National Maryland’s top Democratic lawmakers want to ban ‘bump stocks’ for firearms

[Joe Link]

Maryland's top legislative leaders are backing a proposal to expand the state's automatic-weapons ban in 2018 by prohibiting the sale of bump stocks, a device used to accelerate the firing of semiautomatic weapons, including during last month's Las Vegas mass shooting.

Legislative aides for Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) and House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) said Wednesday that the lawmakers would support prohibiting sales of such mechanisms, a development first reported by the Baltimore Sun.

"There is no reason that bump stocks should exist," Busch said. "Think of the number of people who could have been saved in Las Vegas if there wasn't a bump stock."

Sen. Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) and Del. David Moon (D-Montgomery) have promised to introduce a bill next year to ban such devices, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said during a news conference Tuesday that it is "worth discussing doing something about bump stocks."

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a Maryland law that bans the sale of semiautomatic guns with certain military-style features. The law had been upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.

They want to ban all guns and do away with the 2nd amendment entirely.... so they will start chipping at it any way they can. Once they get rid of the 2nd - they can get rid of the 1st also. I bet we end up in a civil war before they figure out that their unintended consequences destroy more lives than they could have ever imagined. Of course, they are stupid leftists who do not understand cause and effect any whatsoever. They live in their own delusional bubble where you can power the world with unicorn farts and when you make up stupid new laws - even the criminals who never obeyed any laws before will suddenly obey the new ones..... in their stupid nonfunctional minds.

Seems that there hasn't been any statement as to how many were hurt by gunfire other than 58? Nobody has said that ANY of the other 450 plus were wounded by gunfire, OR the stampede! Of course, the idiots in Maryland don't care about reality, they're just thinking of WHAT? Too many blowholes in MD, not enough common sense. Isn't B'more the highest per capita shooting capitol of the US? Not one bump stock has been reportedly been used until now. But watch, some lame-o will wind up getting one to soothe the savage beasts who are hoping for that to happen, but of course not waiting for it.

Las Vegas?

The victims killed and wounded total 573.That number is the size of a military battalion.It is very difficult to turn an entire battalion into casualties with small arms fire, even in a fierce combat situation.

Can one person with no military training shooting down from 32 stories, which requires special sighting knowledge, at a distance of 390 yards, with bump fire stocks that allow for no aiming at all, hit 573 people in a few minutes of speratic firing? Maybe sheep.

"Conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theorists" were made up by the CIA—and who, in their 1967 memo, instructed the entire US media establishment on how to use them in order to disparage and attack anyone not agreeing with the "official" narrative on who murdered President John F. Kennedy.So with the above question asked here is my answer.

Stephen Paddock first became involved with the CIA was through his father Benjamin Hoskins Paddock—who was a member of the "Chicago Outfit" during the 1950's that was ruled over by one of the most feared mobsters in America named Sam Giancana.

Sam Giancana shared a woman named Judy Campbell with President John F. Kennedy, with American singer Frank Sinatra being the communication link between the two of them. Giancana becoming enraged with President Kennedy after the US Justice Department, headed by President Kennedy's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy began to target him and his criminal associates.

A Sam Giancana hit man named James Files confessed to being one of the killers of President Kennedy stating that they were aided in this assassination by the CIA with another Giancana mob associate named Jack Rubenstein (aka Jack Ruby) being the triggerman who killed the President Kennedy "patsy" assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Before his death JFK was targeting the CIA with it's extintion.

After JFK's death Giancana aiding the CIA with its many plots to kill Fidel Castro, and even more importantly, the CIA "arranging" to get Giancana crime associates out of US prisons.

One such Giancana crime associate was Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, the supposed shooters father whom, by 1960, had become a notorious bank robber. The FBI captured him in Las Vegas and he was given a 20 year prison sentence. But in 1968, the CIA broke him out of the US Federal prison he was held in. This caused the FBI to list him on their 10 Most Wanted List. The average time an escaped felon stays free is 6 months. He was caught September 6 1978 but with the CIA's help spent less than one year before being freed. After being freed he continued his criminal life and by 1987 was facing life imprisonment. But some how the broke felon paid $732,000 fines for racketeteering and other charges. He was allowed to move to Texas where he died 10 years latter

Stephen Paddock had been a gun smuggling pilot for the CIA during their "Operation Cyclone" to arm radical Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan in the 1980's. Paddock delivered thousands of weapons to a Mexican drug cartel between 2008-2011 in what is now known as "Operation Fast and Furious". He used in these arms deliveries his 2004 Cirrus Design Corp SR20 single engine plane having the Aircraft Registration Number N5343M. FAA records show him owning the plane from 2 June 2006 to 13 February 2010. It is now owned by an American defense company named VOLANT. Their motto on their website says: "SERVING THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE".


Everyone of you that has heard or seen any footage from that event or listened to any witness the media has shut down knows that wasn't a bump stock. Everyone of you knows it doesn't take a bump stock or a Hell Fire trigger to make a semi automatic act as a full auto if you like wasting ammunition and not hit what you are pointing at. It also makes no sense one person shooting down hill from 390 yards could take out over a battalion of personal no matter how packed they were . Just another false flag from a government known for them.

To believe this you would also believe a 737 made an 8 foot hole in the side of the pentagon and then vanished while 2 others turned 3 buildings into dust allowing the industrial military complex to still be making billions 16 years latter. The same reason John McCain is on television every Sunday preaching war on some small none nuclear country. Did anyone read Mac Namaria's (sp.) book about Vietnam. Follow the money.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."
William Casey CIA Director (1981)
