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.

you know, I gotta say, this is the worst formatted comment that I've come across on this whole website, I think, and I say that as someone with a great history of writing meandering and poorly formatted comments. going line by line through someone else's argument is extremely tedious and so is spacing out almost every single line of your argument. the thickest it ever gets is two lines at a time. christ.

If I was going to complain about readability, I probably wouldn't have opted for all lowercase.

they have a point. your style is tedious.

Sorry I offended your delicate eyeballs. Next time I'll make sure to prioritize how my comment looks across a range of devices and frontends, rather than the clarity of the argument itself.

Should I also stop using capital letters? It seems to be what all the formatting police are doing but I'm worried it will make me look like a sock puppet account that I'm using to agree with myself.

personally, I prefer single-topic replies, even if that necessitates many individual replies to one comment. think about how much of your comment I just skipped for to the responses and length.
