscure little Maryland newspaper... :rolleyes:

Icey, your really grasping now. I can just picture you up all night feverishly searching the net for any little thing that has the words "democrat" and "gun control" in it together. :lol:

But really, these little niblets belong in another forum.

It's called "Gun Laws", I'm sure your aware of it... <_<

It is a radio station.

Refresh my memory how does one “feverishly search” a radio station?

Laws are something passed by a legislature and signed by an executive branch.

An attempt to infringe on a Constitutional Right is politics.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Semiautomatic rifles and shotguns are used in a crime in Maryland on average once every two days, according to a study released Wednesday by gun control advocates.
The study is based on an analysis of crime statistics for 1998 through 2001. It said at least 789 semiautomatic long guns that can legally be sold in Maryland were traced to a crime in Maryland during that period.
Delegate Neil Quinter, D-Howard, and CeaseFire Maryland, a gun control organization, said the study shows that Maryland needs to expand the 1994 law that bans the sale of semiautomatic pistols to include rifles and shotguns.
Opponents have defeated bills that would expand the law, arguing that the ban would infringe on the rights of lawful gun owners and would do nothing to reduce crime because such guns are seldom used to commit crimes.

It's the WEBSITE or "podcast" of a radio station that you found "feverishly searching" the internet.

Duh. :rolleyes:

Next you're going to try to tell me that you can pick up Maryland radio stations in Redlands, CA. :wacko:
Laws are something passed by a legislature and signed by an executive branch.
An attempt to infringe on a Constitutional Right is politics.
This is about a LAW that is being debated in Maryland:

"the study shows that Maryland needs to expand the 1994 law that bans the sale of semiautomatic pistols to include rifles and shotguns."

"Opponents have defeated bills that would expand the law,"

Whatever, Icey. Once again all you can do is deteriorate the topic into a pointless, nit-picking, squabbling and quibbling about irrelevant nonsense. :rolleyes: Newspaper or radio station, who cares? It's the Assosiated Press, fer chrissakes. :wacko:

If you insist on making yourself look shallow and foolish in this childish manner than go for it. :lol:

[ice-nine]
