Collins Backs Gun Control Proposals for Maryland
Delegate Charles Collins urged stronger firearm control laws while insisting on preserving the right to bear arms. The discussion followed recent gun incidents in Frederick and Baltimore, with support from Moylan, Clapp, and local gun clubs. Collins has pushed similar bills for years, including a deer season proposal restricting firing to legal targets and ranges, and last session the measure passed the House but stalled in the Senate. Other lawmakers acknowledge enforcement and balance concerns, noting no final solution yet.
