Comment on SB 281 To Referendum or Not by Todd Arbogast

Todd Arbogast — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:55:34 +0000

I would like to see, and would support, any effort to undo the damage SB281 is capable of, but I don’t believe a referendum is necessarily misguided or the wrong thing to do. I’m open to being convinced otherwise, but here is how I see it.
As much as we would like to sell Marylanders on the fact that SB281 is eliminating our Constitutional rights, it simply isn’t. It does however infringe upon them; that, along with a notion of keeping us safer, while doing the exact opposite, is why I oppose it. That said, a provision of the Firearms Owners Protection Act (Signed into law by Ronald Regan in 1986), called the Hughes Amendment banned the sale of fully automatic machine guns, as well as, “Security” weapons (instead of assault), that our military and law enforcement use has already infringed on our rights at a FEDERAL level. So infringement has already been established, and we are unfortunately at the point of adjusting the degree of infringement to satisfy the masses.
There is however, a win-win to the referendum option. If the vote fails, then liberty in Maryland lives to endure another restrictive, but less so, political cycle. Should the vote pass, then the majority of Marylanders got what they wanted. Hopefully, such passage would spark a statewide job hunt in other states for those of us that opposed it. I would expect businesses to relocate, and Maryland to fall into economic rubble. Indicating to the other states that the policies of Maryland are flawed, and possibly preventing another attempt a federal ban. However, if it were to pass and none of my predictions came true, then we’ve shown the world that we will just lie down and accept it like we did in 1986. Since the Firearms Owners Protection Act has forced us to draw lines at somewhere other than INFRINGED, I would rather see this play out at a state level, then a federal one. Just my opinion….

Dear Delegate Dwyer, I am a Democrat, and have been trying to do this for years. I would suggest you also get other like-minded Dems to vote their conscience, rather than their party. Hopefully, we can put this attempt to undermine our Rights to rest.

Thank you- Skip from FL!
We should all work together to protect our God Given rights!
Delegate Dwyer is a true PATRIOT. The chipping away of our Constitutional rights that this abominal far Left administration in DC is imposing on us and the DOUBLE WHAMMY of the draconian laws imposed by the tyrants in the Maryland Legislature have left many of us law abiding citizens extremely worried.!WE THE PEOPLE and our local Sheriffs are the last stand. What Delegate Don is doing is LEGAL because he is following the State Constitution of Maryland. Do NOT let the tyrants tell us otherwise. The Constitution is the law of the land. Our Founding Fathers were brilliant visionaries. Now our country and many of our states are run by socialists who are completely IGNORANT of the Constitution. Too bad for them it still is the law and the foundation of our great nation. These far lefties are walking a very, very dangerous slope.
Thank GOD for the few law makers who still acknowledge and honour our Constitution, both Federal and State.

Understand your complaints, but PLEASE report the facts. NO Assault weapon was used, it was a handgun. Rifle was locked in trunk. Most crimes are done by handguns, not assault weapons.

Please stop being the problem and work on real solutions
