Anne Arundel County MD Enacts Firearms Registration Database & Ignores Statewide Pre-Emption Laws
This ordinance attacks the heart of cherished statewide pre-emption laws that are one of the few protections that gun owners in Maryland have.
Maryland -–(Ammoland.com)- At the end of last year, the outgoing Anne Arundel County Council passed a law that added additional regulations on licensed firearms dealers.
The bill is extremely troublesome for a few reasons outlined below. The legislation was presented to the previous council under the guise of recovering stolen merchandise and although the police mentioned firearms dealers during their testimony the main thrust of their testimony was related to stolen electronics…not firearms. In fact, the word “firearm” appears nowhere in the law and the Anne Arundel County Police is interpreting the ordinance to apply to any licensed firearms dealer whose business handles used firearms.
