MD Governor Abuses Emails to Push Gun Control
Marylanders that hold state hunting licenses received an email from Gov. O’Malley on February 7 that was ostensibly informing them about the state’s hunting news. At the end of the message, though, O’Malley suddenly pivoted to an anti-gun message.
“I also want to take this opportunity to address you directly about the proposal we recently introduced to reduce gun violence,” O’Malley wrote. “Our goal is to enact common sense proposals to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals, and to try to reduce the risk of a mass shooting like the one that occurred in Newtown. Let me be clear: We are committed to protecting hunters and their traditions. That’s why we specifically carved out shotguns and rifles from the licensing requirements of our bill.”
O’Malley culled the email addresses from state hunting permit records and used them to push a political agenda that includes banning “assault weapons” and requiring licenses for most guns.

“Let me be clear.” Oh, he’s clear, all right.
Like the azure sky of deepest summer.

The silver lining here is that I heard the NRA is requesting all that email info through a Freedom of Information Act request. The reasoning being the list of hunting license holders may provide contact info for gun owners who are not NRA members and, consequentially, not reachable through normal NRA communication channels.
