Maybe that is why he has been so quiet on the issue.

That was fake news on all accounts. Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws.

Maryland -- Md. Pub. Safety Code § 5-133.

A person may not possess a regulated firearm if the person:

Suffers from a mental disorder and has a history of violent behavior against the person or another;

Has been found incompetent to stand trial because of mental retardation or mental disorder;

Has been found not criminally responsible by reason of insanity;

Has been voluntarily admitted for more than 30 consecutive days to a mental health treatment facility; or

Has been involuntarily committed to a mental health treatment facility.

Thats what I get for the quick hit post without checking on the issue.  noted.
