Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan (D) and Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley (D) held press conferences backing the bill, and two leading Senate players in the gun debate are backing the idea.
"Maryland should take steps in limiting access to assault weapons," Frosh said. "Assault rifles are not necessary for legitimate activity like hunting and self defense. We don't need them on the streets of Maryland."
Miller agreed. "The general feeling in Maryland is we don't want assault weapons. If you're for the police and law-abiding citizens, I think most people agree that there is no need to have assault weapons on the street."
