2nd Amendment Protection

Dear Constituent,     

I am in the Joint hearing room now listening to freedom loving Marylanders testify in opposition to HB 294. These proud men and women, around 5000, took off today losing a day’s pay to stand up for their right to bear arms; I am honored to be in the same room with them. The hearing is expected to go through the night, maybe into Saturday. You can rest assured that I will continue to hold firmly to my position on the 2nd amendment. “I believe, in accord with the founders, that our right to own firearms stands next in importance to the constitution itself. Firearms represent our liberty and are the keystone to our independence. I believe that an atmosphere of armed citizenry restrains evil — and deserves a place of honor and respect in our society. I absolutely uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a right which antedated the Constitution, and was solemnly confirmed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. I have always supported and defended the law-abiding citizen’s God-given right to gun ownership because self-defense is the key to maintaining life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. I will vote against HB 294/SB281.

Have a great weekend my friends,

Your delegate and servant, Glen Glass
