Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.

Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.

"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.

    this is more poisoning the well. poisoning the well is a form of ad hominem, and personal attacks are expressly prohibited on lemmy.world and this community.

          which I didn’t

          You did. I linked to it. First you said I was saying someone shouldn’t own a gun, which I did not, then you said I was arguing with them, which I was not. Both were lies. So that is lie number three.

          You’re attacking the person here by saying “this person did a thing therefore you shouldn’t listen to them.”

          And this is lie number four. I never suggested anyone shouldn’t listen to you.

            > never suggested anyone shouldn’t listen to you.

            this is actually implied by your other statements and gives the lie that you are operating in good faith. I will be reporting most of this conversation. feel free to do the same.

              I implied no such thing. I cannot stop anyone from listening to you and everyone is free to listen to you.

              Doing the “I’m not a liar, you are” thing after I pointed out every single lie you told is a bit silly, don’t you think?

        Even if I did lie about you which I didn’t that doesn’t change whether what I’m writing in this thread is true. You’re attacking the person here by saying “this person did a thing therefore you shouldn’t listen to them.” it’s textbook poisoning the well. it’s an ad hominem. it’s a personal attack.

          I have never once attacked you personally. That is lie number five.

          You have demonstrated nothing, but I will not call that a lie, I will chalk that up to you likely not knowing what “quod erat demonstrandum” means.

          Also, did you delete this post once just so you could add ‘qed’ to the end? It’s “Q.E.D.,” incidentally.
