Maryland gun stuff
Apparently, folks in Maryland are considering adding an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing the right to arms. Guess the federal one isn’t enough. There are also other gun bill in the works there. Iron would be, of course, if both the amendment and the assault weapons ban were attached to the same bill. And Pro Gun Progressive, who attended some hearings, has a detailed post on some gun bills there.

That’s a bit like California passing an Amendment against oppressive taxation.

Like they did when they enacted Prop 13?

Well you know what, the federal constitution only provides the floor for rights, and it never hurts to have a state constitution specifically reiterate those rights, if not build upon them.
