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.

    Ideally, but shits crazy. I’m a transgender woman and like a third of this country proudly wants me dead and some of them are willing to make it happen.

      If they see you with a firearm, it will be all these excuse they need.

      Don’t fall for the pro-gun bullshit. Equal access to firearms means nothing because violence always favors the biggest asshole.

        Don’t tell transwomen how to live their lives. Whatever you are, you do not live up to your username.

            LoL, is that all you’ve got left? You think conservatives ever encourage armed transpersons? After all I said to you, the courtesy I extended, you think it was all just bad faith? I wasn’t even rude. You’re as dense as any conservative. Read my history.

            What do you think John Brown would say to you? He was an agitator.

              Why would they care? They’re making millions of dollars off “armed leftists” who aren’t the slightest threat to them.

              They put $16 million of those profits each year into the pockets of the most far-right Republicans running.

              The far-right shitheads you’re enabling go on monthly killing sprees targeting minorities. Meanwhile, whats your Nazi body count? Zero?

              Do you need some names and addresses? I can hook you up. I’m talking swastika tattoo, mask off, proud boys.

              Face it, everything you’re doing is working out great for fascists. You couldn’t have been more help if you joined them.

              But it’s all worth it right, because now the trans community is… oh, much less safe and accepted than they would be in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and most of Europe.
