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.

    Well yeah, granted. It just chafes me every time someone uses SCOTUS as an authority after Robert’s court has spent that last couple decades chipping away at our rights.

      Roberts always struck me as partially reasonable. He has a huge blind spot when it came to the voting rights act and Citizens United, but he’s not that extreme all the time.

      The court didn’t REALLY turn until the Trump appointees, who all need to be removed.
