Senate Hearings tomorrow for two more anti-gun bills

February 27, 2019

To Arlington Rifle and Pistol Club,

There are two antigun bills being heard in the Senate tomorrow. Try parking in the Gotts Garage behind the Senate Building. There is a cafeteria in the basement of the Senate Building. Try to get there no later than 10:00 a.m. to sign in if you wish to testify. The hearings start at noon.

Please email the Senate Judiciary committee and ask for an unfavorable finding on these bills.

Thank you,

Rob

2019 Session – Senate Gun Bill Day #2
Legislative Report #8
February 26, 2019

Dear Rob,

SENATE GUN BILL DAY #2: Wednesday, February 27th at 12 Noon in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee (JPR).

We need another strong turnout to counter the "Red T Shirt" anti-gun crowd.

See links below, and on our Legislative webpages.

House Gun Bill Day: Quick After Action Report

A total of 19 gun bills were heard beginning at 10 AM on Monday morning, running non-stop all day, into the night, and not ending until approximately 4 AM.

Thanks go out to all to all 1,200 plus gun owners who signed up to testify and especially to those who refused to be silenced by the long wait and stood their ground through the all day and most of the night hearing process.

Special thanks to John Commerford, Deputy Managing Director, NRA/ILA for providing an impromptu pizza party for our side.

We filled the hearing room and several overflow rooms as well; clearly outnumbering the "Red T Shirts", a local anti-gun organization, and out of state Everytown lobbyists.

Well done!

Please continue to encourage your friends and colleagues to join the 2A Maryland Legislative Emaillist. Accurate information in real time is critical to our effort to defeat those who would destroy our rights.
