  2. I have no use for rappers but if they’re not breaking any laws they have rights like any other citizen. I know, I know, this is the Peoples’ Republic of Taxifornia, but do the math, folks: P Diddy or his homies got SWATed by some jerk with a cellphone.

    Nowadays it can happen to anyone. SWATing is the perfect weapon for your liberal neighbor who doesn’t like your display of the Flag or your pro-2A views.

    “Officer, I felt afraid. This man owns guns and he’s a war veteran and who knows what he might have done since I know he hates liberals.”

  3. Did they just copy paste the list of guns banned by name in Canada?

    Nowhere else have I seen the Barrett M82 referenced as the “Barrett light .50 cal. semi–auto”.

  4. “Dragunov Chinese made semi–auto”

    There are so few examples of these in the country that I can’t imagine this would have much impact in Maryland. The Russian versions are apparently perfectly legal, though, as I don’t see the SVD or Tigr on the list. At least Maryland’s anti’s have good taste. I guess. Or they’re idiots. Yeah, that sounds much more likely.

  5. Hilarious… considering what Mr. Sean Combs did to Moses Michael Levi, formerly Jamal “Shyne” Barrow:

    http://cdn.mediatakeout.com/57979/on-blassssstttt-rapper-shyne-turns-on-diddy-he-sounds-real-upset-like-he-might-do-something-to-diddy.html

    For those not familiar with the case, there was a club altercation involving guns. Shots were fired, people hit over stupid ish. Combs was just as guilty as Levi, but used his money and influence to escape punishment. Levi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and later converted to Judaism.

    So yeah… eff Sean Combs “anti-violence”.

    And contrary to what some folks might think, plenty of hip hop musicians are pro-2A. For example, Ice-T:

  11. I personally know one TTAG lurker who hopped off the fence in a gunward direction. As far as I know, she’s never posted here. I might know others socially, but don’t know that about them.

    The articles and much of the commentary decided her that the next time someTHING attempts to rape her it’ll be his last act – apart from screaming and falling.

    Her tool of choice – on my recommendation – is an HK P2000, and she’s getting to be pretty handy with it.

    I myself found this site through a Google session seeking data on the M1895 Nagant, and stayed around.

    My own position on the AR-15 platform has (to quote Obama) evolved, thanks to TTAG.

    Hopefully – and I suspect that – TTAG has a much wider audience than we know.

  12. The Rebello shooting in NY shows how effective the 7 bullet ban is. Maybe if the cops were limited to 7 shots that girl would still be alive, maybe the 8th shot hit her?

    Contact your representatives and demand the police adopt the life saving 7 rd limit!

  13. Think it will stand up in court? CA courts struck down an attempt to ban AKs and ARs by types. Which is why certain Colt ARs are fine, but essentially identical ones, lacking the CA as part of the model number, are not (seriously, that is the only difference between banned by name and good to go). And why I can still find AK-47’s for sale in So. Cal.

    The Court ruled that such a restriction is unconstitutionally vague and that an average person, considering the variations on furniture and the like, would not be able to readily identify the differences.

  14. “The list makes it obvious that Mr. O’Malley does not understand
    how firearms function,”

    This may be a great way to combat this PR-wise. Just start

    their ignorance.

    • Personal attacks are something the right tends to avoid. And that’s why they keep losing. Mud slinging gets results! If you know that the other guy’s wife blew a circus midget in the bathroom at a Slayer concert, make a commercial about it!

  16. It’s a cop, carrying a cop gun in a cop class… so it’s probably being open carried in a cop holster – likely a Safariland 6280 or similar, plus the article mentions it being a ‘retention holster.’
    Odds are that he was using standard police equipment. Tests show that the ‘accident’ makes no sense.
    Simplest explanation? He was reholstering (for whatever reason) with his finger on the trigger. Maybe a DAO trigger (again, it is a cop gun), maybe a DA trigger – that takes a lot of skill, right there. I’ll bet this guy could have an ND with the DA trigger on a PPK.

  17. They specifically banned the SPAS-12, a $2,000 conversation piece for movie buffs that’s been out of production for 13 years, but left out Benelli’s cheaper, lighter, more reliable, and far superior convertible shotguns. Not to mention TriStar’s TEC-12.

    I’d be angrier if I wasn’t laughing so hard.

Best of luck on getting across the border to a free state.

      PRESS RELEASE
      from Perazzi S.p.A.

      With reference to press reports concerning Daniele Perazzi’s alleged unlawful arrest for terrorism last Saturday in Denver (Colorado), we state that the incident is devoid of any foundation and the news is completely fabricated.
      Daniele Perazzi (founder of Perazzi SpA) died last year, and his son Mauro was not in the United States last Saturday.
      The Perazzis are not involved in any wrongdoing in any way, shape or form and, to our best knowledge, are not under investigation or scrutiny nor are targets of criminal proceedings.
      The Perazzi Company, contrarily to what has been reported, is very familiar with the US legislation on weapons due to its extensive presence in the American market.
      Perazzi is considering to take legal action to protect the brand and the Company’s reputation in the USA.

  24. I’m pretty sure they can’t get away with this. California tried this exact same tactic and quickly got pee-pee schwacked by the courts. CA tried to ban similar patterns to a rifle (like “Colt AR-15 and similar”) and lost in court, that’s why CA residents can still buy a Colt M4 or other manufacturers that aren’t banned by name.

    That was the origin of the “features test” ban.

