Ironically, Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks Maryland No. 8 in the country for gun control stringency. Maryland’s controls include universal background checks for handgun purchases, a concealed carry permit requirement, a red flag law, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, gun storage rules, a bump stock ban, a “Glock switch” ban, a Glock ban, and “Ghost gun” regulations, among other things.
