NRA-Endorsed Incoming GOP Governor Will Keep State’s Sweeping Gun Control Law

If you can bring yourself to click on Glen Beck's site you might enjoy the irony of what goes around comes around. You may remember that the NRA supported Republican opponents of Democrats that had a A+ NRA rating showing that Democrats who fear not supporting the NRA are fools. Now it seems one of the NRA's guy is sticking his thumb in the gun nut's eye.

"A spokesman for Maryland Governor-elect Larry Hogan said the Republican will not attempt to repeal the state’s sweeping gun control law that’s received opposition from 21 states.

“If we get bogged down on tinkering around with law in Maryland on controversial issues, we’re never going be able to work together across party lines to fix our broken economy,” Hogan spokesman Adam Dubitsky told the University of Maryland campus newspaper, the Diamondback.

An NRA representative did not comment on the new word from Hogan."

A republican in a solid gun control state is generally as left or more left (on edit!!!) than a bluedog dem in purple states. They have to be, or they'd be dis-elected quickly.
