Washington County Delegate Neal Parrott says the battle to reject Governor Martin O’Malley’s new gun control law would be best fought in a court room- not the ballot box. The group that led efforts to petition three measures to Maryland’s ballot last fall announced Wednesday that it would not attempt to force a public vote on Gov. Martin O’Malley’s recently passed gun-control legislation. MDPetitions.com said it would instead support a promised court challenge of the new law by the National Rifle Association. Parrott (R-Washington), chairman of MDPetitions.com, said the decision was reached after consultation with several gun-rights groups that believe the law championed by O’Malley (D) violates the 2nd Amendment.
