Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee will hear House Bill 636, legislation that increases penalties, broadens definitions, and places strict requirements on the storage of firearms in Maryland. HB 636s cross-file, Senate Bill 646, is also scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee on Thursday. The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee has further scheduled to consider legislation, SB 816, that will put most small firearm dealers out of business. Please contact members of these committees and politely urge them to OPPOSE these misguided and dangerous bills.

"This broad and unnecessary intrusion makes firearms useless in self-defense situations."
It's also been already ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.
Held:
3)
the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional. D.C. v. Heller (2008)
Dicta:
[A] statute which, under the pretense of regulating, amounts to a destruction of the right, or which requires arms to be so borne as to render them wholly useless for the purpose of defense [is] clearly unconstitutional. |
