HOW MARYLAND ATTORNEY GENERAL BRIAN FROSH WILL #DISARMHATE (2360 hits)



After the horror that unfolded in Orlando this month, directed at the LGBT community and made possible by ready access to weapons of war, many of my friends are demanding action.

This week, I joined Congressmen Chris Van Hollen, Elijah Cummings, John Sarbanes and Dutch Ruppersberger, along with Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence, for a National Day of Action to disarm hate and prevent further gun-fueled carnage.

We cannot become desensitized to the horror of Orlando. We cannot accept a status quo enabled by a Republican majority unwilling to stand up to the gun lobby.

The facts are inescapable: A military-style assault weapon was used to slay 49 young, vibrant nightclub patrons in Florida, who may have been targeted because of their s*xual orientation.

A similar weapon was deployed in the slaughter of 20 innocent children and 6 adults in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut; in the murder of 12 people with 70 more wounded in a theater in Aurora, Colorado; and in too many other mass killings.

Assault weapons equipped with large capacity magazines are the weapons of choice for mass murderers. They make it too easy for a single individual to inflict mass casualties and drive up the death toll in minutes.

These weapons are not needed for hunting, or property protection.

They are weapons of war designed to kill people on the battlefield. There is no reason for a citizen to own an assault rifle unless he is planning an assault.

Within days of the Orlando shooting, the Supreme Court rejected a Second Amendment challenge to assault weapons and large capacity magazine bans in New York and Connecticut.

Maryland has similar bans, and my office defended them last month in an en banc hearing before the entire 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.

We must do whatever it takes to stop the killing. We need to reinstate the federal ban on military style assault weapons. We need to limit high-capacity magazines that hold the bullets that allow these mass murders to take place. We need background checks and licensing requirements.

As Attorney General, I am fully committed to defending Maryland’s assault weapons ban, and to supporting the courageous votes of state and federal legislators who work every day to protect public safety and reduce the risk of deadly gun violence.

I am asking you today for your help. Please join my fight against gun violence, and help me build the support we need to make progress. It is only with your assistance that we can lead in this truly life-and-death struggle.

This year’s election – and those to come – will pit us against those who would roll back our efforts, and who wrongly think that the only answer is to put more guns in people's’ hands.

We can’t let that happen. I fought for common sense gun laws when I was in the state Senate. I am fighting today, in the courts, and with my partners.

Please give what you can today, and thank you for being part of this effort.




Sincerely,

Brian Frosh

Great point of this video. The point is, not to stop a GOOD guy with a gun but to stop a bad guy from getting a gun.

Steven are you oppose to stopping a bad guy from getting his hands on a gun?

Baltimore Maryland has had a great incident of Usage of extreme weapons by its Citizens against its citizens for many years.

Baltimore Maryland has had a great incident of Law Enforcement Usage of extreme weapons against its citizens for many years.

Baltimore Maryland has had a great incident of Law Enforcement Usage of extreme weapons against its citizens for many years in Rioting that occurred within the past 12-15 months

During the Historic California Administration of "good guy" "bad guy" Governor Ronald Reagan; HEARLDED as an NRA founding father when confronted with "good guy" "bad guy" blackPanthers with extreme weapons....

------- Gun Laws in California were changed....

I would suggest for the "good guy" "bad guy" Maryland Administration of Congressmen Chris Van Hollen, Elijah Cummings, John Sarbanes and Dutch Ruppersberger that they FIRST pass into LAW that a group of 'blackORwhite' Maryland Citizens be allowed to walk down any Maryland Street or Lane with extreme weapons

.....as the slaughter of 20 1st Grade 5-6 year old Americans does not Change Laws of extreme military weapons....

That's fine Robert, except they are not extreme weapons. They are as basic in 21st century America as the flintlock pistol and rifle were in 18th century America.

Steven YOUR WORDS: It depends on your definition of "bad guy".

Notable incidents of anti-abortion violence include the murders of a number of doctors and clinic staff in the 1990s.

In 1993, Michael F. Griffin shot Dr. David Gunn to death during a protest.

In 1994, Paul Jennings Hill shot Dr. John Britton and clinic escort James Barrett to death, also wounding Barrett's wife June;

John Salvi shot and killed two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols. Paul Hill would yell at the clinic "God Hates Murderers"; yet, Paul Hill murdered people.[3]

Eric Robert Rudolph bombed the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta in protest of abortion, killing one person and wounding 111, and bombed several abortion clinics in 1997 and 1998, killing a security guard and critically injuring a nurse.

In 1998, James Kopp shot a number of abortion providers, killing one, Dr. Barnett Slepian.

