Concur. There's not a damn thing in there about "sporting" or "hunting".

Will they be having a turn in your violent video game day also or do they just single out firearms?

Naaah.
You can keep your dope, knives, baseball bats, your gang colors, your crack pipe, your rubbers, your grilles, your stolen cars, your pre-teen baby mama, and your copy of GTA.

Black Elk said it best many years ago:
"The boys of my people began very young to learn the ways of men, and no one taught us; we just learned by doing what we saw, and we were warriors at a time when boys now are like girls."
Boys can't be boys any more.

which, quite honestly, sucks. give me 'boys being boys' over 'metrosexuals' any day of the week. it teaches them a level of self-respect sorely lacking nowadays..I have found that the boys taught to behave like boys(& therefore men) are the ones that show the most kindness, respect and common decency to those who are weaker...

Hitler did the same thing. He knew he could never convince most ordinary Germans that his way was right so he established the Hitler Youth to ensure the next generation was properly indoctrinated.
Sad.

Maryland gun clubs sue Maryland State Police
Maryland Shall Issue, in association with the Associated Gun Clubs of Maryland, the Maryland Licensed Firearm Dealers Association, and several individual plaintiffs filed a complaint today in Baltimore County Circuit Court against the Maryland State Police (MSP) for the state’s failure to process firearm applications within the seven days mandated by Maryland law.
The MSP’s failure to comply with its statutory duty -- which MSP has admitted is taking closer to 55 than the required seven days -- infringes the fundamental constitutional right of Maryland citizens to purchase and keep firearms for purposes of self-defense in their homes, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, and puts them at risk while the bureaucracy takes its time to process citizen applications. The lawsuit seeks a court order compelling the MSP to process all firearms applications in seven days as required by law.
Additionally, the MSP’s failure to issue approvals has caused significant economic harm to licensed firearms dealers in Maryland. These business owners also risk civil or criminal sanctions if a firearm has been transferred to a purchaser whose application is later disapproved by the MSP.
We have requested an expedited review of this case given the nature of the harm brought against our members who are attempting to exercise a civil right. Additionally, the plaintiffs are listed as anonymous individuals - publishing their names would provide those persons looking to do harm notice that their potential victim is unarmed. For this reason, we ask that you do not speculate on their identity.
It has been 30 days since this was filed. Hope to hear results soon.

Is that 8 months in Maryland time?
Maybe when POTUS referred to 57 states he was thinking of those states that have their own more draconian guidelines for peasant behavior. Isn't it usually 3 days and, in the absence of any word back, an implied approval?

Nice, like the West.
It should be that when you pass a background check and qualification in any state its for the whole damn country...especially since that's the intent and purpose of the Second Amendment.

I believe pcfixer is speaking above to the issue of simply being allowed to carry through a purchase and get the permission slip such that the buyer can legally own the firearm, not a carry permit process.
