Gun and Ammo taxes.

I feel for gun owners in Maryland if the 50% tax and yearly firearm registration fees pass!
Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.

That's unlikely to pass, but you can look to see "reasonable" taxes put in place, then increased every year (like cigarette taxes).

You can look for MD people to come to PA and VA for ammo! I feel for MD gun shops but at least their gas stations will see a boost.

You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.
