The MD House votes on a similar bill, which Democrats figure will pass "overwhelmingly".
The Senate and House reconcile the bills, the final goes to O'Malley to sign, which he will.
A Springfield M1A is now an "assault weapon". The Mini-14, with a folding stock, is also one, but the Mini-30 got overlooked. A Garand is NOT an "assault weapon".
