More Dangerous than...Just about Everything

The new anti-gun laws in NY State make it is more dangerous to own a high-cap magazine than to be involved with child pornography.

In Maryland, new laws (Senate Bill 281 just passed) may make it a $1000 fine and up to 3 years in prison for making each inadvertent paperwork mistake.  This is more punishment than for aggravated assault.  All gun stores and manufacturers will be subject to annual audits of their paper work.  If passed, the danger of possible prosecution of owners or employees will probably force most stores to close down and most manufacturers to move out of state. 

Manufacturers involved include Beretta, Benelli and Stoeger.  Beretta USA has 400 employees.  Guns banned by the bill include six Benelli shotguns with pistol grips.

See the interview with Beretta's General Counsel Jeff Reh on the Feb 28th edition on Cam and Company on www.nranews.com
