"On Wednesday, Maryland Shall Issue, Inc. ... praised the Maryland General Assembly on handing Governor O'Malley his first veto overturn of the year when it passed a bipartisan and overwhelmingly--indeed, unanimously--backed bill to save the state money by permitting police officers to recycle their old handguns."
"The Maryland Governor had ... decided to promote his agenda for gun rights control by turning a money-saving issue into a gun control issue and calling an emergency session to raise taxes after he had vetoed the bill. This would have resulted in higher costs for the citizens in the form of taxes and for the police by forcing officers to buy brand new handguns instead of getting recycled guns for sometimes no cost at all." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
