Myth: Every 48 Hours, An Analysis Of Assault Rifles Traced To Crime In Maryland

Fact: This claim by Cease Fire Maryland includes firearms never used in crimes. Some
examples of firearms traced include:

• 47 firearms found at the private residence of a person who passed-away from natural causes, and which were never used in any crime.

• Firearms temporarily taken from owners under court Emergency Evaluation Petitions (the firearms were not used in crimes, but the judge wanted them confiscated until other issues are resolved).
