O'Malley signed gun control law

42. So how does mag limits help in that regard?

Criminals are, by their very nature, outlaws, they're not going to obey any laws, so how do these laws lower crime rates?
Criminals will always be able to get weapons, they'll steal them, buy them on the black market, get someone to do a straw purchase for them, etc., short of an outright ban on firearms, which is NEVER going to happen, you will not stop the criminal element from acquiring what they want.
The only people these laws effect are the law abiding citizens who are not the problem.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Now, I'm all for laws that actually do some good, like universal background checks, which I believe Maryland already has, beef up the ATF to actually go after FFL dealers violating the law, prosecute those who lie on form 4473 when purchasing a firearm, I have no problem with submitting fingerprints for a first time buyer, there are other sensible laws I would support, and there are laws I would oppose, like registration, license to own, etc.
