MD Governor Uses Executive Power To Gather Hunters' Email Addresses

Used them to tout gun restrictions

|

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley appears to have used his executive power to get the personal emails of citizens with hunting licenses in order to push gun control. The second-term Democrat is using the information in an attempt to divide gun owners to build support for his extremist legislation to abridge Second Amendment rights. 

Patrick Shomo, the president of the pro-gun rights organization Maryland Shall Issue, told me that O'Malley "appears to be tapping the state's Department of Natural Resources database for hunting licenses.