  25. To give some background on Perazzi and their guns:

    Many of the current and recent past US Olympic Team shotgun competitors use Perazzi shotguns. They’re not a low-end gun. They’re up there with Krieghoff and other high-end European sporting and competition guns. Many other competitors at the highest levels of shotgun competitions are shooting Perazzi guns:

    http://perazzi.com/en/atleti

    In short, someone from Perazzi will be in Colorado again soon to support the US Olympic shooting team. They’re not coming through Colorado just to make idle chit-chat at a gun show. Their many other customers are well-heeled people who can afford shotguns that run $10K to $40K.

    The Denver PD has just bought themselves a heap of embarrassment, starting with the fact that their cops and other employees probably are such low-rent morons that they don’t know who or what a Perazzi shotgun is. If cops actually knew one-tenth as much about guns as they think they know, they’d have recognized the name immediately.

    But, when departments started buying arms for their employees, the employees could get through in their jobs with little to no knowledge about guns whatsoever. Now, most cops now wouldn’t know a S&W revolver from a Saturday Night Special… or that there are, in fact, many shotguns that are worth more than their cars.

  27. I held a Perazzo in a gun shop once and that was closed I ever came to having one. It was definitely a beautiful gun. Just all kinds of inlay and checking and color case harderning. One of those guns you can only truly appreciate when you touch it and personally for me the fit was perfect. You felt like you could hold it all day in firing position.

    • And that’s what you’re paying for.

      When Olympic medals and trap competitions worth 10’s the thousands of bucks in prize money are won or lost on the loss of a single clay out of hundreds of clays busted in a row, you need a gun that you can “hold it all day in the firing position.” Because that’s basically what you’re doing.

  35. Not a loan, but a friend bought a snubnose .38 Special for defense/carry, and with it the last box of .38 Special in the gun store – so I gave him a few hundred rounds of practice ammo and a box of good defensive JHP’s. I will/would give ammo to others I care about.

    I would turn loose a few cases to the local sheriff who was good enough to issue me a CA CCW if the need arose. I would give ammo on an individual basis to LEO’s in bad counties/cities who I know to be good people but the departments themselves can FOAD. They want me disarmed, and at an institutional level, I’m happy to return the favor.

  36. I thought the list was not exhaustive, meaning that just because it doesn’t appear on the list doesn’t mean that it’s not banned. For example, the bill reads such that it bans any semi-auto rifle with a detachable magazine that has one of the enumerated features listed in the bill (SB 281), as well as fixed magazine rifles that can accept 10 rounds or more, etc. Ditto for handguns and shotguns – definitions associated with each that would preclude manufacturer, make or model. Am I wrong about that?

    Reply
  37. All in all, the simple fact that gun owners rights were upheld with District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, as well as the mind numbing vagueness of the new Maryland gun laws means they can and will be defeated in a court of law. Don’t everyone despair. We can win this battle.

  39. Note:

    All the bull pups will probably be restricted because of the 29 inch overall gun limit. Or should we call them close quarters weapons. I know that the Tavor representative are trying to get the flash suppressor elongated to 3 inches and thus meet the 29 inch gun limit.

  40. I can’t believe people are spending $500 for a rimfire upper. Years ago I bought a Ciener .22LR chamber adaptor with a 30 rd. mag. for $160. Works great. Some brands of ammo may not eject reliably so I keep a short aluminum rod in the kit to poke them out of the adaptor when it happens.

    Also, to compensate for bullet drop you have to max out the rear site when shooting at 100 yds. Before rimfire became so expensive it was the only way to play John Wayne and spray up targets as fast as you could pull the trigger.

    The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened”. – Norman Thomas Presidential candidate, Communist Party USA

    The following 45 goals for AMERICA are from “The Naked Communist:”
    1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament would be a demonstration of moral strength.
    2. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”
    3. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Socialist/Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
    4. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
    5. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
    6. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
    7. Provide US aid to all nations regardless of Socialist/Communist domination.
    8. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
    9. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
    10. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
    11. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
    12. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish RACIST aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
    13. Grant recognition of Red China and admission to the UN.
    14. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of promises in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under UN supervision.
    15. Prolong conferences to ban atomic tests because US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
    16. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the UN
    17. Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. Note number of Communist/Socialist countries existing today
    18. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Socialist/Communist Party.
    19. Do away with all loyalty oaths. Note attempts to delete God in many.
    20. Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office.
    21. Infiltrate one or both political parties in the United States.
    22. Use courts to weaken basic American institutions claiming activities violate civil rights.
    23. Get control of the schools, teachers’ associations and textbooks. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum.
    24. Gain control of student newspapers.
    25. US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
    26. US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
    27. Use students to foment public protests against programs, individuals or organizations under Communist/Socialist attack. Chief of Police not being able to talk about “stop & frisk” Q&A.
    28. Infiltrate press, book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policymaking positions.
    29. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
    30. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. “Eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.” Note all the weird shapes all over nation.
    31. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” Remember Christ in urine piece?
    32. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.”
    33. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, health care, etc.
    34. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Socialist/Communist apparatus.
    35. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
    36. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
    37. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. Check backgrounds of leaders.
    38. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. Check backgrounds of founders.
    39. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. Check out “civilian” police force. See DHS on this.
    40. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Socialist/Communist goals.
    41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. “Need a village to raise children.” Clinton
    42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.
    43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
    44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. Carter gave Canal away.
    45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the US cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