In 2009, Scott Roeder shot and killed Dr. George Tiller. Tiller served as an usher at church; he had previously been a target in 1993, when he was shot by Shelley Shannon. The Army of God, an underground terrorist organization, has been responsible for a substantial amount of anti-abortion violence, including a number of the above murders.

In 2015, Robert Lewis Dear, a 57 years-old Kentucky born, moved from South Carolina to North Carolina to Colorado where he opened fire on a Planned Parenthood facility, killing two civilians and a police officer. After a five-hour standoff Dear told the police "no more baby parts." [4]

Terrorist organizations

Ku Klux Klan "KKK", Animal Liberation Front, Army of God, Aryan Nations, Black Liberation Army, Earth Liberation Front, Jewish Defense League, The Order, United Freedom Front, Weathermen just to mention a few.

Steven, you may not remember The Mountain Meadows Massacre The Mountain Meadows massacre was a series of attacks on the Baker–Fancher emigrant wagon train, at Mountain Meadows in southern Utah. The attacks began on September 7 and culminated on September 11, 1857, resulting in the mass slaughter of the emigrant party by members of the Utah Territorial Militia from the Iron County district, together with some Paiute Native Americans. Intending to leave no witnesses and thus prevent reprisals, the perpetrators killed all the adults and older children—about 120 men, women, and children in total. Seventeen children, all younger than seven, were spared.

or the Los Angeles Times bombing The Los Angeles Times bombing was the purposeful dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building in Los Angeles, California, on October 1, 1910 by a union member belonging to the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. The explosion started a fire which killed 21 newspaper employees and injured 100 more.

or the Wall Street bombing The Wall Street bombing was a terrorist incident that occurred on September 16, 1920, in the Financial District of New York City. A horse-drawn wagon filled with 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite was stationed across the street from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan Inc. bank. The explosion killed 38 and injured 400. Even though no one was found guilty, it is believed that the act was carried out by followers of Luigi Galleani.

Now lets focus on something that you should remember and never forget. Unabomber attacks, From 1978 to 1995, Harvard University graduate and former mathematics professor Theodore "Ted" Kaczynski – known by the codename "UNABOM" until his identification and arrest by the FBI – carried out a campaign of sending letterbombs to academics and various individuals particularly associated with modern technology. In 1996, his manifesto was published in The New York Times and The Washington Post,[18] under the threat of more attacks. The bomb campaign ended with his capture.

Attacks by the Jewish Defense League, In 2004 congressional testimony, John S. Pistole, Executive Assistant Director for Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence for the Federal Bureau of Investigation described the JDL as "a known violent extremist Jewish Organization."[19] FBI statistics show that, from 1980 through 1985, there were 18 terrorist attacks in the U.S. committed by Jews; 15 of those by members of the JDL.[20] Mary Doran, an FBI agent, described the JDL in a 2004 Congressional testimony as "a proscribed terrorist group". Most recently, then-JDL Chairman Irv Rubin was jailed while awaiting trial on charges of conspiracy in planning bomb attacks against the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, California, and on the office of Arab-American Congressman Darrell Issa. In its report, Terrorism 2000/2001, the FBI referred to the JDL as a "violent extremist Jewish organization" and stated that the FBI was responsible for thwarting at least one of its terrorist acts.[21]

I am sure that you remember this, Oklahoma City bombing This truck bomb attack by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols killed 168 people on April 19, 1995 – the deadliest domestic-based terrorist attack in the history of the United States. It inspired improvements to United States federal building security.

Centennial Olympic Park bombing, The Centennial Olympic Park bombing was a terrorist bombing on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States during the 1996 Summer Olympics, the first of four committed by Eric Robert Rudolph, former explosives expert for the United States Army. Two people died, and 111 were injured.

Or this one: Charleston church shooting, On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old Caucasian, killed nine African Americans with a 45-caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun during a prayer session at the Emanuel AME Church, where he asked for the Pastor's permission to join them. During the attack he told the pastor "you rape our women and are taking over the country.

San Bernardino shooting, On December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed and 22 injured in a mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, United States. Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and holiday party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. Farook was an American-born citizen of Pakistani descent, while his wife was a Pakistani-born legal resident of the U.S. He had attended the event as an employee before the shooting. Both had become radicalized through jihadist material on the internet, and stockpiled supplies in their home.

These bud GUY should still be on your mine, Orlando nightclub shooting On June 12, 2016, 49 people were killed and 53 were injured at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida by a 29-year-old Omar Mateen,[24] and a person of interest to the FBI in 2013 and 2014. This became the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history and the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil since the 9/11 attacks.

THESE ARE THE BAD GUYS THAT I'AM TALKING ABOUT STEVEN. All of these terrorist acts which happen here on American soil.
