NRA and Maryland Shall Issue

Band together to take Maryland to court over the onerous requirements to buy a pistol that the other side openly admitted was for the sole purpose of burdening the exercise of a civil right.

(I like this over the bump stock case.  If you win the bump stock case and not the pistol buying case, that's like getting the crust crumbs but losing the pie.  'But it's about property rights, T-Bolt.'  That's not how it's gonna be remembered.)

To wit:

The current handgun qualification law requires residents in Maryland who wish to legally purchase a handgun to first fill out an application, obtain a copy of their fingerprints from a third-party, attend lengthy classroom instruction, pass a live-fire exercise, pay a $50 application fee, then wait up to 30 days for the state to process the information. Once these steps are completed, the purchaser must then follow Maryland’s additional laws and undergo another background check, pay another registration fee, and wait an additional seven business days before they can take possession of the gun.

And:

The state’s own expert witness admitted the law was created to “intimidate” law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment right to buy a handgun.

Nice to NRA help out. Usually Maryland is ignored by them.
