With only 5 criminals currently on Maryland's death row and the last execution back in 2005, Governor O'Malley intends to sign into law the repeal of the State's death penalty law which was recently approved by the State Senate and General Assembly. O'Malley has also been pushing stricter gun control laws in the State. If history is any indication, these measures won't have the intended effect.
What is clear is that since the District of Columbia's strict gun laws that infrindged upon law abiding citizens' right to keep and bear arms was overturned in the Heller decision, violent crime in DC has gone down, not up like liberals predicted.
My prediction is given the choice between plying their trade in Virginia where the people can defend themselves and convicted murders face the real possibility of a death sentence, DC where the citizens at least can lawfully bear arms or Maryland where the people can't defend themselves and if convicted, murderers won't face the executioner, violent criminals will choose Maryland.
Under Gov. Martin O'Malley and the State's liberal legislature, Maryland is open for business for violent criminals from Virginia and DC.
