(Baltimore Sun) — The state of Maryland requires me to get a license to go fishing in the Patapsco River or crabbing off Booby Point or hunting at Elk Neck.
To drive a car, I am required to have a license — and the first time, I needed to pass a test to get one.
I must register with my local board of elections to vote.
But requiring me to get a license to purchase a gun is asking too much?
Requiring me to undergo a background check, provide my fingerprints and take a gun-safety course would “trample on” my Second Amendment rights?
