<<TIMEWATCHER>> User ID: 32911015 United States 02/08/2013 06:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Maryland Governor Wants to Charge $100 for 2nd Amendment Rights Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley is pushing for state lawmakers to put in place a requirement forcing citizens of that state to obtain a $100 license for ownership of a handgun. This is not a license to carry or conceal a handgun--simply to own one. In effect, it is the governor's way of telling Maryland residents they don't have 2nd Amendment rights unless they successfully jump through the hoops the state places between them and those rights first. Ironically, Maryland tried to use a very similar tactic with concealed carry permits in their state until spring of last year. The state took the position that concealed carry permits would only be awarded to Marylanders who could prove they needed to carry a gun. On March 6, 2012, U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg ruled such a requirement was unconstitutional, stating, "A citizen may not be required to 'offer a good and substantial reason' why he should be permitted to exercise his rights. The right's existence is all the reason he needs."

They should also have some kind of politician insurance, be registered and pass a background check. They also need politician training. Also, politicians should offer a good and substantial reason why they want to be politicians. Our politics are already a circus. The clowns should jump through some hoops.

But this country's government has been taken over by an organized crime syndicate, so what else can you expect.
