They call the bill Comprehensive Community Safety Funding Act because the tax will be split to different sectors which have to deal with the results of the gun violence such as shock trauma centers. This is deception of rights being infringed under the color of safety.

Both these bills already had their public hearings. The video below is clipped from the House hearing and includes only the questions and only the opposition. The opposition was represented by Maryland Shall Issue, John Josselyn of 2A Maryland, Benelli/Beretta headquartered in Maryland, NRA, and others. There was strong opposition even though there are 30 Delegates and 15 Senators who initially supported the bill. Some of the supporting delegates were asking pointed questions that indicated to me they no longer support the bill.

The next step for these bills is for the committees to vote it out of the committee and onto the floor. We the People don’t get notice of when that is occurring. In the meantime, the only option is to send the committee members additional testimony via email, although they claim they won’t read it if it wasn’t submitted during the time of public hearing. After the bills leave committee, it goes to the chamber floor for vote. Again one could email their representatives in each chamber to vote against the bills at that time. 

Listening to the attached video of the questions and opposition, I don’t believe this will get out of committee. Maryland Shall Issue basically testified it will challenge it in court if it does get passed.

This video and understanding these bills is pertinent to your standing up against the governments constant grab for our 2A rights. PAY ATTENTION!!!

Maybe on the camping trips in the deep woods.

Maybe you will need to protect yourself from your Caryn neighbor.

Or maybe you will need to protect yourself from your starving neighbors who are now delusional from the poison they were forced to have injected.

Do you think you can protect yourself against your government? Ever wonder why our State Constitution & U.S. Constitution talks about militias?

What are they and what is their true purpose?  Where did this part of our society go?  Can a militia be useful in today’s modern society?

Folks we are living in very unpredictable times. Are you prepared to protect yourself if necessary? I’m not talking of an aggressive overthrow of the government and the military. No I’m talking about protecting yourself from the local tyrannical government official, the outrageous neighbor or the gang that is now taking over your neighbor hood. What will you do? Are you at least prepared? And know how to protect yourself lawfully?

We are watching as tyranny ebbs ever closer to the shores of Liberty, slowly eroding the sands of our God-given Rights.

Learn about your rights to be prepared by using your Second Amendment rights in our next exciting and informative Freedom Forum with Shawn Matthews, in his presentation of Your Second Amendment Rights & The Militia.

You have heard many arguments about The Right To Keep And Bear Arms.  You have heard the scary “M” word.  Government at all levels today wants to deny us these precious God-given Right, along with many others.  Maryland’s Constitution does not mention anything about The Right To Keep and Bear Arms. Why not?

Join us in Part 1: The History of The Militia & The 2nd Amendment to learn what these God-given Rights are and what they mean for us as Citizens in the State of Maryland as well as Citizens of the United States.  Learn why these concepts and Rights are important to secure our own freedom and liberty from tyranny.  This presentation will help you to be able to understand and articulate why these God-given Rights are so important to the security of the Free State and for free government. Finally, learn what our Founding Fathers thought about these issues. 

Our Presenter:

Shawn Matthews is an active trainer with the Institute on the Constitution after studying their courses extensively. He is also a veteran of the US Army 1st Battalion 30th Infantry Regiment with 2 tours in Iraq. He currently serves as a Maryland State Trooper where he has earned numerous awards and recognitions in his 10 years of service and is assigned to the Annapolis Barrack. Shawn and his family are dedicated supporters of the Constitution and seeks to share this knowledge with other members of the community so that they can be empowered to stand up for their God given rights and to keep our great Constitutional Republic.
