The Second Amendment stands at a critical crossroad in America. The future of gun rights in America will likely be decided not decades from now, but within the next few years. It is imperative that conservatives, in particular, who historically have been strongly supportive of the right to keep and bear arms, understand not just the practical benefits to our society from a robust Second Amendment, but the philosophical foundations of gun rights as premised on the protection of our God-given, natural rights. Only with this well-armed, well-rounded expertise will supporters of the Second Amendment be properly equipped to mount a successful defense of such rights that increasingly are in danger from activists and politicians of all stripes and at all levels.
Trucks Included in Maryland’s Updated Safety Plan
Maryland Department of Transportation
Addressing risks associated with commercial motor vehicles is an objective outlined in the Maryland Department of Transportation’s recently released highway safety plan.
The 2021-2025 Maryland Strategic Highway Safety Plan, released Jan. 28, identifies strategies and actions meant to help eliminate fatalities on state roadways.
Between 2015 and 2019, some 11.5% of fatal crashes in Maryland involved a commercial motor vehicle. As strategies to addressing truck-related risks, the plan proposes advancing efforts supporting infrastructure modifications to reduce fatalities involving freight vehicles and educating drivers, enforcement officers and motor carriers about trucking regulations and visibility issues.

After years of study, the Maryland Department of Transportation has chosen its “preferred alternative” for Gov. Larry Hogan’s plan to expand portions of the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 in Montgomery County, the agency announced on Wednesday.
MDOT selected Alternative 9, which will add four High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes two in each direction to I-495 between the American Legion Bridge and the I-270 spurs, and to I-270 between the Beltway and Interstate 70 in Frederick.
Maryland, citing pandemic, delays release of draft study for third Bay Bridge span Katherine Shaver Maryland officials have delayed the release of a draft study exploring where to build a third span for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, saying they had to postpone federally required public hearings due to the worsening pandemic. The study, which analyzed the community and environmental impacts of three potential corridors for an additional span, was scheduled to be released last fall, said John Sales, spokesman for the Maryland Transportation Authority. Public hearings on the findings were scheduled for this winter. The state was on track to meet that schedule, Sales said, until coronavirus infection rates and “associated restrictions” increased. A plan to release the findings in December also was pushed back due to climbing coronavirus cases, he said.
