Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.

Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.

"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.

    it’s now impossible for a normal citizen to legally obtain a handgun in Canada

    Very good, be grateful you live in a modern and civilized place, go out and do things that normal citizens do then. Get a hobby. You don’t need to own or use deadly weapons nor be part of a ‘well regulated militia’, no one does.

      Hey I’m not sure this was your intention but the way you passed your response feels like you’re criticizing me.

      It makes it hard to respond without seeming like I’m on the defensive. But for example, I am grateful to live in a country with more sane gun laws than the USA. I do things normaltm citizens do. I also happen to know normaltm people that own guns. How do I know them? By participating in hobbies (with them). Like yeah I agree not many people need to own guns but a lot do, and if you want to improve the gun situation in the USA there are some legal and political realities you’ll have to work within.
