Small Victory in Maryland
Not only did their legislature pass a bill that allowed police department to surplus old firearms to civilians, they overrode O’Malley’s veto.
UPDATE: Sebastian has more analysis.

And you say this happened in Maryland? My Maryland?
Oh, OK. The police can’t sell them direct to civilians, or to firearms dealers to sell to civilians.
The police need to sell the firearms back in trade to a manufacture, who then sells them to a wholeseller, who sells them to a stocking dealer, who sells them to civilians (after the civilian pays a fee to the police via the FFL holder to have the police investigate the buyer.)
