Gov. Moore signs gun safety legislation

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed three pieces of gun safety legislation into law on Thursday.

These three measures will further strengthen Maryland’s gun violence prevention laws.

House Bill 947 will help hold bad actors in the firearm industry accountable when their misconduct harms Marylanders. Senate Bill 475 will created a Center for Firearm Violence Prevention under the Department of Health, which will increase collaboration between the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, State Police, and other stakeholders. Finally, House Bill 810 will expand the definition of “rapid fire trigger activator” to include auto sears, also known as Glock switches, banning these deadly devices in the state.
