The National Rifle Association objected to CeaseFire Maryland?s recent study that found assault weapons linked to crimes in Maryland every 48 hours.
CeaseFire reported that 789 assault weapons were traced to crimes in Maryland from Jan.2, 1998, to Dec. 31, 2001 ? an average of one weapon every other day ? based on data from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
